To help you make the most of our platform capabilities, we have outlined the following key information:

  • The configuration supports the OpenAI API Specification for REST API.

  • You are welcome to integrate your own LLM, but we cannot guarantee response accuracy due to the nature of LLMs. For best results, we recommend using Anthropic Claude-3.5-Sonnet.
  • Our GenAI feature requires sufficient data to generate an analysis. If there is not enough data, you will be notified via email.

Task 7: To enable zAdviser Enterprise On-Prem support

    Version

    PTF

    22.01

    IWH265A

    18.02

    IWG531A

  3. Make the following changes to your BMC AMI PARMLIB:

    Purpose

    Action

    Enable the on-premises mode

    ZADVISER = ON_PREM

    Set the on-premises IP address

    ZADVISER_ONPREM IP = ipAddress

    Replace ipAddress with your zAdviser Enterprise On-Prem instance (for example, 127.0.0.1).

    Configure the port number

    ZADVISER_ONPREM_PORT = portNumber

    Replace portNumber with the port number for sending zAdviser data to zAdviser Enterprise On-Prem.

    Warning

    Important

    The system automatically uses the port value specified in the PARMLIB, allowing for a flexible and dynamic port configuration.
