To be able to work with PPM you must create at least one client after the installation by means of PPM Customizing Toolkit (CTK).
Using clients, you can configure and manage your PPM projects. A client provides you with all the configuration files and applications required to extract data from your source system and configure it for further processing. The prepared client-specific data is saved in a dedicated PPM repository, where it is available to PPM for analysis under the same client name.
A client is made up of the following elements.
Procedure under Windows
The CTK start page with the client overview is displayed.
The wizard guides you through the individual steps.
After creating a client, an individual link for each client is available in the program folders Software AG > Start Servers > Start PPM instances and Software AG > Stop Servers > Stop PPM instances. Use the links Start <client> and Stop <client> to start or stop client and analysis servers independently of CTK. <client> indicates the client name.
