Configuring service connectors

You must configure the connection with any BMC Digital Workplace Catalog connector before you can use it for building workflows.

By default, the workflow designer includes available connector elements that you can use to build workflows. You can create multiple connections with connectors of the same type.

This topic describes how to create new connections and configure a connection for supported connectors.

Before you begin

To configure a connector

  1. Log in to BMC Digital Workplace Catalog as a catalog administrator.
  2. Navigate to Services > Connectors.
  3. To create a connection, click New Connection.
  4. In the Connection Name field, type a unique name.

  5. From the Connector list, select a connector with which you want to establish the connection, and click Save.

    Note

    The list of connectors includes the following connectors:

    • All connectors shipped with BMC Digital Workplace Catalog
    • All connectors enabled in BMC Helix Integration Service—only if the connection to BMC Helix Integration Service is configured

    The connection is saved, but is not configured. 

  6. Select the saved connector, and click Actions > Open.

  7. Complete the configuration details, and click Save.

    Note

Where to go from here

After you create or delete connections that use the Remedy connector or the CMDB connector, verify or set the default connections for ITSM functionality, as described in To set the default connections for ITSM functionality.

After you add connections, you can use them in a workflow, as described in Workflows-for-service-fulfillment.
