BPPM/TSOM INTEGRATION
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this integration is to populate TrueSight Operations Manager or BMC ProactiveNet Performance
Manager directly with Entuity device and optionally relationship/dependency data. Service Models and topology
can be represented regardless whether the Atrium CMDB is integrated with BPPM.
The following diagram shows the data flow from Entuity to BPPM or TSIM:
The base integration can be modified and extended to support specific customer requirements.

ENTUITY SERVER CONFIGURATION
This section describes the configurations needed to be made on the ENMA server.
SW_DATA_EXPORT_DEF_ATRIUM.DEF FILE
This section will have you SFTP or SCP an updated DEF file. Even though the steps have you enable or configure the
Atrium Export, there is no dependency on the Atrium CMDB. Again, follow the video or steps below:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Copy (SCP/FTP) the sw_data_export_def_atrium.def file extracted from the integration archive file at
\ENMA_files and copy file to <ENTUITY_HOME>/etc directory.
Run the configuration ensuring the Atrium integration module is enabled.
Cd <ENTUITY_HOME>/install and type ./configure
Hit <return> for all values until you see the following question:
Type yes for “Would you like to modify the Module Selection [no]> “
Use the default values for all options. Do not enter any values for the Atrium CMDB, since this is not
needed for the integration. See below:
Would you like to modify the Module Selection [no]> y
Please choose the modules to install

BPPM OR TSIM CONFIGURATIONS
This section describes the steps for configurations required on the server which will run BPPM or TSIM Server.
ENABLE PUBLISHING
By default, Direct Publish publishing is enabled. Direct Publish is controlled in the pserver.conf file, located
ininstallationDirectory/pw/server/etc, by the parameter DirectPublishOrigin = T. (Default = T)
For Direct Publish environments, the Publishing Server looks up the cell information from a cell directory file. You
can set this file in pserver.conf with the parameter IMFileDirectoryName. It defaults to mcell.dir, so cells and BMC
ProactiveNet Publishing Server share the file.
VALIDATE PUBLISHING SERVER IS RUNNING
1.
2.
Type the following command: psstat
If the Publishing Server is not running, then type: pserver –b ps_<bppm_hostname>
CREATING THE ENTUITY PUBLISHING ENVIRONME NT
When all the BMC ProactiveNet data for the environment goes to one single cell, you can define the cell with the
parameter HomeCell. Create a Direct Publish environment and define HomeCell by running the following
command:
1.
2.
type: penv open -e ENTUITY -p "OriginId=DirectPublish" -p "HomeCell=<cellName>"
Validate ENTUITY env by typing: penv –e ENTUITY info

DOWNLOAD PENTAHO DATA INTEGRATION – COMMUNITIES EDITION
This section describes the steps for configurations required on the server running Pentaho PDI. PDI will need to be
run local to the BPPM or TSIM server. If you have BPPM running on Linux, follow the following steps for Windows
and make the adjustments (file paths). One requirement for PDI (Kettle) to run is a Java SE Runtime (version 7 or
8). If you do not have JRE installed on the BPPM or TSIM, please download and install.
DOWNLOAD AND EXTRACT PENTAHO PDI
1.
Click on the following link and select the latest version of PDI (Pentaho Data Integration):

Hint: If you need to troubleshoot, I would suggest that you open each transformation and execute one at
a time and narrow down the issues.
VALIDATION
After running the ETL successfully, you can validate by first opening the BPPM Administration Console (java
console) and checking the Component Data Tables as seen below:
ENTUITY DEVICE SYNCHRONIZATION WITH BPPM / TSOM

BPPM/TSOM INTEGRATION
Also if you send an event to a device (the ComponentAliases for the devices is set to
BMC_ComputerSystem:<hostname>) you should see something similar as below:
Lastly, if you synchronized Entuity Topology data, then locate a switch and view the relationships in the BPPM Ops
Console:
