After installing the VMware Ops Center PIM, perform the following steps to configure access to the host VMware Ops Center server:

# Click on the Applications tab
# Right-click on the name "sample" in the row labeled "vmware.vcops_pimA" and select "Modify"
# Fill in the items in the Modify Application Wizard dialog:
## Select the protocol used to access your VMware Ops Center server (http or https)
## Change the host name to the hostname or ip address that will resolve to your VMware Ops Center server
## Change the port to the port number of your VMware Ops Center server
# Click on the Integrations tab
# In the Explorer, under Packages, expand the vmware.vcops_pimA tree and click on the Sample target. Confirm that the information you entered is displayed for your VMware Ops Center server
# Under the Sample target, click on the Home channel. A login prompt should be displayed.
# Log in using the same credentials you would use for accessing the VMware Ops Center application in a browser. Confirm that the VMware Ops Center Home page is displayed.

==== Create Channels ====

After installing the VMware Ops Center PIM, and configuring access to the host VMware Ops Center server, perform the following steps to create channels to display VMware Ops Center content:

# Click on the Applications tab
# Right-click on the name "sample" in the row labeled "vmware.vcops_pimA" and select a channel type
# In the "Channel Name" box, enter the name you want to give to the new channel
# For "Channel Type", select "3rd Party Pims"

*There are currently not any known issues associated with this PIM

==== License Usage ====

In order for the AppBoard/enPortal administrator to configure the vmware.vcops_pimA PIM, the AppBoard/enPortal license.properties file must include licensing for at least one vmware.vcops_pimA server. The administrator can create one additional host ("target") in AppBoard/enPortal for each server license included in the license file.

Each AppBoard/enPortal user maintains one user session with the VMware Ops Center server. The VMware Ops Center application must be licensed to support the number of users that will be accessing the application through AppBoard/enPortal.

==== Version Support ====

The following matrix details the supported VMware Ops Center and compatible AppBoard/enPortal versions:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="background-color:#eeeeee;"
