Set up the Web application server to host the report server
and the database client so that you can have access from the report
server to the data warehouse. If you want to host the content store
on the same system, install the database server. Also, install the
required libraries and create links to an
.so file so that
you can install
IBM® Rational® Insight.
About this task
The report server is a Java™ Web
application server that runs on WebSphere® Application
Server. The report server is used for accessing the following databases:
- The data warehouse, which stores data from the operational product
sources
- The content store, which stores the reports, data source connections,
and server and user preferences
- If you want to run the report server on an existing instance
of WebSphere Application Server,
ensure that the existing instance is version is 6.1.0.21 or later.
- If you are installing the report server on an existing
instance of WebSphere Application Server,
see if the [WebSphere_installation_directory]/AppServer/java/jre/lib/ext/ directory
has the bcprov-jdk14-134.jar file. If the jar
file is present, before you run the installer in automatic mode, back
up the jar file and delete it from the directory.
- Before you install the content store database:
- If you are hosting the content store locally, install the
database server and client.
- If your content store is hosted remotely, install the database
client if the database server installation did not include the client
services.
For up-to-date information about installing and configuring
databases, see the documentation for the database product.
- If the data warehouse and content store do not use a database
from the same vendor, install the database client of the data warehouse
database.
- Make sure that the following packages are installed:
libXp stands for X Print Client Library, openmotif stands
for Open Motif.
- libXp-1.0.0-8*.rpm
- libXp-devel-1.0.0-8*.rpm
- openmotif-2.3.0-0.5*.rpm
- openmotif-devel-2.3.0-0.5*.rpm
To verify if these packages are installed, run the following
command from the console:
rpm –qa | grep [PACKAGENAME]
If
the packages are not installed, install them through the following
command:
rpm –ivh [PACKAGENAME]
Typically, these
packages are available on the Linux® installation
media.
- Install the libXm.so.3 file in the /usr/lib folder. To
verify if you have this .so file, run the following command in your
console:
ls /usr/lib/libXm.* -l
If
there is no .so file, install the following libraries:- libXp-devel-1.0.0-8.1.el5
- libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5
- openmotif-2.3.0-0.5.el5
- openmotif-devel-2.3.0-0.5.el5
- Link a new .so file through the following command:
ln -s libXm.so.4.0.0 libXm.so.3
- Link another .so file through the following command:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libfreetype.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
