Launching BMC Helix CMDB widgets from non-AR System applications

You can launch the Atrium Query or CMDB Explorer directly from any non-AR System applications using a browser. To launch the BMC Atrium Query or CMDB Explorer, you must specify the initialization parameters for the widget in the URL format.

In the URL for launching a widget, constants, such as F490001100 indicate the field ID on the Atrium:Explorer or Atrium:Query form. These IDs are fixed values for the initialization parameters. The following table lists the parameters and field ID mappings that you can use to launch the Atrium:Explorer form.
