Integration with CMS

This section describes the integration, contexts, KPIs, Metrics, and reports, if any, associated with the integration with the Configuration Management System data source.

The purpose of the integration of Configuration Management System (CMS) as a data source is to bring quality management information into the Data Warehouse.

For details about Configuration Management System (CMS), see http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/configuration-management-system-database/index.html.

ClosedTo access:

Select ADMIN > Data Management > Connect Data Source then click Add data source and select CMS to activate the integration processes for the CMS data source.

ClosedContent Packs and their functionality

To learn about Content Packs and their functionality see, Data Management - Connect the Data Sources in the .

ClosedDCS Integration:

An extractor using the Data Collection Service mechanism that extracts entities from the CMS source and generates corresponding flat files using the TQL query language. For details, see Data Management - Connect the Data Sources.

ClosedImportant Information

  • CMS supports multiple instances of the Content Pack.

  • All fields are case-sensitive.

Closed Activate the integration

  1. Activate the CMS Data Source:

    1. Select ADMIN > Data Management > Connect Data Source then click Add data source.

    2. The Add Data Source page opens. Select the CMS data source type.

    3. Select or enter the configuration parameters.

    4. Click Next to proceed to the validation page.

    Note The system does not support changing the Data Source Type, therefore you must select the relevant type: CAC or non-CAC, before activation.

    Note Before reactivating the CMS data source, click Edit Settings and enter the Username and Password.

ClosedConnect to CMS on a Secured Connection

  1. Export the CMS SSL certificate to a file. For details, see the CMS Hardening Guide available in the HPE Software Support Online web site (https://softwaresupport.hp.com/group/softwaresupport/home).

  2. If you have selected CAC, perform this step, otherwise go to the next step.

    To reveal the CMS certificate to Data Warehouse, import the SSL certificate trusted by the CMS server into the JDK key store using a tool provided by the JDK called keytool.exe by running the command :

    $HPBA_Home/dk/jre/bin/keytool -importcert -alias <alias> -file <file> -keystore
    %HPBA_Home%/jdk/jre/lib/security\cacerts -trustcacerts

    Note The default password for JVM keystore is a 'changeit'. If this password wasn't changed before, use the default keystore password for certificate import.

  3. Restart the ITBA server.

  4. Select Is secured in the activation parameters page.

    Is secured unchecked with NON CAC still works.

  5. Change the port to a secured port. Default port is 8080. Secured default port is 8443, CAC default port is 8444.
