The following sections describe how to add a component, edit component properties, or delete a component from the Presentation Server:
To perform this procedure, you must have Deployment Administrator-level privilege, or higher.
Note
After a component is added to the list, the Host Name/IP Address and Tenant cannot be changed. To configure these fields, delete the component from the list and re-enter it with the revised settings.
Warning
Deleting an App Visibility portal is irreversible. You cannot add a previously deleted portal. Synthetic execution data is lost.
When you delete a component, the configuration information for dashlets related to that component is lost. You need to reconfigure the dashlets after re-adding the component.
The component's status is changed to Deleting. The process to delete the component can take several minutes, and is removed from the list after the deletion process is completed.
When you delete a component, you are also deleting the relevant devices and groups that are used in a monitored application. You must also delete the application or delete empty nodes from the application.
Note
When you delete a component whose status is not connected, the deletion fails and an error is displayed. Select the action menu
again and select Force Delete to ensure deletion.Restart any component that you force delete before re-adding it.
When you force delete an Infrastructure Management server, the Presentation Server entry in the mcell.dir file of the Infrastructure Management server is not deleted. Manually delete the Presentation Server entry and restart the Infrastructure Management server.
If you delete a tenant from the
BMC Atrium Single Sign-On
, you must also delete any component configured to use that tenant.
If you delete an App Visibility portal, App Visibility retains all of its configurations and data, and continues to collect data. The Execution Plans for synthetic transactions continue to run as scheduled.
Warning
Do not connect the App Visibility portal to another Presentation Server or associate the portal with a different tenant. Automatically generated applications are carried over, compromising data isolation, and manually created applications can show unexpected results or errors.
