Using the BMC Database Automation adapter in non-SSL mode

This topic describes enabling the BMC Database Automation application's REST-based API to listen to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and to enable the adapter to work in non-SSL mode.

To enable the BMC Database Automation application's REST-based API for HTTP

1. Navigate to the /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/mtd.conffile on the computer where you have installed the BMC Database Automation application and make the following changes in the file:
   1. In the following line, ensure that -c 1 -s 0 -p 8088 is exactly as shown:
      service=static MtdApiSoapAcceptor "-c 1 -s 0 -p 8088 -k /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/server.key -x /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/server.pem -y /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/cacert.pem"
   2. If this line is a comment (the line begins with a #), delete the # and any white space before the word "service".
2. Stop the following services in the given sequence using the appropriate command at the command prompt:
   1. httpd: service httpd stop
   2. mtd: service mtd stop
   3. dmanager: service dmanager stop
3. Start the following services in the given sequence using the appropriate command at the command prompt:
   1. dmanager: service dmanager start
   2. mtd: service mtd start
   3. httpd: service httpd start

To enable the BMC Database Automation adapter to operate in the non-SSL mode

1. Enable the BMC Database Automation application's REST-based API for HTTP.
2. Enable the BMC Database Automation adapter on the grid with an empty configuration (<config/>).

3. Execute the following request on the BMC Database Automation application:

   <bda-request>
     <operation-name>No_Operation</operation-name>
     <target>http://<IP-ADDRESS>:<PORT>/api/jobs/JOB_ID</target>
   </bda-request>

   • IP-ADDRESS: IP address of the computer on which the BMC Database Automation application is installed
   • PORT: Port number on which the REST-based API service runs and is specified in the /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/mtd.conf file
