To verify that the required services are running

  1. Verify that the required services are running:
    • Windows:
      1. Select Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
         The Services window opens.

        ps -ef | grep -i bmccsm
      2. In the resulting filtered output, look for the following process names: bmccsm and osgi.
  2. If the required services are not running, start Platform Manager.
    • (Windows) From the Services window, select the BMC CSM service, and click Start the service.
    • (Linux) From a command prompt, type the following command:
      /etc/init.d/bmccsm start


To verify that the AR User is properly set to clmsystemuser in the JSON

For all fresh installs of Platform Manager, the attributeValue of the AR User is set to clmsystemuser. You created this new user during the AR Post Install Configuration.

Warning

If you need to change the password of clmsystemuser, contact customer_support@bmc.com to get the encrypted value of this user's password. Do not enter this password as a clear text value in the JSON file. Otherwise, you run the risk that your system might fail to authenticate against your AR Server database. For more information, see Changing-passwords-in-CLM-product-applications.

  1. Log on to the server that hosts Platform Manager.
  2. Change directories to <installPath>\Platform_Manager\Configuration.
  3. Open cloudservices.json in a text editor. 
  4. Search for clmsystemuser
    For example:

     "attributeValue" : "clmsystemuser",
       "description" : "Database(AR) User",
       "guid" : "51d59048-32f3-4a98-a5d3-3b96066a4c9b",
       "name" : "user"
      }, {
       "cloudClass" : "com.bmc.cloud.model.beans.AccessAttributeValue",
       "accessAttribute" : {
         "cloudClass" : "com.bmc.cloud.model.beans.AccessAttribute",
         "datatype" : "String",
         "description" : "Database(AR) Password",
         "guid" : "03379ef7-6e58-42c4-be06-f26d7f8eb537",
         "isOptional" : false,
         "isPassword" : true,
         "length" : 255,
         "modifiableWithoutRestart" : false,
         "name" : "password"
        },
       "attributeValue" : "x+IJYzkzRt8tjHGnMJaJhA==",
       "description" : "Database(AR) Password",
       "guid" : "5e3eb447-af3f-40f6-9feb-476bcbb4b971",
       "name" : "password"
  5. Close cloudservices.json.
