# Configuring the OpenText PPM Adapter Configuration File

Note: This procedure is optional. It establishes bidirectional integration. (See Introduction to Integrating OpenText PPM Requests with Service Manager Changes.) If you do not want to establish bidirectional integration at this time, proceed to Configure the server.conf parameter in OpenText PPM.

The OpenText PPM adapter configuration file is an XML file in OpenText PPM that enables integration of OpenText PPM with Service Manager and then converts OpenText PPM RFCs to Service Manager change updates. The configuration file consists of the following components, each with its own attributes or properties (see Figure 4-2):

- General settings for the adapter itself, such as its name.

- Connector between OpenText PPM and the adapter.

- Converter of RFCs in the OpenText PPM data model to change updates in the Service Manager data model. The converter calls the scripts that define the field mapping and filter functions.

- Sender, which sends the converted and filtered requests to Service Manager.

Note: If OpenText PPM is operating in a clustered server configuration, share or copy the `<PPM_Home>/sdi-persistency` directory and the `<PPM_Home>/conf/sdi` directory among all the servers in the cluster.

The following sections describe how to configure the OpenText PPM adapter configuration file and the scripts called by its converter, and how to modify copies of the provided files while preserving the originals.
