# Set up the SCCM Usage Metering spoke

Integrate the ServiceNow instance and SCCM using Java Database Connectivity \(JDBC\) credentials to authenticate ServiceNow requests.

## Before you begin

-   Request an Integration Hub subscription.
-   Activate the SCCM Usage Metering spoke.
-   Role required: admin.

## Create Connection records for the SCCM Usage Metering spoke

Create Connection records to the SCCM server. The SCCM Usage Metering spoke connection and credential aliases use these connections to perform actions in SCCM.

### Before you begin

Role required: admin.

### Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Credentials & Connections** > **Connections**.

2.  Click **New** and select **JDBC Connection**.

3.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    The database selection in the **Format** field determines which fields are available.
