Configuring Dimensions CM to use SDA

To use SDA instead of Dimensions Deployment, the default CM deployment model, modify the CM configuration file.

NOTE  If you do a clean install of Dimensions CM with SDA the steps described below are performed automatically by the installer.

  1. Open the CM configuration file:

    2. %DM_ROOT%/dm.cfg

  2. Add these variables:

    3. Specifies the URL of the SDA server, for example:

    DM_SDA_URL %DM_WEB_URL%/serena_ra

    TIP: Multiple Dimensions CM servers can use the same SDA server.

    Specifies a Dimensions CM user ID that will be used by SDA to notify CM about the success or failure of automation executions. For example:

    DM_SDA_NOTIFY_TO_USER notifyusr

  3. Save the file.

  4. Register the notification user account password in registry.dat specifying DM_SDA_NOTIFY_TO_USER (not a real user ID) as the first parameter:

    5. dmpasswd DM_SDA_NOTIFY_TO_USER -add -pwd <password>

  5. Restart the CM Listener.
