# Configure server.conf parameters in OpenText PPM

Note: For more information about the steps in this procedure, see the Installation and Administration Guide.

Add (if not present) and specify the parameters related to Universal CMDB integration for service portfolio to the OpenText PPM `server.conf` configuration file, as follows:

1. Stop the PPM Server.

2. Open the `<PPM_Home>/server.conf` file, add and configure the following parameters:

   All parameter names begin with `com.kintana.core.server.` but that is not shown in the table.

   Parameter | Description
   --- | ---
   SERVICE_LIST_SOURCE | Specifies the source of the list of available services: `uCMDB` to retrieve the list of services from Universal CMDB each time they are needed for OpenText PPM requests `lookup` to retrieve the list of services from OpenText PPM for OpenText PPM requests and project tasks For integration with Universal CMDB, enter `uCMDB.`
   SERVICE_LIST_UCMDB_CACHE_TIMEOUT | Length of time (in seconds) the service list remains in OpenText PPM cache before it is retrieved again, for example, `300.` For more information, see the Installation and Administration Guide.
   SERVICE_LIST_UCMDB_CI_MAPPINGS | Service list mappings between the following pairs of attributes: The name attribute for the Service List uCMDB autocomplete list in OpenText PPM, and the CI name attribute in Universal CMDB The description attribute for the Service List uCMDB autocomplete list in OpenText PPM, and the CI description attribute in Universal CMDB The mappings are formatted in pairs and separated by commas as follows (with no spaces or new lines):
       name:<uCMDB_CI_Name_Attribute>,
       description:<uCMDB_CI_Description_Attribute>
   For example, the value of this parameter could be:
       name:data_name,
       description:service_description
   This example maps name in OpenText PPM to the CI name attribute data_name in Universal CMDB, and it maps description in OpenText PPM to the CI description attribute service_description in Universal CMDB. Note: All items that are to be mapped must already exist in OpenText PPM or Universal CMDB.
   SERVICE_LIST_UCMDB_CI_TYPE | Name of the CI type used to store the service list, for example, `Service.`We recommend using the value `Service.` Note: You must create this CI type on the Universal CMDB server. For more information about creating a CI type, see the Universal CMDB documentation.
   SERVICE_LIST_UCMDB_MAX_CI_NUMBER | The maximum number of Universal CMDB configuration items allowed in the service list, for example `1000.` For more information, see the Installation and Administration Guide.
   UCMDB_SERVER_URL | URL of the Universal CMDB server:
       http://<UCMDB_Host>:<port>/ucmdb/
   or
       https://<UCMDB_Host>:<port>/ucmdb
   where `<UCMDB_Host>` represents the host machine on which Universal CMDB is running. For example: `http://<UCMDB URL FQDN>:8080/ucmdb/` Note: If the Universal CMDB server is configured to support HTTPS, make sure you configure the UCMDB_SSL_KEYSTORE_PATH parameter. For information about enabling HTTPS for Universal CMDB, see (Optional) Configure Universal CMDB to Support HTTPS for the Integration . You should also configure OpenText PPM to use HTTPS.
   UCMDB_SERVER_VERSION | Version of the UCMDB server, for example: `10`
   UCMDB_SSL_KEYSTORE_PATH | Universal CMDB keystore path, used only if the UCMDB_SERVER_URL parameter uses HTTPS.
   UCMDB_WS_MAX_CONNECTION_NUMBER | Maximum number of connections allowed to connect to the Universal CMDB server using the Web Service API, for example, `10.`
   UCMDB_WS_PASSWORD | Password for Universal CMDB user specified in UCMDB_WS_USER, logging in through Web service. You must encrypt this password by using the `kEncrypt.sh` script, which is located in the `bin` directory of the PPM Server.
   UCMDB_WS_USER | Universal CMDB user name for logging in through Web service, for example, `admin.` This user name must include only single-byte characters.
   UCMDB_GATEWAY_URL | URL of the Probe Gateway component of the Discovery and Dependency Mapping (DDM) Probe. The Probe Gateway provides communication (HTTP or HTTPS) between the Probe Manager and the Universal CMDB user for processes such as downloading tasks and returning task results. For example: `http://<UCMDB_Host>:<port>/mam/gateway?` The value for `<UCMDB_Host>:<port>` is usually the same as for the UCMDB_SERVER_URL parameter.

3. Run the kUpdateHtml.sh script to apply your changes. For details, see kUpdateHtml.sh.

4. Restart the PPM Server.
