Configuring for integrating with BMC Application Automation

To integrate BMC Application Automation 8.2 and later with BMC Release Process Management 5.0, you must perform certain configurations in BMC Release Process Management:

• Create an integration server 
• Import available automation scripts

Before you begin

• Ensure that you have operational knowledge of BMC Application Automation.
• Ensure that you have installed BMC Application Automation and that it is running.
• Ensure that you have enabled the web services on the application server for BMC Application Automation. 

To create an integration server

You must create an integration server that connects to BMC Application Automation and successfully integrates BMC Application Automation with BMC Release Process Management.

1. Go to System > Integrations, and then, on the right side, click Create new Integration.
2. In the Server Type list, select BMC Application Automation.
3. In the Server Name box, enter a unique name to identify the BMC Application Automation server.
4. In the Ip box, enter the IP address of the BMC Application Automation server where the web services are enabled.
   This box is optional. BMC Release Process Management uses data from the Server URL box to integrate with BMC Application Automation.

5. In the Server URL box, enter a valid HTTPS address of the server where the web services are enabled in the following format: https://hostName:portNumber.
   BMC Release Process Management uses this address to connect to the BMC Application Automation server.

   Tip

   Ensure that the server URL does not contain a forward slash at the end:

   https://bsa-server.my-company.com:9843

6. In the Port box, specify the port number of the server where the web services are enabled.

   Note

   If you specified the server port in the Server URL box, leave the Port box blank.

7. In the Username box, specify the user name for connecting to the BMC Application Automation server.
8. In the Password box, specify the password for connecting to the BMC Application Automation server.

9. In the Details box, specify the following details in the YAML format:

   • role: userRole
   • authentication_mode: SRP

   Example

   role: BLAdmins
   authentication_mode: SRP

   Note: Ensure that you insert a space between the colon and the value, as shown in the examples.   

10. Click  Add Server.

To import scripts

Navigate to Environment > Automation, and then click Import scripts from Library on the right pane.
For more information about importing automation scripts, see Importing-automation-scripts-from-the-library.

After completing the configurations, you can create a request, add steps, and use the scripts to perform your deployment tasks.
