Installing BMC Atrium Core Web Services components

Ensure that you install BMC Atrium Core Web Services components as follows:

  • Install BMC Atrium Core Web Services and BMC Atrium Core Web Registry on the same computer.

  • We recommend to install BMC Atrium Core Web Services on a server different than the server where BMC CMDB is installed.
    However, in a server group environment, if you cannot follow this recommendation and you need to install BMC Atrium Core Web Services in the same machine as BMC CMDB; then you must install both (BMC Atrium Core Web Services and BMC CMDB) on the primary server only.

Note

When installing BMC Atrium Core Web Services:

  • Unix non-root mode: You must have write access to /etc, /opt/bmc folder, and the install location.
  • Windows non-admin mode: You must have write access to the install location, and %windir% directory.
  • You can use bundled Apache Tomcat to deploy BMC Atrium Core Web Services components in a Proof of Concept (PoC) environment. However, in a production environment, you must use an external Tomcat to deploy BMC Atrium Core Web Services components. For instructions, see Installing-BMC-Atrium-Core-Web-Services-components-on-an-external-tomcat.

Note

BMC Atrium Core does not provide load-balancing support for BMC Atrium web services components in an AR System server group environment. Instead, you can configure the AR System server group for providing redundancy capabilities to the web services components. For this, you need to update the BMC Atrium web services registry on the secondary servers. See, Configuring BMC Atrium web services registry for AR system server group from the BMC Atrium Core online documentation.
