Configure Integration with Enterprise View

To enable the Enterprise View/UCMDB Integration, you must first install Enterprise View (EV) and BusinessObjects. Once these are installed, you must perform the following procedures:

Deploy a Universe for Integrating the UCMDB Browser module into BusinessObjects

  1. Verify that an EnterpriseView Universe exists with the correct description.

    1. Open the Central Management Console (go to Programs > Business Objects XI 3.1 > Business Objects Enterprise > BusinessObjects Enterprise Central Management Console, or in a web browser, go to the URL: http://<CMS host>:<CMS HTTP port>/ CmcApp).
    2. Log in with the user name and password that you defined in BusinessObjects installation.
    3. Go to Universes.
    4. Open the folder EnterpriseView Universe, and check that EnterpriseView Universe is there and that version 0.52 appears in the Description field.
  2. Back up Existing Universe

    1. Right-click on the universe EnterpriseView Universe and go to Organize > Move To.
    2. Choose the root folder Universes and click the right arrow to move the folder to the Destinations column.
    3. Click Move.
    4. Exit the Central Management Console and create a new file system folder.
    5. Copy the files export.properties and export.bat from the folder ImportExportEVUniverse located in the CMS UI content folder into the folder you created in the previous step.
    6. In the file export.properties in the folder you just created, change the following parameters to the correct username, password, host name, and port of the host where the BusinessObjects application is installed:

      • userName=<BO_user_name>

      • password=<BO_password>

      • CMS=<host_name>:<port>

    7. Run export.bat from the newly created folder where you copied export.properties.

    Note If you export from the original ImportExportEVUniverse, the universe you export overwrites the original file that contains the EV Universe for the UCMDB Browser module integration.

  3. Import the Universe for Integration with the UCMDB Browser module

    1. Open the folder ImportExportEVUniverse and in the file import.properties, change the following parameters to the correct username, password, host name, and port of the host where the BusinessObjects application is installed:

      • userName=<BO_user_name>

      • password=<BO_password>

      • CMS=<host_name>:<port>

    2. From the same folder (ImportExportEVUniverse), run import.bat.
    3. In the CMS console, ensure that EnterpriseView Universe is still situated under the root folder Universes, and that the description field has changed to version 0.52 a.

    4. Move the universe back to the folder EnterpriseView Universe (right-click the imported universe, select Organize > Move To and select the EnterpriseView Universe folder).

  4. Change the Database Connection for the Newly Imported Universe

    1. On the machine where the BusinessObjects application is installed, go to Programs > Business Objects XI 3.1 > Business Objects Enterprise > Designer.
    2. Skip the Quick Design window.
    3. Go to File > Import.
    4. Select the folder EnterpriseView Universe and choose the universe EnterpriseView_Universe.
    5. Go to Tools > Connections.
    6. Select EnterpriseView Connection and click Edit.
    7. In the Edit dialog box, enter the details of the Oracle EnterpriseView user.
    8. Click Next and enter the following for the Configuration Parameters:

      • Pool timeout = 10 minutes

      • Array fetch size = 1

      • Array Bind size = 5

      • Login timeout = 600 minutes

    9. Click Save.
    10. Go to File > Export, select the EnterpriseView Universe folder, and click OK.

Deploy a Report Designed for UCMDB Browser module Integration into BusinessObjects

  1. On the machine where the BusinessObjects application is installed, go to Programs > Business Objects XI 3.1 > Business Objects Enterprise > Web Intelligence Rich Client.
  2. Select File > Open, and open the file UCMDB_Browser_Integration.wid, located in the CMS UI content folder.
  3. Select File > Export to CMS, and in the folders list, select EnterpriseView Reports.
  4. Click OK.
