You can create, view, and edit an MDR definition. The MDR Definition page provides the following settings:
Identifies the tenant owner of this MDR (if multi-tenancy is installed).
Defines the MDR button label that appears on the CI Detail page. This name is unique for each MDR. Required for “launch in context” and for CMDBf Viewer.
Specifies the data that is sent in the mdr_name field in XML. While this string can be anything that the MDR chooses to send to CA CMDB, typically it is the hostname of the source. This name together with the mdr_class create a unique name for the MDR. Note: CA APM MDRs must specify an MDR name of APM and MDR class of GLOBAL. Required for “launch in context", CMDBf Viewer and GRLoader.
Specifies the data that is sent in the mdr_class field in the XML. While this name can be anything, it must together with the mdr_name field create a unique identifier for the MDR. Global MDRs are defined with an MDR Class of “GLOBAL”. Note: Cohesion MDRs must specify an MDR class of COHESION, which automatically sets the Path, Parameters and "URL to be Launched" fields to the required Cohesion launch-in-context values. CA APM MDRs must specify an MDR class of "GLOBAL", which automatically sets the Path, Parameters and "URL to be Launched" fields to the required CA APM launch-in-context values. Required for CMDBf Viewer. CMDBf Endpoint sets to "cmdbf" for all federated MDRs.
Denotes this MDR definition as active or inactive. Inactive MDR definitions are logically deleted, but they can be made active again by using the Search utility.
The contact responsible for this MDR.
A freeform text field.
The host name, DNS name or IP address of the host, which contains the web server which hosts the web page that is launched. Required for “launch in context”.
The TCP/IP port used by the MDR web server to serve up web pages. Port 8080 is the default. Required for “launch in context”.
The portion of the URL that precedes the question mark (?) character. This information can be obtained from the MDR documentation. For mdr_class of Cohesion, the value is set automatically to CAisd/html/cmdb_cohesion.html and cannot be changed. For mdr_name of UAPM and mdr_class of GLOBAL, the value is set automatically to apm/frmObject.aspx and cannot be changed.
The portion of the URL that follows the question mark (?) character. This information can be obtained from the MDR documentation. For mdr_class of Cohesion, the value is set automatically to hostname={hostname}+port={port}+family={family}+name={name}+secret={password}+federated_asset_id={federated_asset_id} and cannot be changed. For mdr_name of UAPM and mdr_class of GLOBAL, the value is set automatically to ObjectID={cmdb_asset_id}&obj=11&FUNCTION=1&WinID=OBFRASSET{cmdb_asset_id}&WinContainerID= and cannot be changed.
The user ID to logon to the MDR (if necessary). This value is substituted into the URL wherever {userid} is found.
Specifies information that is shared between CA CMDB and the MDR. This value is substituted into the URL wherever {password} is found. For Cohesion MDRs, the value must match the value of the “com.cendura.security.oneclickauth.secret”. For more information about creating a shared secret, see "Integrating with CA CMDB" in the CA Cohesion ACM Implementation Guide. Required for CMDBf Viewer.
Specifies the MDR namespace that is passed to the query by CMDBf Viewer. If you use CA CMDB as an MDR provider, the value is "http://cmdb.ca.com/r1". For external MDRs, consult the MDR documentation. Required if MDR Class is cmdbf.
(Optional) Specifies time limit for CMDBf endpoint query. Default is ten (10) seconds. Only applies when MDR Class is cmdbf.
Default value of http://{hostname}:{port}/{path}?{parameters}. For some MDRs, it can be overridden if necessary to accommodate MDR-specific requirements. Required for "launch in context".
For mdr_name of UAPM and mdr_class of GLOBAL, the value is http://{hostname}:{port}/{path}?{parameters}
For mdr_class of Cohesion the default value is:
http://cmdb_hostname:cmdb_port/{path}?{parameters}
where:
cmdb_hostname is the host name, DNS name or IP address of the CA CMDB web server. Defaults to the current hostname that is currently accessing the CA CMDB web server.
cmdb_port is the TCP/IP port of the CMDB web server. Defaults to the current port number used to access the CA CMDB web server.
Note: If you have enabled SSL support for Cohesion, set the URL to:
http://hostname:port/{path}?{parameters}+https=yes
For information about enabling CA Cohesion ACM HTTPS support, see the Cohesion online help topic Creating the HTTPS Certificate and Enabling HTTPS.
Specifies the MDR Query Service endpoint for CMDBf Viewer. Required if MDR Class is cmdbf.
