Note :

If you get an error, you can check the arjavaplugin.log, which is the standard AR java plug-in log. Otherwise, you can also generate a log file to check the details if you get an error. For more information, see Working with logs.

  1. In the Centralized configuration form, select com.bmc.arsys.smartit > *.
  2. Set the enableSbeIntegration parameter to true.
  3. Set the dwp.base.url parameter with dwp URL  (This setting has been removed from 22.1 version) https://docs.bmc.com/docs/smartit221/22-1-enhancements-and-patches-1053741810.html#id-22.1enhancementsandpatches-221enhancements
  4. **NOTE**
    enableDWPWidgetIntegration enables dwp widget in smartit. Which is a new feature in
    20.08
  5. Login DWP Admin console.
    Select Configuration - > Embed Digital Workplace
    Set Smartit domain name (Customer_name-smartit.onbmc.com) and save it

    NOTE:
    Since version 25.1, domain name is appended with IS url as well. In case that if smart it is created earlier without https then error would be generated -customername-dwp.onbmc.com refused to connect

    So, update the url with https like below
    https://customername-smartit.onbmc.com,https://customername-is.onbmc.com

  6. Under CCS select arsystem.bmc.arsys.midtier
    Enter DWP URL in setting name arsystem.security_iframe_allowfromurls
    Eg. 
    arsystem.security_iframe_allowfromurls : (DWP base URL)
Once Configuration is complete -> login to Smartit and check if we are able to View / Raise DWP Catalog requests from smartit Smart Recorder.
