About CA CMDB

12 Integration for CA CMDB Guide

About CA CMDB
A Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is part of a Configuration Management
System (CMS). The CMDB helps other processes become more effective and efficient by
providing a consistent set of managed information regarding Configuration Items (CIs) in
the environment. Multiple sources can provide information about CIs. CMDB enables
the source applications to share a common service context thus enabling greater
coordination across technical teams. For example, service desk technicians and
operations engineering teams can collaborate on root cause analysis by sharing service
definition and configuration across CA Service Desk and CA SPECTRUM.
One of the reasons for implementing CA CMDB is to aid the Change Management team
understand the impact of a pending change before actually changing. From an Incident
Management perspective, understanding what HAS changed can also speed up the
troubleshooting process. Understanding which CIs actually link to services in the
environment is critical to managing the true impact of an outage or change in the
environment.
Integration Solution for CA CMDB
CA CMDB is an advanced tool for managing enterprise IT components and services and
their relationships. CA CMDB makes it possible to provide and store reliable, up-to-date
details on assets and their relationships with each other. These relationships form the
basis for impact analysis, an important tool for managing change within an organization.
The USM provides key insights so that appropriate actions can be taken either
automatically or by the IT staff.
The CA APM integration is used with the following products:
The CA CEM-CA CMDB Integration
Enables you to integrate CA CEM business service and related transaction
definitions in CA USM, providing visibility into relationships and dependencies
across the enterprise process infrastructure. It incorporates its domain expertise for
measuring and managing enterprise transaction performance.
The CA Introscope-CA CMDB Integration
Enables you to integrate application objects that CA Introscope monitors in CA
USM, giving your staff visibility into relationships and dependencies across your
enterprise process infrastructure.
About CA CEM Integration for CA CMDB

Chapter 1: Introduction 13

About CA CEM Integration for CA CMDB
The CA CEM Integration for CA CMDB allows you to define and integrate CA CEM
objects into CA CMDB. These managed objects are known as Configuration Items (CIs) in
CA CMDB.
CA CEM monitors customer transactions to isolate the causes of problems in the data
center. CA CMDB is an enterprise IT database that provides full visibility into the
relationships between different components and processes in an IT infrastructure. The
integration between CA CEM and CA CMDB enables CA CEM to share its configuration
with the CA CMDB implementation. Configuration sharing allows the business services
and transactions to be visualized within the CA CMDB relative to other known
infrastructure configurations, thus aiding problem triage.
CA CMDB with CA CEM
The CA CEM Integration for CA CMDB is a tool for importing business services and
transactions from CA CEM into CA CMDB. The imported data is in the form of
configuration items with their relationships and dependencies. The Integration is
deployed as a Tomcat service and is configured using the Integration web user interface.
The CA CEM Integration for CA CMDB consists of these components:
Integration Configuration web interface
Apache Tomcat Integration Pack
The following diagram shows how the CA CEM Integration or CA CMDB works at a high
level:

The integration allows you to import CA CEM CIs (business services and business
transactions) into CA CMDB. The CIs are up-to-date in the CA CMDB repository, with all
relationships and dependencies. You can view these relationships and dependencies in a
graphical representation using the CA CMDB Visualizer. Within CA CMDB, you can use
the MDR Launcher to link back to a specific business service or business transaction in
the CA CEM console.

Chapter 3: Configuring the CA CEM Integration for CA CMDB 29

Configure the MDR Launcher
You can launch CA CEM from within the CA CMDB to link back to the CA CEM
configuration item in the CA CEM console using the MDR Launcher.
MDR Configuration Overview (see page 29)
MDR Launcher Overview (see page 29)
MDR Configuration Overview
Configuring the MDR Launcher includes the following steps:
1. Define the MDR provider.
2. Import CA CEM data to CA CMDB.
3. Verify that the CIs have been imported and that an associated MDR Launcher
button has been created for each CI.
MDR Launcher Overview
A Management Data Repository (MDR) provides data to CA CMDB. The MDR Launcher is
an open integration tool that enables you to view data from any MDR using a Web
browser from CA CMDB.
CA CMDB does not store all attributes for all CIs; it consolidates the most important
attributes that must be managed centrally. Attributes that are under the control of
change management are good candidates for inclusion in CA CMDB. Using the MDR
Launcher, you can access the attributes that are not managed by CA CMDB.
For the MDR Launcher to operate, CA CMDB must be able to construct a URL to start a
Web browser session with the source CA CEM.
When constructing a URL to launch an MDR, CA CMDB uses the following parameters
that are given by the MDR Launcher:
Hostname
Port
Configure the MDR Launcher

30 Integration for CA CMDB Guide

Path
Parameters
Password
When launching a CI-specific location, substitution occurs in the URL:
{hostname}
{federated_asset_id}
{port}
{user}
{password}
{mdr_name}
{mdr_class}
{class}
{family}
{path}

