Installing or upgrading BMC Remedy Mid Tier

Unknown macro: {multi-excerpt}

You must install the BMC Remedy Mid Tier to version 8.1 as part of the BMC Single Sign-On configuration.

Recommendation

When you are installing BMC Remedy AR System, BMC recommends:

To avoid configuration problems, accept the default values displayed in the installer unless you have a valid reason to modify them.
To reduce installation time significantly, do not install the products over the wide area network (WAN).
Install BMC Remedy Mid Tier on a separate computer from the AR System server.
Do not install BMC Atrium Single Sign-on and BMC Remedy Mid-Tier on the same computer. BMC Atrium Single Sign-on and BMC Remedy Mid-Tier must use different Tomcat instances because if the mid-tier computer needs to be restarted, all the other applications will be unavailable because BMC Atrium Single Sign-on will be down during the restart.

Before you begin

Install the BMC Single Sign-On server.
Prepare to run the AR System installer for your operating system.
For example, you must update Terminal Services configuration options and configure the DEP feature if you are using Windows. For more information, see [ars81:Preparing the Windows environment].
Install the 32-bit or 64-bit JRE and JDK 1.6.0_23 or higher.
- Set the JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME environment variables.
- For Solaris, JDK7 has a different folder structure than JDK6. For example, set the JDK7 JAVA_HOME to /data1/software/jdk1.7.0_05/bin/sparcv9/.
[Review the planning worksheet for AR System installations].
