Limitations of the utility
After an integration is enabled, you cannot disable it through the interface. Active and inactive modes are available only for LDAP integrations.

- In the operator console, select Options > Administration.
Under Integrations with other BMC Products, click Edit.

By default, all integrations are marked for configuration and their configuration fields appear on the screen. If the text fields are populated with values, it means that the integration is enabled. Empty text fields indicate that the integration is not configured.
You can hide integrations that are not relevant to your installation by clearing the check boxes next to the integration name.In an upgrade scenario, details of the integrations already exist in the database. However, no data validation occurs during an upgrade. To initiate validation, modify the data in the configuration fields. All the fields that are available during installation are also available in the integration screen.

Click Apply.
The system tries to integrate with all the applications for which you have modified the configuration values in one batch. The integration process might take several minutes before completing.Verify the success or failure for each integration in the results window that is displayed.
