To establish integration with BMC Helix Remedyforce, configure the following connectors, flows, and connector targets. You need to set up tenant level configurations. BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker provides out-of-the-box mappings and application level configurations required for the integration. After you complete the integration, you can broker tickets from BMC Helix ITSM to BMC Helix Remedyforce, sync BMC Helix Remedyforce ticket details to BMC Helix ITSM and so on. Each flow in the list of flows is essentially a feature that you can use. Depending upon your use case, you might have to configure multiple flows. BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker logically chains the flows and connector processes to complete the feature.

You can change the following out-of-the-box field mappings:
However, BMC recommends that you retain the existing mappings.

Notes- In addition to the above out-of-the-box mappings, when creating this flow from the catalog, you must enter Company, Customer First Name, Customer Last Name, and Vendor field values.
- The Priority value of a ITSM incident is automatically calculated depending upon the values of Impact and Urgency values in ITSM. When you broker a ticket from Remedyforce to ITSM, the priority of the brokered ticket in ITSM might not be the same as was specified in the flow mapping. For instance, when you broker an incident from Remedyforce to ITSM with priority 4, the incident that is created in ITSM will be of priority medium and not low.

List of connector targets for integration with BMC Helix Remedyforce
When a ticket is brokered from any vendor to BMC Helix ITSM, the ticket data first comes in BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker before being sent to BMC Helix ITSM. To send the data from BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker to BMC Helix ITSM, you must configure the MCSM ITSM connector target and set it in the Connector Process ITSM.
MCSM ITSM
For the MCSM ITSM connector target, define the connection configuration and profile required by the connector process.
