Setting Oracle as an external BMC Atrium DIL metadata repository

BMC recommends that you set up Oracle as an external BMC Atrium DIL metadata repository only with the help of BMC Customer Support as this involves some manual steps that need technical assistance.

Before you begin

  1. Make sure that the DIL services are up and running.
  2. Navigate to the <InstallDir>\BMC Software\BMCDashboardsForBSM\DIL\CIS\bin directory and execute the following commands:

<InstallDir>\BMCDashboardsForBSM\DIL\CIS\bin>backup_export.bat -server

localhost -port 9400 -pkgFile repoBackup -user admin -password <password> -domain composite

Note

 Decrypt the current DIL password to get the value for the password.

For example:

C:\Program Files\BMCDashboardsForBSM\DIL\CIS\bin>backup_export.bat -server

localhost -port 9400 -pkgFile repoBackup -user admin -password bce3bab88258c875f413 -domain composite

The repoBackup file is created in the same directory.

Setting up the Oracle metadata repository

The following procedures are a part of setting up the Oracle metadata repository. For more information, see the Setting up an Oracle Repository chapter from the DIL Administration Guide located in the <InstallDir>\BMCDashboardsForBSM\DIL\CIS\docs directory.

  • Creating the new Oracle database schema and assigning permissions to the created user.
  • Configuring the newly created database with the existing CIS instance, by manually updating the repo.propeties file.

Importing the backup contents after setting up Oracle repository

  1. Make sure that the DIL services are up and running.
  2. Navigate to the <InstallDir>\BMC Software\BMCDashboardsForBSM\DIL\CIS\bin directory and execute the following commands:

<InstallDir>\BMCDashboardsForBSM\DIL\CIS\bin>backup_import.bat -server

localhost -port 9400 -pkgFile repoBackup -user admin -password admin -domain composite

Protecting the composite admin user

  1. Log in to the server (username: dil_admin and password: bce3bab88258c875f413) using the Composite Studio.
  2. Execute the following commands:

/shared/BMC_DIL/Install/UpdateAdminPassword

Using inputs: USER.NAME=admin:USER.PW=AAFA9BE38B056BF3481685F9D2C6FF4EA26BF7C5E5855D15A

The new Oracle repository now points to the existing CIS instance.
