Configuring the ADM Database Synchronization

After installing the external ADM SQL database, you must configure the synchronization of the ADM data
from the main database to external database.
Instructions for configuring the synchronization are provided in the VMware vCenter Application Discovery
Manager: Repository Reference Guide. Follow the instructions for configuring the synchronization.
The synchronization process uses FTP to send data from the main ADM database to the external database.
When creating your synchronization schedule, be sure the synchronization is set to be regular enough to
keep the external data current enough so that it is of use to VCM users.

Preparing the Client Browsers

In order to view the ADM maps, Internet Explorer and Java must be installed on any VCM machines using
the integration with the ADM Console. The requirements include:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, available from the
n
Java Runtime Environment, version 5.0.3 or later, available from the
n

Creating Users for Integration

Any user who will be accessing the ADM data must have an ADM user name and password. In ADM, you
must create user accounts and distribute the login information to all VCM users who will be accessing the
ADM data. A user login is required at the beginning of each session when a user accesses the ADM details
or ADM maps.
