Set Up a CA APM MDR Provider

You can set up an MDR to be the CA APM provider.

Follow these steps:

1. On the Administration tab, click CA CMDB, MDR Management, MDR List.
2. Click Create New to specify the CA APM MDR.

   The MDR Provider definition appears.

3. Enter the following required MDR provider information:
   • Button Name—Specify APM or any other valid button name. We recommend using a Button Name of APM.
   • MDR Name—Specify APM for CA Asset Portfolio Management r11.3.4 or ITAM for CA APM r12.6
   • MDR Class—Specify GLOBAL.
   • Hostname—Specifies the CA APM server name by using the network address or the DNS name of the CA APM web server.
   • URL for Launch in Context—Specifies http://{hostname}:{port}/{path}?{parameters} and must not be changed.

   The MDR provider form automatically populates the path and parameter values with the required CA APM launch in context information.

4. Click Save.

   The CA APM MDR provider is set up.
