In an related post, we covered the procedure of creating a connector to Configuration Manager 2012. As we continue to enable our Configuration Management Database (CMDB), we will add the steps to establish the connection from Service Manager 2012 with Operations Manager 2012 (RTM, SP1 and R2). Unlike the previous connectors, Service Manager now contains less than two different connectors for Operations Manager: configuration items and alerts.
The configuration items (CIs) connector for Operations Manager enables the importing of information including baseboard management, websites, SQL databases, and of more interest initially, Distributed Application information as CIs in Service Manager CMDB.

The only step we need to take is to create a new Operations Manager Configuration Items Connector, which will also require us to create a new Run As profile for use by the connector. The account that we define in the profile will need to be a member of the Operations Manager Administrators role.
As soon as the connected is created, it will automatically begin an initial synchronization job to import all the objects from Operations Manager 2012 into Service Manager as configuration items.
Once the MPs are imported in Service Manager, we can update the Operations Manager CI Connector.

Now, we can proceed to create our distributed applications, which once imported and synchronized will be presented in Service Manager as Business Services.
