This topic provides information about changing the initial configuration for a BMC Server Automation Application Server. It includes the following sections:
You can use one of the following tools to change the configuration depending on the settings you plan to change:

blasadmin
utility) The blasadmin
utility is a command line utility that lets you set parameters needed for an Application Server. These parameters define the location and behavior of the application, database, file, mail, and SNMP servers, the Authentication Service, and other components of an Application Server. The blasadmin
utility lets you configure all parameters, versus the subset you can configure with the Post-Install Configuration Wizard.

To enter just one or two commands, you can both run the blasadmin
utility and pass it a command at the same time. For example, you can change the location of a file server (on the default Application Server) by entering the following command blasadmin set fileserver location /tmp/Storage.

To change configuration settings on an Application Server, you can use the Application Server Configuration wizard (blappconf). This wizard presents the same information as the Post-Installation Configuration wizard, except that it is in a tabbed format and shows current settings in text boxes. You can change the following settings:
Note
After super-user passwords are set in the Post-Installation Configuration wizard, you cannot use the Application Server Configuration wizard to change them. You must use the RBAC Administration tool.
To change the configuration of the default Application Server, use one of the following methods:
\bin\blappconf
On a UNIX or Linux system, from the directory where BMC Server Automation is installed, enter the following:./br/blappconf.exe
To change the configuration of a specific Application Server when there are multiple Application Servers on the same host, enter the following:\bin\blappconf -s <applicationServerName>
where <applicationServerName>
is the name of the Application Server you want to change.
For example:blappconf -s JobServer1
Note
If you specify:
blappconf -s
, changes affect the specified deployment.blappconf
without the -s
option, changes affect only the default deployment.blappconf -s _template
