2. Apply patches and updates
3. Install extensions
4. Restart the Mid Tier
5. Perform feature-specifc confguration
6. Access the BMC Atrium Core user console:

Confguring multiple instances of BMC Atrium Integration Engine
enables your data transfers to use AR System threads more efciently.
Installing BMC Atrium Web Services components on a separate
computer can reduce CPU load for heavy web services trafc scenarios.
Installing all BMC Atrium Core features on a single computer is only
recommended for very small, or non-production environments.
