   1. Open the BMC Remedy Deployment Management Console.
   2. Click Transfer Package > Import.
   3. Select Browse from the pop-up window to navigate to the folder from where you want to import the package.
   4. Select the package that you want to import and click OK.
      The package is displayed on the list with the 'Deployable' state and the 'Ready to deploy' status.

3. Access the BMC Client Management form to modify the configuration.

   Previously, when the InstallerFramework package was used, the BCMConfig.properties file contained the database configuration details. Now, with removal of this file, this configuration is done through a new form called BCM:Configuration. You have to access this form and modify the configuration or use the default values. To modify the BMC Client Management configuration form:

   1. Use the following URL to open the form in the Action Request System (AR System).
      http://localhost:8080/arsys/forms/<ARSystem server hostname>/BCM:Configuration
      The form is displayed.
   2. Type Default in the Short Description field and click Search.
      The result is displayed. 

   For BMC Client Management SQL Server installations, use the DB owner and the SQL Server Schema prefix for the search.

4. Modify the database connection.

   1. Go to Spoon and open a job from the repository. 
      Under the Database Connections node, the AtriumDB and BCMDB connections are displayed.
   2. Double-click the connections and modify them to make them valid.
   3. Click OK.

   Connection settings are now modified globally.To use the modified jobs, close the open job first and then open the job that you want to run.

To rollback the BMC Client Management D2P Package

1. Select the deployed BMC Client Management D2P Package.
2. Click Operations > Rollback and wait for the status change to 'Rolled back'.
3. Click Manage Package > Delete.
