Coordinate the Client Connection to the Database with CA RCM Server

When your implementation includes a CA RCM server, configure your client applications to coordinate database interactions with CA RCM server. This coordination helps ensure data synchronization between the client and server interfaces.

To coordinate the client connection to the database with CA RCM server

1. Verify that the database server and CA RCM server are running.
2. Run the Data Management application.

   The Enter Server Credentials dialog appears.

3. Click Cancel. Then click File, General Settings from the main menu.

   The Data Management Settings dialog appears.

4. Click the SQL Connectivity tab.
5. Select the Request SQL Credentials from a Server option.
6. Complete the address of the CA RCM server URL, and click Apply.

   The Enter Server Credentials dialog appears.

7. In the SQL Server area, specify the user name and password defined for the CA RCM database on the database server.
8. In the Web Server area, specify the user name and password of an administrator account on the CA RCM portal.
9. Click OK.

   A message confirming SQL connectivity appears after a while. Changes you make to databases using the client tools are synchronized with the CA RCM portal.

10. Close the dialog.
11. Repeat this procedure in the DNA application.

    The client applications are configured and ready for use.
