Phased rollout This version of the software is currently available only to early adopter SaaS customers as the first step in our phased rollout.

Making configuration changes to integrated applications

You can change the settings that BMC Helix Digital Workplace uses to connect to the following applications:

  • BMC Service Request Management
  • BMC Helix ITSM (the enterprise application)
  • Action Request System (AR System) (dedicated to the BMC Helix Digital Workplace application)

Important

If you are installing in a cluster, specify the Action Request System (AR System) server that is enabled as the administration server. Do not specify the cluster load balancer.

To configure connection settings to related applications (providers)

A BMC Helix Digital Workplace administrator can configure the connection to any of the providers in the List-of-providers. For example, the LDAP provider allows administrators to send broadcasts to groups defined in LDAP. The BMC Atrium CMDB provider allows you to import the content of a shared query from BMC Atrium CMDB into BMC Helix Digital Workplace.To make this integration work, you must update the configuration settings with the applicable parameters, such as a service password, host name, and port number. 

  1. From the  BMC Helix Digital Workplace Admin console (http://server:port/dwp/admin), select Configuration.
  2. In the Providers table, click the cell related to the application that you want to configure.
  3. Depending on the application, change the host settings, port, or URL, or simply connect to or disconnect from the application.
    When editing a field value, such as a URL, press Enter to save the change. 
  4. When you have completed your changes, click Reload providers.

Important

The Advanced tab is used to isolate performance issues and to use the BMC Helix ITSM private queue. Use this tab only if BMC Professional Services or Support directs you to do so.
