About this task
The general tasks for configuring the product sources are:
- Finding out the port of the IBM® Rational® Insight
Data Services profile
- Verifying that the data source adapters are installed correctly
- Viewing the logging information
- Setting the trace levels for the log files
- Setting the configuration variables
These tasks are independent of each other and are optional.
Finding
out the port being used by Rational Insight
Data ServicesNote: By
default, Rational Insight
Data Services uses
the port 9080. However, if this port is already being used by another
application, the adapters are installed to another port.
- Run the administrative console for the Rational Insight
Data Services profile.
The default URL is http://localhost:9060/ibm/console.
- Click .
- Click RationalInsightServer.
- Click .
- In the displayed table, look for the value for WC_defaulthost.
This value is the port that is being used by Rational Insight
Data Services.
The default value for this port is 9080. If the value of your port
is different, substitute your value when you see this port used for
the remaining tasks in this guide.
Verifying that the Rational Insight
Data Services adapters
are installed correctly- Open a Web browser.
- Enter the URL for the Rational Insight
Data Services application.
The default URL is http://localhost:9080/DataServices.
If
Rational Insight
Data Services is
working correctly, you see an XML document describing each of the
installed adapters. Note down the URL of the installed adapters. You
need them when you are configuring the report server.
Note: If you
get an error, make sure:
- The Rational Insight
Data Services profile
is running.
- The administrative console can be opened. The default URL is http://localhost:9060/ibm/console.
Viewing the logging information in IBM WebSphere® Application
Server, saved to
the SystemErr log file for the server- Run the administrative console for the Rational Insight
Data Services profile.
The default URL is http://localhost:9060/ibm/console.
- Click .
- Click .
- Click the View button near the SystemErr.log
file.
When viewed for the first time, the log file might be empty.
Changing
the log level by specifying the criteria to determine the information
that gets logged- Run the administrative console for the Rational Insight
Data Services profile.
The default URL is http://localhost:9060/ibm/console.
- Click .
- Find the parameter named VegaDataServices.logger.tracelevel.
- Change the value to the trace level you want. Valid trace levels
are listed in the description column.
- Click OK, and click Save.
To verify that the trace level is set correctly, open the
http://localhost:9080/DataServices URL
and view the log. The log should contain entries of the activities
that occurred during the generation of the URL. Be sure to set the
value back to
warn before proceeding.
Note: The
trace level parameter should usually be set to warn, error, fatal or off.
Set it to all, trace or debug if
you want to include additional information in the log to help you
troubleshoot.
