Understanding integration data exchanges

A data exchange is a set of rules that define how data is transferred between the BMC BladeLogic Decision Support for Server Automation database and BMC Atrium CMDB. Data that is transferred into BMC Atrium CMDB normally populates multiple CI classes and the relationship classes that connect them.

When you install BMC BladeLogic Atrium Integration, the data exchanges required to transfer data are created automatically in the BMC Atrium Integration Engine. These data exchanges are shown in the following figure:

BMC BladeLogic Atrium Integration creates the following exchanges:

  • BL_CALL_INIT_1
  • BL_CALL_INIT_2
  • BL_DEL_BIOSELEMENT
  • BL_DEL_COMPUTERSYSTEM
  • BL_DEL_DISKDRIVE
  • BL_DEL_IPENDPOINT
  • BL_DEL_LOCALFILESYSTEM
  • BL_DEL_MEMORY
  • BL_DEL_NETWORKPORT
  • BL_DEL_OPERATINGSYSTEM
  • BL_DEL_PROCESSOR
  • BL_DEL_VIRTUALSYSTEM
  • BL_LOAD_SRVR_PROPS
  • BL_PULL_BIOSELEMENT
  • BL_PULL_BIOSELEMENT_RELATIONSHIP
  • BL_PULL_COMPUTERSYS_CO
  • BL_PULL_COMPUTERSYSTEM
  • BL_PULL_DISKDRIVE
  • BL_PULL_DISKDRIVE_RELATIONSHIP
  • BL_PULL_IP_RELATIONSHP
  • BL_PULL_IPENDPOINT
  • BL_PULL_LOCALFILESYSTEM
  • BL_PULL_LOCALFILESYSTEM_RELATIONSHIP
  • BL_PULL_MEMORY
  • BL_PULL_MEMORY_RELATIONSHIP
  • BL_PULL_NETWORKPORT
  • BL_PULL_NETWORKPORT_RELATIONSHIP
  • BL_PULL_OPERATINGSYSTEM
  • BL_PULL_OPERATINGSYSTEM_RELATIONSHIP

Warning

Note

The data exchanges created by BMC BladeLogic Atrium Integration are inactive by default. To transfer instances for a single class, you must activate the set of data exchanges for that class. To transfer instances for all classes, you must activate the set of data exchanges for all classes. Use the Active/Inactive button in BMC Atrium Integration Engine to activate the data exchanges.

For more information about the data exchange process, see the BMC Atrium Integration Engine User Guide.
