Retrieve Information from UCMDB

To retrieve information from UCMDB, set up a fetch task using the following procedure. The connector runs fetch tasks automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

  1. Stop the connector.
  2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.

  3. In the [FetchTasks] section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the Number parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type Number=1. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the Number parameter by one (1). Below the Number parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

    [FetchTasks]
Number=1
0=MyTask

  4. Below the [FetchTasks] section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

    [FetchTasks]
Number=1
0=MyTask

[MyTask]

  1. Set the following configuration parameters:

    UcmdbHost The host name or IP address of the UCMDB server.
    UcmdbPort The port of the UCMDB server.
    Username The user to authenticate as.
    Password The password for the user specified by Username.
  2. For information about the parameters you can use to select content, see Connector Configuration Parameters.
  3. Save and close the configuration file.
