Follow this procedure to determine the use of requests in Dimensions CM clients. You can choose to use:
Dimensions CM internal requests
No requests at all
An external request provider (IDM tool instance).
In order to use an external request provider, you need to:
Create an IDM tool Instance. See Creating an IDM Tool Instance.
Set this IDM tool instance as the Default. (See below.)
NOTE
If you change the default IDM tool instance or provider, user’s working lists and project default requests will be cleared.
When changing the default IDM tool instance or provider, you should make sure that no clients are connected to the server when the change is being made.
