Before you begin

You must configure BMC Helix Single Sign-On (BMC Helix Single Sign-On). If you do not configure BMC Helix Single Sign-On, you must enter the Mid Tier log in credentials after right-clicking the CI and then selecting Edit Instance. 

To configure the default web path of the AR System server for editing CIs

  1. Access the Action Request System using the URL:
    http://<midTierServer>:<port>/arsys/
  2. When prompted, enter your Action Request System user name and password.
  3. From the AR System Administration Console, select System > General > Server Information.
  4. Click the Advanced tab.
  5. In the Default Web Path field, enter the fully qualified domain name of the Mid Tier server.
    For example, if calbro-sys-ab is the Mid Tier server and the port used is 9292, enter: 
    http://calbro-sys-ab:9292>/arsys/ 
  6. Click Apply.
  7. Close the console.
    Users can now right-click a CI when in edit mode and select Edit Instance. The CI attributes automatically open in mid-tier where the attributes can be edited.
