Configure ChangeMan ZMF

For ALM Solutions Connector to work, you need to configure ChangeMan ZMF.

In this topic:

Add required startup parameters

To enable access to ALM Solutions Connector services, update the ChangeMan ZMF server with startup parameters.

These parameters are keyword options used with the SERNET started task. You can pass the parameters to SERNET in different ways. For details on setting SERNET parameters, see the ChangeMan ZMF documentation.

To set the startup parameters:

• Add the CMN=(,XXXX) parameter to the ChangeMan ZMF startup, where XXXX is the SERNET TCP/IP port that processes SERNET requests.

• Add the SERNET NTFYURL parameter. This parameter is required for notifying your integration when an ALF event is emitted from ChangeMan ZMF, which indicates that ChangeMan ZMF has completed a requested task. Specify the parameter as follows:

  NTFYURL='<connectorHostName>:<port>/da/services/ZMFALFEventRouter'

  where:

  • <connectorHostName> is the server name where your ALM Solutions Connector services are installed.
  • <port> is the port number for ALM Solutions Connector server.

  Note: The NTFYURL parameter is case-sensitive. Enter the non-variable text exactly as displayed, and make sure to include single quotation marks around the variable string.

• To enable the changes, restart ChangeMan ZMF. Then verify that the CMN port has been started in the SERPRINT listing data set.
