Prerequisites
You must have Administrator user credentials for your Continuum Command account
You must have Administrator user credentials for your Lifecycle Manager account or member permissions of Manage Sync Settings selected
Following the steps based on your situation will ensure the successful integration of Continuum Command and Lifecycle Manager:
If you have an existing API key that was previously generated and stored in a secure way, then please jump straight to Add Continuum Command API key to Lifecycle Manager. |
Integration steps in Continuum Command
Integration steps in Lifecycle Manager
Integration steps in Continuum Command
Generate an API key for the first time
Sign in to Continuum Command's ITSupport Portal
Head to Admin > Integration > Reporting API
Click Create API Key
Continuum Command only allows a single reporting API key to be used. Once the API key is generated, take note of the API key and store the API key in a secure location. |
Regenerate an API key if the existing key is unknown
Since Continuum Command only allows a single reporting API key to be used, and if you've already connected Continuum Command to another tool, such as IT Glue, you can't create a new one without breaking the first.
In case you haven’t stored the previous API key in a secure location or you forget the Continuum Command API key, return to the API screen and click Regenerate. Any previously generated API key will be invalidated and you must update the Continuum Command API key in use in any previous systems.
Sign in to Continuum Command's ITSupport Portal
Head to Admin > Integration > Reporting API
Click Create API Key
From the API screen, click the Regenerate button to regenerate an API key.
Once you’ve regenerated the API key, document it securely, then update all integrations that were using it previously and then add it to Lifecycle Manager.
You should add the API key outside of business hours after confirming that no active integrations are syncing. |
Integration steps in Lifecycle Manager
