Getting started

This chapter uses a simple scenario as an example of how to get started with PPM Customizing Toolkit.

Scenario

You want to create a new client without being able to use a similar, existing client configuration. The data to be extracted is available in a JDBC data source. Processes are to be merged by simple sorting of the process fragments.

Procedure

  1. Step 1 shows how to use a template to create a client and set the client properties.
  2. Step 2 shows how to configure the source system data by specifying the data sources and configuration files and setting the corresponding access parameters for your data source.
  3. Step 3 shows how to use additional applications to configure and manage your PPM client.
  4. Step 4 shows how to automatically create documentation for your PPM client.

You can then configure your new client for your PPM system in detail and extract the desired data from your source system for further analysis in PPM.
