Designating the Details for Each RFC Provider

You should give the connection details for each RFC provider in separate properties file for each instance. This keeps the details separate from the selection, and helps with maintenance and security.

To designate details for each RFC provider:

  1. Navigate to the Serena Release Manager common Tomcat Web server classes folder. For example:

    C:\Program Files\Serena\common\tomcat\6.0\webapps\rlm\WEB-INF\classes

  2. Open one of your provider properties files. For example:

  3. The details are unique for each properties file, and variables and parameters are defined in the implementation for the provider. See the example following this procedure.

  4. After updating the provider properties files, restart the Serena common Tomcat service.

Example

Set the SSM provider details for RFCs. This example sets the values needed to retrieve requests for change from the SSM sample database.
