The following topics are provided:! BSM Interoperability data flow (page 18)! Prerequisites (page 20)! Backwards compatibility testing (page 22)! Installation overview (page 26) Chapter 1 About BSM Interoperability 17

18 BSM Interoperability BSM Interoperability data flow BSM Interoperability allows data to flow between multiple BMC Software products, often bidirectionally. Figure 1-1 on page 19 illustrates the logical flow of data for components in an implementation of BSM Interoperability Most components and applications shown within the BMC Remedy AR System boundary are not included in the base BMC Remedy AR System product. For a computer-by-computer illustration of the physical implementation of BSM Interoperability , see Figure 1-2 on page Installation and Configuration Guide

20 BSM Interoperability Prerequisites BMC Software recommends these system prerequisites and suggested considerations based on end-to-end testing of the BSM Interoperability offering. Operating system and database requirements This section describes overall operating systems and database requirements for both Windows and UNIX implementations of the solution. BSM Interoperability compatibility is provided in compatibility matrices for individual components. These compatibility matrices can be found at Windows During testing, BSM Interoperability was tested on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2 and SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2. The examples in the documentation reference this configuration, although any supported combination listed in the compatibility matrix can be used. NOTE Many BMC Software products that use SQL Server require that the SQL Server Agent is running so that the server can connect to remote databases. BMC Portal requires an Oracle database. You can use an existing Oracle 10g database or the BMC Datastore (included on the BMC Portal DVD). UNIX During testing, BSM Interoperability was tested on Sun Solaris 10 and Oracle 11g with the latest patches installed. The examples in the documentation reference this configuration, although any supported combination listed in the compatibility matrix can be used. For UNIX installations, all servers must be server-class computers, preferably with multiple processors. Because some BSM Interoperability products do not have UNIX versions, some servers in the environment must be Windows computers. 20 Installation and Configuration Guide

21 Prerequisites Other requirements Individual products in the BSM Interoperability offering have their own installation prerequisites. Some of these prerequisites are satisfied by steps you take when installing other products using the procedures in this section. Any other prerequisites are shown in Figure 1-2 on page 27. Consult your documentation for details on licensing for specific products. About BSM Interoperability! 21

BMC Remedy Knowledge Management Installation Guide! installation instructions! instructions to integrate with AR System Recommended order of installation The following high-level steps provide the recommended order for installing the AR System and AR System applications. 1 Install the following BMC Remedy AR System server patch 003 features:! AR System server with! AREA LDAP Directory Service Authentication! ARDBC LDAP Directory Service Data Access! Web Services Plugin! BMC Remedy Approval Server! BMC Remedy Assignment Engine! BMC Remedy Flashboards! other appropriate BMC clients BMC Remedy AR System patches are cumulative. A BMC Remedy AR System patch contains the installer for the full version of BMC Remedy AR System, so when installing for first time, you can run the patch installer to install the full BMC Remedy AR System product with patch updates. NOTE Depending on the amount of data you store in your BMC Atrium CMDB, your database size might need to be increased. The minimum size used in interoperability testing was 8000 MB.! For Windows installations, make sure you:! In the MS SQL Information panel of the installer, increase the Database Initial Size from 300 MB to at least 8000 MB if you are installing the entire BMC Remedy IT Service Management suite of applications.! For UNIX installations, make sure you:! Verify that the user installing the AR System server has access to the tnsnames.ora file. 34 Installation and Configuration Guide

35 Installing BMC Atrium and BMC IT Service Management applications! Increase the default data tablespace from 300 to at least 8000 megabytes at the AR System server Database Settings prompt if you are installing the entire BMC Remedy IT Service Management suite of applications. IMPORTANT To avoid BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping and BMC Atrium CMDB export failures, you must select the Unicode option when installing the AR System server on both UNIX and Windows. 2 In AR System Administration Console, apply the appropriate licenses. AR System applications do not require license keys. AR System requires license keys only for AR System servers. NOTE For Windows 2008 servers, you cannot use the BMC Remedy User Tool for licensing as it will return an invalid Host ID. You must use ipconfig /all on the local machine to determine the physical address of the computer. This physical address acts as your Host ID for licensing purposes. 3 In AR System Administration Console, increase the maximum number of threads for the Fast and List queues to improve performance. Fast queues should have five times as many threads as the number of processors in your server, while List queues should have three times as many threads as the number of processors. 4 Install BMC Atrium Core , including these features:! BMC Atrium CMDB! BMC Atrium Impact Simulator! Product Catalog! BMC Atrium Integration Engine! Web services (on its own computer) NOTE Install BMC Atrium Web Services on its own computer to avoid resource contention and port conflicts. 5 If applicable, choose to import your data during the installation. 6 Install BMC Remedy Mid Tier on its own computer. Installing BSM Interoperability components! 35

36 BSM Interoperability Install the following BMC Remedy IT Service Management applications in any order:! BMC Remedy Asset Management! BMC Remedy Change Management!