Chapter 6: Configuring the CA Introscope-CA CMDB Integration 49

Chapter 6: Configuring the CA
Introscope-CA CMDB Integration

This chapter provides instructions for configuring the CA Introscope-CA CMDB
Integration.
Important! Perform the tasks in the order that is listed here. You are required to switch
from CA CMDB to the Integration configuration user interface and then back to CA
CMDB.
This section contains the following topics:
Overview (see page 49)
Configure the MDR Launcher (see page 50)
Define a New MDR Launcher Data Provider (see page 50)
Launch the Configuration User Interface (see page 52)
Overview
The standard way to use this CA Introscope-CA CMDB Integration together with CA
CMDB is:
1. From within CA CMDB, define Enterprise Manager as a data provider for the MDR
launcher.
This enables it to generate a URL which can be later used to connect to the
Enterprise Manager. Configure the MDR Launcher (see page 50).
2. Launch the Integration configuration user interface and configure connection and
authentication properties for Enterprise Manager. Add A New Enterprise Manager
Host (see page 54).
3. Configure the Integration using the Configuration web interface Launch the
Integration Configuration User Interface (see page 52).
4. In the Integration configuration UI, run a data import that defines the Enterprise
Manager and the applications it monitors as CA CMDB Configuration Items. Import
CA Introscope Data (see page 56).
5. From within CA CMDB:
a. View Enterprise Manager Configuration Items (CIs).
b. Use MDR Launcher to launch a Java Web Start of Workstation to view each CI.
Configure the MDR Launcher

50 Integration for CA CMDB Guide

Configure the MDR Launcher
You can launch CA Introscope from within the CA CMDB to link back to the CA
Introscope configuration item in the CA Introscope console using the MDR Launcher.
MDR Launcher Overview
A Management Data Repository (MDR) is any system or system object that collects
information about Configuration Items. In the context of the CA Introscope-CA CMDB
Integration, an MDR represents the Enterprise Manager instance and all the objects that
belong to that instance, including:
The Enterprise Manager host.
The applications whose performance CA Introscope monitors, as long as they are
deployed on an application server
The hosts of those applications
These objects reports all the metrics.
The MDR Launcher allows you to view data from any MDR using a browser from CA
CMDB.
Note: CA CMDB does not import or display data from applications that are deployed on
a non-application server platform.
Use the MDR Launcher
CA CMDB does not store all attributes for all Configuration Items; it consolidates the
most important attributes that must be managed centrally. Attributes that are under
the control of change management are good candidates for inclusion in the CA CMDB.
Use the MDR Launcher to access attributes that are not managed by CA CMDB .
For more information about the MDR Launcher and the ways you can use it, see the CA
CMDB Administration Guide.
Define a New MDR Launcher Data Provider
In this task, you define an MDR data provider for each Enterprise Manager host that you
are importing data from.

Verify CA CEM integration
You can verify that the integration is running in several ways.
1. Verify that CA CEM is running.
2. Verify that CA CMDB is running.
3. Verify that the CA CEM Integration for CA CMDB is running. Restart the Tomcat
server if necessary.
4. Verify that the Apache Tomcat Integration Pack service is installed and started.
This service runs on the connection port that you provided during installation. (The
Apache Tomcat Integration Pack service is for Windows only)
5. Check the log files.
The installation log file is in the following location:
<IntegrationPack_Home>\CAAPM_CEM_CMDB_IntegrationPack_InstallLog.log
Location of <Integration_Home> in:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\CAWily\IntegrationPack\CA_APM_CEM_CMDB_IntegrationPack
UNIX:

6. Import Data from CA CEM into CA CMDB (see page 33). Verify that the CA CEM data
was imported and updated in CA CMDB.
After you have imported CA CEM data into CA CMDB, you can perform the
following steps.
7. Open CA CMDB and verify that CA CEM business services and transactions appear
Launch CA CMDB and Check for CA CEM Configuration Items (see page 34).
8. Open a CA CEM object CI in CA CMDB:

CA CEM CI (right side of the Attributes tab).
CA CEM object opens in the CA CEM console (you must log in to the console
first).
b. In the Configuration Item Detail window, click the Visualizer button (top right).
The Visualizer displays a graphical representation of the data objects and their
relationships.
CA CEM Symptoms and Solutions
Troubleshooting CA CEM integration:
Data transfer delayed.
If you have multiple CA CEM servers with many CIs, data transfer can be delayed
when you use Run Now to transfer data. Data transfer happens immediately for
only one of the CA CEM servers. Data transfer for the next CA CEM server starts
only when the data transfer for the first CA CEM server is finished. There could be a
large time gap. For example, for 2500 CIs, the time gap is 1 hour.
CA CEM objects do not appear in CA CMDB
You cannot create an MDR provider or the MDR name of the MDR provider is
incorrect. The service stops the data import when it fails to detect the associated
MDR provider. Check the MDR provider settings or add one and try it again. Define
a New MDR Launcher Data Provider (see page 31).
Also check the CMDB Configuration tab in the Integration Pack Configuration web
interface to see that the correct CA CMDB host name is specified. CA CMDB
Configuration (see page 28).
Deleted CA CEM objects reappear in CA CMDB.
If deleted objects are not used by any other MDR source, remove them from CA
CMDB.The same objects probably exist in another CA CEM source, which causes
their reappearance. Check the MDR Launcher configuration to see the name of the
CA CEM source. Define a New MDR Launcher Data Provider (see page 31).
