Upgrading BMC ProactiveNet CMDB Extensions

Perform these tasks on the BMC Remedy AR System Server if the Integration for BMC Remedy Service Desk - AR System module is already installed.

Before you begin

• Back up the data for the version that you are upgrading from.
• If you are using BMC Impact Integration for Remedy AR System (BMC II for AR System), you must uninstall it before upgrading to this version of Integration for BMC Remedy Service Desk .

• When you upgrade from Integration for BMC Remedy Service Desk 7.1.00 or Integration for BMC Remedy Service Desk 7.2.00, the installer moves the Integration for BMC Remedy Service Desk files to the installationDirectory/integrations/ibrsd directory and migrates all internal folder structures and configurations. Although the upgrade procedure migrates the earlier configurations, back up your installationDirectory/server/ibrsd folder as a precaution.
• When you upgrade BMC ProactiveNet CMDB extensions, all 'Server-Plugin-Alias' entries in the ar.cfg file located at the BMCARSystem\Conf directory are removed. These alias entries are necessary to have the ITSM stack functional. Therefore, you must take a backup of the ar.cfg file before running the upgrade and merge the contents of the backed up ar.cfg file with the new ar.cfg file post-upgrade. 

To upgrade the Integration for BMC Remedy Service Desk - AR System module

1. Navigate to the Integrations\Atrium_CMDB\CMDB_Extensions\Windows\Disk1 directory in the installation package.
   • If you have an installation DVD, copy the contents to a directory with write permission, and navigate to the directory.
   • If you have downloaded the installation files, navigate to the directory.

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   

7. On the SIM NOTIFY Plugin User Inputs page, enter the port number on which the SIM NOTIFY server is listening for incoming connections of clients (for example, BMC ProactiveNet Publishing Server) that subscribe for notifications. The default port number is 1840.
