Description:
ITAM administrators might want to define a default currency for Asset Portfolio Management.
Solution:
NOTE: you need to have at least Asset Portfolio Management 12.6.03 for this to work.
- Identify the value desired for entry "DefaultCurrencyType" (i.e. EUR).
- you can find the correct abbreviation in ITAM > Directory > List Management > Currency Type
- Provide the "DefaultCurrencyType" entry to the Application Server(s)
- Login to a machine where APM Application Server is installed.
- Open the Application Server's web.config in a text editor (i.e. notepad).
- By default this is "%PROGRAMFILES%\CA\ITAM\Application Server\web.config"
- Locate the line with '<appSettings>'.
- Create a new line after '<appSettings>' and add new entry for "DefaultCurrencyType".
- i.e. <add key="DefaultCurrencyType" value="EUR" />
- Save and exit web.config
- Repeat steps a-e for all other APM Application Severs if an Application Server Web Farm is implemented.
NOTE: CONFIGURATION IS COMPLETE IF USING ITAM 12.9 OR LATER. IF USING ITAM 12.6 OR 12.8 PLEASE FOLLOW THE ADDITIONAL STEPS BELOW:
- Provide the "DefaultCurrencyType" entry to the ITAM Central Configuration Controller (CCC).
- Login to the machine from which the APM Installation was performed.
- This is the machine where the "ITAM Central Configuration Controller (CCC)" Service runs.
- Open the Application Server's web.txt in a text editor (i.e. notepad)
- By default this is "%PROGRAMFILES%\CA\ITAM\InstallConfig\Templates\WebService\web.txt"
- Locate the line with '<appSettings>'.
- Create a new line after '<appSettings>' and add new entry for "DefaultCurrencyType".
- i.e. <add key="DefaultCurrencyType" value="EUR" />
- Save and exit web.txt
