Disable IT-Pedia functionalities

Per default, Alfabet 11.8 includes out-of-the-box integration to IT-Pedia® from Eracent. IT-Pedia is a comprehensive IT product library that provides an up-to-date source of data about IT products of all types including, for example, hardware, software, and network devices. For customers migrating to Alfabet 11.8.1 who have not licensed IT-Pedia® from Eracent, the IT-Pedia functionalities should be disabled. In this case, all functionalities to import and synchronize IT-Pedia products with components in the Alfabet repository will be disabled and not displayed in the user interface.

3. Go to the Variables tab and click the New button.
4. In the Variable Name field, enter Enable_ITPedia. In the Variable Value field, enter false. Click OK.
5. Click OK to close the editor for the server alias definition.
