Adding applications to the generic applications file
Every Agent has a sample generic_apps.conf file in its /app/clarity/dagent/etc directory. Edit this file to specify the applications running on the Agent for which you want BMC Database Automation to become aware. Any properties of the applications that you want BMC Database Automation to be aware of must also be specified in the generic_apps.conf file.
To list an application, place a line in the file containing the attributes for that application:
name=Your_Application_Name|version=Your_Application |app_identifier=your_app_id|in_cluster=is_in_cluster|this_property={}A_property_value|that_property=Another_property_value
Generic application attributes
For clustered applications, provide an additional line that defines which properties do not change between different instances of the clustered application. For example, if a clustered MySQL instance has the properties install_path and virutal_name, and the install_path can be different on different hosts in the cluster but the virtual_name must stay the same, the virtual_name is an application-level property, while install_path is not. The line defining the application-level properties uses the following format:
APPATTR|app_type|property_name1|property_name2
In this format, app_type is the application type, and property_name1 and property_name2 are names of the application-level properties. If there is more than one instance of your application listed in the file, the application-level properties only need to be defined once.
