Enable the (Undefined variable: CSAVariables.tabMigrateToCloud) Secondary Tiles

HPE Enterprise Maps manages a centralized Business Model that links to Cloud Service Automation. To bring the highest cost savings, improved agility, and quality using CSA, the right applications and services need to be selected. The HPE Enterprise Maps Cloud Assessment process will identify the most suitable applications and services, and register them in CSA. Management can continuously evaluate the actual Cloud transformation progress to ensure that the IT infrastructure capabilities and Cloud providers are optimally used to meet the Cloud transformation goals.

Cloud Transformation Process

HPE Enterprise Maps consolidates information about the existing application portfolio and sends out surveys to appropriate stakeholders using data from tools such as Universal CMDB, PPM, APM, or spreadsheets. Based on the collected information, HPE Enterprise Maps calculates scores showing suitability of the systems from business, technical and financial points of view. The results are visualized using a set of predefined reports.

For selected services and applications, HPE Enterprise Maps creates initial service designs in CSA using information consolidated in the first phase.

The transformation feature is available in the Cloud Service Management Console, and access is provided to the Administrator, Service Designer, and Service Business Manager roles.

Click the (Undefined variable: CSAVariables.tabMigrateToCloud) tile to see the next level of tiles (when these secondary tiles are enabled):

  • Cloud Assessment tile – starts and manages data collection and surveys.

  • Reports tile – displays the cloud transformation dashboard.

Prerequisites

  • You must have HPE Enterprise Maps installed and properly configured in your CSA environment.
  • To ensure seamless navigation between the products, make sure that the HP SSO for HPE Enterprise Maps is configured to enable logging on to CSA.
  • For HP SSO between CSA and HPE Enterprise Maps to work successfully, both products have to be installed on machines that are in the same Domain. The value of Domain and Protected Domain parameters specified for HP SSO configuration must be the same.

    Note As HP SSO is enabled by default, if you disable HP SSO manually, seamless navigation between CSA/Marketplace Portal and HPE Enterprise Maps will no longer work.

  • You must configure users for both CSA and HPE Enterprise Maps for single sign-on (each user must have the same name and password). You can also configure LDAP users for single sign-on. To enable single sign-on for LDAP users, you must either configure CSA and HPE Enterprise Maps to use the same LDAP source or, if CSA and HPE Enterprise Maps use different LDAP sources, configure the same users in both sources. In either case, the CSA user must be assigned to the appropriate role to access the tiles that launch HPE Enterprise Maps and the HPE Enterprise Maps user must be assigned a role that allows it to perform the expected functions in HPE Enterprise Maps.

  • When configuring HP SSO for HPE Enterprise Maps, the initString setting for CSA and HPE Enterprise Maps must be configured to the same value. In CSA, initString is configured in the crypto element in the CSA_HOME/jboss-as/standalone/deployments/csa.war/WEB-INF/
    hpssoConfiguration.xml
    file. The initString value represents a secret key and should be treated as such in your environment.
  • Review the HPE Enterprise Maps Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.

To enable (Undefined variable: CSAVariables.tabMigrateToCloud) tiles in the Cloud Service Management Console:

  1. Make a backup of the CSA_HOME/jboss‑as/standalone/deployments/csa.war/dashboard/config.json file (where

    CSA_HOME is the directory in which CSA is installed

    ).
  2. Edit the CSA_HOME/jboss‑as/standalone/deployments/csa.war/dashboard/config.json file.
  3. Search for a tile called enterprise_maps. You can search for the second occurrence of the following text: "id": "enterprise_maps".
  4. Under the "tiles" node, enable the first two tiles by changing "enabled": false to "enabled": true, and disable the third tile by changing "enabled": true to "enabled": false.
  5. In the data section for each of the tiles, change <<EM_HOST_NAME>> to match the host name of your HPE Enterprise Maps installation.
  6. Save and exit the file.
  7. If you are logged in to the Cloud Service Management Console, clear the browser cache (see Clear the web browser cache for information about how to clear the web browser cache) and refresh the browser to view the changes.

    Note The changes do not require you to restart CSA.
