Configuring for the Context Menu Service and Data Integration Service

If you want to use the Context Menu Service (CMS) and Data Integration Service (DIS) to enable cross-product launch points, you can connect to an existing DIS database used by other Tivoli® or IBM® products, or if one does not already exist, configure the TADDM database for CMS and DIS.

CMS and DIS support flexible cross-product launch points by storing information about available launch points in a database. By using this approach, a product can provide a launch capability for any other product that has registered launch points in the database, without having to implement product-specific launch functions. TADDM can use CMS and DIS to register TADDM launch points for use by other products such as CCMDB or IBM SmartCloud Control Desk.

You can configure CMS and DIS in either one of the following two ways:

Configure TADDM to connect to an existing CMS/DIS database already used by other Tivoli or IBM products.
Configure the TADDM database for CMS and DIS. In this situation, other Tivoli or IBM products in the enterprise using CMS and DIS can connect to this CMS/DIS database.

You must not set up more than one CMS/DIS database within a Tivoli enterprise.

About this task

You can optionally specify that the CMS/DIS configuration be completed automatically during the TADDM installation process. Follow these steps if you need to manually configure the CMS/DIS database after installation.

Note: To avoid delays in registering configuration items in the database, install the CMS/DIS database on a server that is geographically close to the TADDM database server.
