1. Launch the SMC.

2. In the SMC tree, select Projects.

• The Management tab displays.

3. Click Create Project .

4. In the Select Project Extensions dialog box, do one of the following:

• Select the desired extension suite that, by default, selects all the extensions listed under it.

• Expand the desired extension suite and select the extensions for which you want to create a project.
  Note that mandatory extension and the extension on which the mandatory extension depends, both are not available for selection in the Select Project Extensions dialog box. A newly created project always includes mandatory extension and its parent extension (mandatory/non-mandatory) in the project.

• (Optional) Configure languages for a project. The default project language is en-US. See Tips for Configuring and Editing Project Languages in Server Project Information Expander.
  NOTE: For working in a distributed environment, the number and the sequence of the configured languages for the projects in distribution must be the same.

• (Optional) Select a language from the configured project languages as the default language by selecting the Default option for producing language-dependent contents by server components. For example, Journaling is not dependent on the logged-on user and hence for printing date/time information, the project language set as default language is used for printing date/time information.

• (Optional) In the Linked HDB drop-down list, select the History database which you want to link. If there is only one HDB available, it is automatically selected. You can link the HDB after creating the project.

• (Optional) Select the Encrypted check box to encrypt the communication between a project and the HDB.

• (Optional) Type the system name and system ID to change the default value of 1. Valid values are 1 through 2048. These fields provide project identification to the system.
  NOTE: For working in a distributed environment, the system name and system ID of the project must be unique.

• (Optional) Type the port numbers for the Pmon, Data, Event, HDB Reader ports fields to change the default values. Ensure that no two port numbers are same.

7. In the User Credentials expander, configure the details for Default Administrator and Root user as follows:

   — Local: You can leave the Web communication as Local when the Web server (IIS) is hosted on the local Server.
   It displays in red Indicating that the Web communication between the CCom port and the Web server (IIS) is enabled, but without certificates.
   b. (Optional) Type or configure a unique CCom port number using the spin control buttons.
