How is someone with multiple AR Servers supposed to load balance these functions? Also, assuming that anyone using a load balancer expects the AR Servers to not be directly routable (ie, they are in a secure firewalled area) how is somone supposed to use this feature? I haven't seen that covered anywhere. In short, putting an additional web server in the Atrium install location seems like a short-sighted move on BMC's part. Our initial short-term solution is to just not bother using any of these features because the hassle needed to deal with the security concerns just isn't worth it.

I have been meaning to ask about the Atrium Core Web Services myself and then I saw Kali's post. We installed it on our POC system but it was taxing the little vm too much so I removed it. Can you clarify, the Atrium Core Web Service do not only provide CMDB data to other apps but can also bring in data from system's that can feed into the CMDB? Somewhere I got the impression that the Atrium web services were only one way, exposing data stored in the CMDB.

Probably was an internal person asking on an internal forum for a customer (perhaps the one that posted here...) Here's the answer: The Atrium Core Web Services and the Web Services provided by AR are not the same features and they do not serve the same purpose. AR provides a way to expose and manage a form through Web Services. That enables AR applications to provide access and control to their forms through Web Services. AR uses Axis. AR web services can be registered if the Atrium Core UDDI registry is installed and its information are configured into AR. The Atrium Core web Services are based on Axis II version 1.5.xx - the Atrium Core Web Services expose all (or almost all) the public APIs available from Atrium Core. That covers Reconciliation Engine, Normalization Engine, CMDB Server (CI and Relationship CRUD, Class manager, Graph query and CI search ...) APIs. There are some additional APIs that are available through Web Services, but not the Atrium Core APIs: "Impacted Services" for instance. -David J.
