Enabling cross-launch to BMC Atrium Service Context

You must manually register the BMC ProactiveNet web services with the Web Services Registry (UDDI) to enable the cross-launch from the Operations Console to the BMC Atrium Service Context application in the following circumstances: 

• You integrated with the BMC Atrium CMDB after you installed the BMC ProactiveNet components by using either the integrate_atrium_cmdb script or the post installation configuration utility in the BMC ProactiveNet Operations Console. 
• You implemented a multiple server deployment of BMC ProactiveNet.
  If you have a multiple server BMC ProactiveNet deployment, you must configure the mcell.dir file on the computer that hosts the central server before you register the BMC ProactiveNet web services 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 BMC ProactiveNet 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 BMC ProactiveNet components, see Configuring BMC ProactiveNet Integrations using the Operations Console or Configuring BMC Atrium CMDB integration for using the integrate_atrium_cmdb script.

To define the BMC ProactiveNet Cells associated with the Central and Child Servers in a multi-server deployment

You must perform this procedure before you register the BMC ProactiveNet web services with the UDDI registry if you have a multiple server BMC ProactiveNet deployment. If you do not have a multiple server deployment, proceed to the next procedure, To register the BMC ProactiveNet web services 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 BMC ProactiveNet web services with the UDDI registry.

To register the BMC ProactiveNet Service Context web services with the UDDI registry

Perform the following procedure on the computer that hosts the BMC ProactiveNet 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 BMC ProactiveNet Operations Console.
