General customizations


This topic describes how to do manual customizations in the AMICMNEV member. 

Important

Some of the settings are the same as those you entered during installation. For reference, see Planning.

The RTCS service list is not auto-populated on the BMC AMI Ops User Interface. To connect to the required service, enter the service host and port number.

Enter the service host and port number in <host:port> format. For example, myhost:8080.

Setting HTTP connection settings

You can set or change the system connection setting from secure (HTTPS) to not secure (HTTP).

Warning

Running BMC AMI Ops User Interface with HTTP poses a security vulnerability.

We recommend running with HTTPS only.

Set the following properties in the AMICMNEV member of the &HLQ.UBBSAMP data set:

SSL_ENABLE=false
AMIDSC_PORT_TYPE=http
AMIDSC_SECURED=false
AMIDSC_UNSECURED=true

To change the host and port settings for servers

Set the following properties in the AMICMNEV member of the &HLQ.UBBSAMP data set. The values are the same as those you entered during installation and as you determined in Planning.

To configure the server to separate working folder from installation directory

You can configure the server to separate the Read/Write files (for example, configuration files and logs files) from the installation directory, which contains read-only files (for example, jar and other product files).

  1. To configure the server, set the required variables from the following table with full path.

    Server

    Variable

    Data set

    BMC AMI Ops UI Server

    OPSAPP_HOME

    &HLQ.BMCPCNFG.AMIAPSEV

    BMC AMI Ops UI Discovery server

    DISC_HOME

    &HLQ.BMCPCNFG.AMIDSCEV

    BMC AMI Ops Monitor

    AMIMON_HOME

    &HLQ.BMCSAMP.MUXMONEV

  2. From the read-only path, copy all the files and folders to the newly created working folder (except the jar files).
  3. Restart the server.
