Configuring SCM for CA Vision Integration

Configuring the SCM CA Vision integration involves:

Specifying parameters that instruct the broker to start the Synch server at regular intervals.
Specifying parameters that allow the Synch server to access the CA Vision Web Server.

See the Implementation Guide for details on configuring the CA Harvest SCM Broker and Server for CA Vision Integration.

The Synch Server is a CA Harvest SCM HServer that performs CA Vision synchronizing operations as follows:

The Broker starts the Synch Server at the specified interval.
The Synch Server obtains new objects from the CA Vision Server and posts any outbound records to the server as required.
After the synchronizing operations are complete, the Synch Server process terminates.

Note: The Synch Server is a unique HServer that only performs these CA Vision-related operations. The server does not service regular CA Harvest SCM transactions. Consequently, it does not waste resources for extended periods of time while it is idle.

Important! All the operations documented in this section are only available to CA Harvest SCM Users that are added to a special User Group, CA Vision Admin. Users that are not in this User Group cannot view these menu options in the Workbench.
