Integrating TrueSight Infrastructure Management or ProactiveNet with Remedy OnDemand

You can integrate TrueSight Infrastructure Management or ProactiveNet with Remedy OnDemand using the HPD_IncidentServiceInterface web service. For information about using the web service, see Integrating directly with Remedy ITSM using web services.

This integration supports Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of service resolution. For information about the service resolution levels, see BMC Service Resolution levels.

Remedy OnDemand hybrid environment

Using a sample scenario, the following diagram illustrates the information flow in a hybrid SaaS environment. For example, ProactiveNet is installed as an on-premises product, whereas Remedy is hosted in a SaaS environment.

1. ProactiveNet detects a degradation in the response time of a router.
2. An alert is triggered and routed to ProactiveNet.
3. Using the event and the CI information, an Infrastructure incident is created in Remedy OnDemand through the web service.

4. The Incident ID is sent back to ProactiveNet.
   
   For information about importing the required SSL certificates, see Importing SSL certificates.

   Note

   ProactiveNet pulls the incident information from Remedy ITSM through the HPD_OutbouboundEventInterface web service. For more information, see Using HPD_ IncidentOutboundEvent web service.

5. An IncidentInfo event is created.
6. Router issue is resolved and the corresponding event is closed in ProactiveNet.
7. The IncidentInfo event is closed and the details are sent to Remedy OnDemand.
8. A Service Desk technician closes the incident.

Configuring the integration between TrueSight Infrastructure Management or ProactiveNet and Remedy OnDemand

After you install BMC Service Resolution, you must configure the integration between ProactiveNet and Incident Management. This integration involves the following activities:

1. Publish the CI information from CMDB to ProactiveNet. See Integrate CMDB with BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management/BMC ProactiveNet.
2. Integrate ProactiveNet with Remedy OnDemand. See Integrate BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management/BMC ProactiveNet with Remedy OnDemand.

To integrate CMDB with ProactiveNet

1. Open the ProactiveNet operator console.
2. Click Options > Administration > Integrations with other BMC products.
3. Click the Edit link.

4. Select the BMC AR Server/CMDB check box and enter the values in the following fields:
   

   Input field	Description
   AR Server Hostname	Enter the server name of the AR System Remedy OnDemand server. For Helix or Rod, enter onbmc-s as the hostname. Note: Ensure that the host name in this field is the name of the local client gateway that you have configured to integrate with the Remedy OnDemand system.
   AR Server Port	Enter the configured port number of the Remedy OnDemand server. Enter the same port number that you have configured in the AR API port for development field when configuring the local client gateway.
   AR Server User	Enter the Remedy OnDemand user name required to log on to the AR System server. The default is Demo. This user must have Administrative privileges. Note: Ensure that the AR System server user name is the name of the Remedy OnDemand user name.
   AR Server Password	Enter the password required to log on to the Remedy OnDemand server.
   Publishing Mode	Select Single Server or Multiple Server depending on whether you installed ProactiveNet on a single server or multiple server environment. If you select Multiple Server, the Enterprise parameter in the pserver.conf file is set to True otherwise, it is set to False. The Enterprise parameter enables (T) or disables (F) the enterprise mode of operation.
