Step 5: CRC Loader properties: Configure PM cell properties

In order for the **CRC loader** to communicate with the *Project Management (PM) Cell* the following properties need to be modified to reflect you environment.

1. In the **edu.harvard.i2b2.crc.loader.properties** file scroll to the section called **File Management Cell**.

2. Edit the **edu.harvard.i2b2.crc.loader.pm.fr.url** property to reflect the location of the PM cell in your environment.

Important

When you edit the **edu.harvard.i2b2.crc.loader.ws.pm.url** property with the location of your PM Cell it is ***extremely important*** that you only edit the **hostname** (*localhost*) and the **port** (*9090*). The remainder of the URL is required as it is written and should not be changed.

  **Project Management Cell**

edu.harvard.i2b2.crc.loader.ws.pm.url=http://*localhost:9090*/i2b2/services/PMService/getServices

# Flag to bypass project management cell

edu.harvard.i2b2.crc.loader.ws.pm.bypass=false

edu.harvard.i2b2.crc.loader.ws.pm.bypass.roleADMIN

edu.harvard.i2b2.crc.loader.ws.pm.bypass.project=Demo

3. Save your changes but do not close the file. You will be continuing to edit the file in the next few sections.
