Integrating BMC Helix Remedyforce with BMC Client Management

Note

The following section provides information about an older method of integrating BMC Remedyforce with BMC Client Management. A newer and improved method, Remedyforce Discovery, is now available to integrate with BMC Client Management. If BMC Client Management is not already implemented, it is recommended that you consider Remedyforce Discovery instead. For more information about the new method, see Remedyforce-Discovery and How-discovery-works.

BMC Client Management (known before version 12.0 as BMC FootPrints Asset Core) is an advanced systems management software that provides a reliable way to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot all systems on a network. It isolates the exact point of failure when problems occur and makes it possible for network and system difficulties to be resolved quickly. For more information, see http://www.bmc.com/it-solutions/client-management.html.

When BMC Remedyforce and BMC Client Management are integrated, users can link BMC Client Management devices to an incident or service request, view asset summary of the devices, perform actions and deploy operational rules on the devices, and start the BMC Client Management console from BMC Remedyforce. For more information, see Scenarios-for-using-BMC-Remedyforce-with-BMC-Client-Management.
