I agree that RKM should be on its own machine.  I would look to go with 7.2 
(which is supported against AR 6) or even 7.5 which isn't necessarily supported 
but you are custom environment anyway.  The 7.2 guide even walks through a 
custom integration.

I would suggest putting it on a different server entirely
because we ran into some API issues trying to install it on the same server as
the Mid Tier.  It looks like you are using your application server, so you
may not have conflicting versions of Tomcat, but there is still a potential
somewhere for some sort of conflict.  Also, whether you like it or not,
the application is web-based.  RKM has literally nothing to do with Remedy
aside from some minor integrations, so it won’t be like dealing with
another Remedy app.  It’s dealing with a another third party app
that can be integrated with Remedy to populate it’s users and groups,
populate the dropdowns from the Product Catalog and such, and you can integrate
from Remedy apps to be able to display RKM in View Fields.  You should
look through the steps to integrating it with Incident Management, because you
could leverage some of that workflow to integrate it with your custom apps. 
The only other thing to keep in mind is to be current on all patches, and hope
for the best.  If all doesn’t go well (I’ve never had an
install without some issues), Carrie at BMC is a wizard at supporting the
product.

Hi
All  TGIF, 





  





I
am planning on installing Knowledge Management 7.1 and am looking for any
helpful hints, or issues that I might encounter. Currently I am running ARS 6.3
patch 20, Oracle 9.2 on SunOS 5.9 and all forms are custom made. Current plan
is not to use the web interface, just the RUT. Integration with my custom forms
will likely be a challenge but other than that it appears straightforward.  





  





Sounds
too good to be true, what am I missing? 





  





One
question that immediately come to mind is the installation directory. The
Installation Guide say the default location is /usr/local/RemedyKM7. Is it ok
if the AR Server is in another directory (/remedy/ar63/) or do they need to be
together? 







Thanks and have a great weekend.

Mark,

In addition to Shawn's comments, I will also add that in addition to
patches, you need to be on the latest version of the Hummingbird DB that
RKM uses. I believe the latest patch includes that but if not, BMC
support will not go any further if you are on an older version.

Re: Knowledge Management Install

2011-01-10 Thread Pierson, Shawn
When I installed the latest RKM patch (or was it the one before it?), it did 
include the Hummingbird install as a part of applying it.  I seem to recall 
having issues about getting the correct license or something, but that may have 
been an earlier version of it.  Also, I seem to recall that in my environment I 
had to get a special rkm war file that addressed some issues I encountered, 
even after applying the latest patch.  That may not be an issue for most 
people, but we're using multi-tenancy and I've had to customize the results 
lists and some of the other things in the config file for RKM.

conflicting versions of Tomcat, but there is still a potential somewhere for 
some sort of conflict.  Also, whether you like it or not, the application is 
web-based.  RKM has literally nothing to do with Remedy aside from some minor 
integrations, so it won’t be like dealing with another Remedy app.  It’s 
dealing with a another third party app that can be integrated with Remedy to 
populate it’s users and groups, populate the dropdowns from the Product Catalog 
and such, and you can integrate from Remedy apps to be able to display RKM in 
View Fields.  You should look through the steps to integrating it with Incident 
Management, because you could leverage some of that workflow to integrate it 
with your custom apps.  The only other thing to keep in mind is to be current 
on all patches, and hope for the best.  If all doesn’t go well (I’ve never had 
an install without some issues), Carrie at BMC is a wizard at supporting the 
product.

 

Thanks,

Hi All  TGIF,

 

I am planning on installing Knowledge Management 7.1 and am looking for any 
helpful hints, or issues that I might encounter. Currently I am running ARS 6.3 
patch 20, Oracle 9.2 on SunOS 5.9 and all forms are custom made. Current plan 
is not to use the web interface, just the RUT. Integration with my custom forms 
will likely be a challenge but other than that it appears straightforward. 

 

Sounds too good to be true, what am I missing?

 

One question that immediately come to mind is the installation directory. The 
Installation Guide say the default location is /usr/local/RemedyKM7. Is it ok 
if the AR Server is in another directory (/remedy/ar63/) or do they need to be 
together?


Thanks and have a great weekend.

 

Mark
