Enabling Configuration Management

To enable Configuration Management (CM) capabilities in the IBM Internet of Things (IoT) Continuous Engineering Solution and the IBM Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management, you must obtain an activation key from IBM Support. To configure IBM Quick Deployer so that the applications that it installs are CM-enabled, edit the Prepare System step of the Install Applications process.

Enabling Configuration Management capabilities

1. Login to the target UCD server as an administrator.
2. Click Applications, then select the Quick Deployer application.
   
   
   
   
3. Click Processes, then select the Install Applications process.
   
   
   
   
4. On the process Design tab open the Prepare System step by clicking on the pencil icon.
   
   
   
   
5. Select True in the EnableCM field.
6. Enter the activation key that you receive from IBM Support in the CMActivationKey field.
7. Click OK to close the Edit Properties window.
8. Click the Save process icon to save your changes.
