Enabling cross-launch to BMC Atrium Service Context

You must manually register the Infrastructure Management with the Web Services Registry (UDDI) to enable the cross-launch from the Infrastructure Management operator console to the BMC Atrium Service Context application in the following circumstances: 

• You integrated with the BMC Atrium CMDB after you installed the Infrastructure Management components by using either the integrate_atrium_cmdb script or the post installation configuration utility in the operator console. 
• You implemented a multiple server deployment of Infrastructure Management.
  If you have a multiple server Infrastructure Management deployment, you must configure the mcell.dir file on the computer that hosts the central server before you register the Infrastructure Management with the UDDI registry.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have installed the BMC Atrium Core components (which includes BMC Atrium Service Context) and integrated Infrastructure Management with the BMC Atrium CMDB. For details about installing the BMC Atrium Core components, see BMC Atrium Core online technical documentation. For details about integrating with the BMC Atrium CMDB after you install the Infrastructure Management components, see Configuring Infrastructure Management Integrations using the operator console or Configuring BMC Atrium CMDB integration for using the integrate_atrium_cmdb script.

To define the cells associated with the Central and Child Servers in a multi-server deployment

You must perform this procedure before you register the Infrastructure Management with the UDDI registry if you have a multiple server Infrastructure Management deployment. If you do not have a multiple server deployment, proceed to the next procedure, To register the Infrastructure Management with the UDDIregistry

1. Open the mcell.dir file located in the installationDirectory/server/etc directory on the central server computer.

2. Define each cell associated with the central server and child servers by entering the following line for each cell:
   cell cellName encryptionKey hostNameOnWhichCellIsInstalled:portOnWhichCellIsInstalled 

   
   For example, if you have three servers in a multiple server deployment, you must enter three cell entries in the mcell.dir file on the central server. 

    

   After you edit the mcell.dir file on the central server, perform the following procedure to register the Infrastructure Management with the UDDI registry.

To register the Infrastructure Management Service Context web services with the UDDI registry

Perform the following procedure on the computer that hosts the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server in a single-server deployment or on the computer that hosts the central server in a multiple server deployment.

1. From a command line, change to the installationDirectory/pronto/bin directory and run the following command to configure the BMC Atrium CMDB connection information in the installationDirectory/pronto/conf/bppmsaiws.properties file:
   bppmsai_integrate_atrium -p "CMDBServer=<CMDBServer>"
[-p "CMDBPort=<CMDBPort>"] 
[-p "CMDBUser=<CMDBUser>"]
[-p "CMDBPassword=<CMDBPassword>"]
2. From the installationDirectory/pronto/bin directory, run the following command to configure the UDDI connection information in the installationDirectory/pronto/conf/bppmsai_uddi_registry.properties file:
   bppmsai_integrate_atrium -p "UDDIServer=<UDDIServer>"
[-p "UDDIPort=<UDDIPort>"] 
[-p "UDDIUser=<UDDIUser>"] 
[-p "UDDIPassword=<UDDIPassword>"]
3. From the installationDirectory/pronto/bin directory, run the following script:
   • (Windows): bppmsai_uddi_publish.cmd
   • (Solaris and Linux): bppmsai_uddi_publish.sh 
     
     You can now launch the BMC Atrium Service Context application from a configuration item (CI) defined in a service model and displayed in the Tile view, Canvas view, Graph view, or Heat Map view. For details, see Launching the BMC Atrium Service Context application from the operator console.
