Chance to win $250 in Petri 2023 Audience Survey
As you may remember, we covered the procedure of creating a connector to Configuration Manager 2007 in an earlier post by Peter De Tender. Today we will update the instructions as we look to establish the connection from Service Manager 2012 with Configuration Manager 2012 (RTM, SP1 and R2).
The only step we need to take is to create a new Configuration Manager Connector, which will also require us to create a new Run As profile for use by the connector.
Working from the Administration view, we will expand and select the Connectors tree branch, to be presented with any currently registered connectors in the environment. From the Actions pane, we can then select the option Create connector and select System Center Configuration Manager. This will launch the connector wizard.
Make sure that the System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Connector Configuration pack is selected.
On the Database page, we will need to provide the following:
– The Database Server Name, which should be the fully qualified name of the SQL instance that hosts the primary (or central, if deployed) database. Note: If you have multiple independent SCCM installations that need to be synchronized into SCSM, then you will need to establish a connector for each respectively.
– The Database Name, which will by default something as simple as CM_[SiteCode].
As soon as the connected is created, it will automatically begin an initial synchronization job to import all the objects from Configuration Manager 2012 into Service Manager as configuration items.
It’s as simple as that!
