Before you begin: Update your system certificates to connect with the Pega Process Fabric Hub. For more information, see Updating a keystore for Pega Platform to connect to the Pega Process Fabric Hub. A service package is a collection of services that controls access to the listeners for services with defined access groups, such as authentication and REST services. By updating a service package, you ensure that the Pega Process Fabric Hub can connect to your registered applications.Note: Service package settings are system-wide and affect all applications in your instance of Pega Platform. You only need to configure these settings once and the configuration affects all applications. The configuration resets only after you reinstall the Pega Process Fabric Hub connector component from your remote application.

1. In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Records.
2. Expand the Integration-Resources category, and then click Service Package.
3. In the list of the service package instances, select ppfconnect.
4. On the Context tab, in the Processing mode list, select Stateless.
5. In the Service access group field, enter the name of an access group in the application that you want to connect to the Pega Process Fabric Hub.For example: Enter YourApplication:Administrators.
   Note: If you use a custom access group other than Application:Administrators or Application:Authors, add the access group to the AllowedRegistrationAccessGroups dynamic system setting. For more information, see Extensions to Pega Process Fabric worklists and Editing a dynamic system setting. Ensure that the access group is present in your operator record. For more information, see Defining operator contact information and application access.
6. Select the Requires authentication check box.
7. In the Authentication type list, select OAuth 2.0.
8. Select the Suppress Show-HTML check box.For example: The following figure shows a sample configuration for the service package:

   

   

9. In the Methods section, view the newly created REST services by clicking Refresh.Result: The ppfconnect service package now includes the app, assignments/{assignmentID}/canperform, and applications/{applicationName}/actions/{action} REST services that you use to communicate with the Pega Process Fabric Hub, as in the following figure:

   

   

10. Click Save.

What to do next:

• If you host your application on Pega Platform version 8.1 or 8.2, create synchronization between your application and the Pega Process Fabric Hub. For more information, see Configuring synchronization with the Pega Process Fabric Hub.
• If you host your application on Pega Platform version 8.3 or later, list your application in the System Runtime Context. For more information, see Automating the runtime context management of background processes.
• Improve the security of the connection between your system and the Pega Process Fabric Hub. For more information, see Creating a secure connection with the Pega Process Fabric Hub by configuring OAuth 2.0 authentication.
