Ensure that you have enabled the Web Service Module on the BMC FootPrints Asset Core 11.7 or later server. For information about enabling the Web Service Module, see step 1.

If enable the enhanced UI in BMC Remedyforce and then unload web services on the BMC Client Management server, clicking the Test Connection button or the Save icon on the BMC Client Management Integration Settings page displays the following error message:

Error occurred when trying to connect to BMC Client Management. Unable to tunnel through proxy. Proxy returns "HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable".

Check for the entry starting with CreateRemedyIncident in the mtxagent.log file. The mtxagent.log file is available in the folder where you have installed BMC Client Management.

You can use the message with the entry to understand the reason of not being able to create incidents. For example, you might have configured a validation rule that is not allowing BMC Client Management to create incidents.
