Configuring BMC Batch Impact Manager

BMC Batch Impact Manager is provided with bim_ssl.ear or bim_ssl.war files, which are configured with a default SSL certificate.

To deploy the BMC Batch Impact Manager web client using the default SSL certificate, start with step of the following procedure.

Start with step 1 of the following procedure only when:

• the system uses SSL protocol and there is a need for replacing keys or passwords
• deploying to any web server that uses the SSL protocol and the IBM JDK (for example, most WebSphere configurations)

  Unlike regular bim.ear and bim.war files, the bim_ssl.ear and bim_ssl.war files can only be used to communicate with an SSL-enabled Control-M/EM installation.

To configure BMC Batch Impact Manager:

1. To configure the BMC Batch Impact Manager Web Application for use with customized SSL key, password or IBM JDK, run the configmanager utility:
   1. Navigate to the BMC Batch Impact Manager root directory:
      • UNIX: cd <Control-M/EM_directory>/APPL/BIM/WEBAPP
      • Windows: cd <Control-M/EM_directory>\bim

   All paths for the computers to which you deploy must be absolute paths (not relative). Use the slash (/) instead of the backslash (\) when specifying paths, because this symbol works on all platforms.

   1. Run the utility:
      
      (UNIX) sh bim_configmanager.sh <arguments>
      (Windows) bim_configmanager.bat <arguments>
      
      A list of arguments is provided in the following table. Examples are provided below.

   Arguments for the configmanager utility

   Argument	Description and values
   -SSLJSSEplatform <SUN|IBM>	Platform of the JDK. Mandatory. Valid values: SUN: Default IBM: For web servers such as WebSphere
   -SSLkeystorepassword <password>	Password for opening the keystore. Optional.
   SSLkeystorepasswordencryption <on|off>	Encryption mode for the password. Optional. Valid values are: on: Password is encrypted. off: Password is not encrypted. Default.
   -SSLkeystorepath<fullPath>	Full path to new keystore. Optional.
   -nshost<hostName>	Naming service host. Optional.
   -nsport<portName>	Naming service port. Optional.
   -pathtobim<fullPath>	Full path to the BMC Batch Impact Manager Web Application installation directory. Mandatory. Valid values are: Windows: <Control-M/EM_directory>\bim\webapp UNIX: <Control-M/EM_directory>/etc/bim/webapp
   -v	Verbose output

   If the SSL arguments are not included when running the utility, the SSL deployment files will not be created.

2. When the utility finishes, use the newly-created bim_ssl.ear and bim_ssl.war files to deploy.
3. Follow the instructions provided with your web application server.

   The Web Application installation and deployment is now complete.
