MQ Workflow is Selected

If you select the MQ Workflow option, whether you select it alone or with another option (WMQI and/or WICS), you must enter the following information:

In this case the BI Monitor will be forced to authenticate the logged users to BI Monitor Client through the MQ Workflow. That means any user who will login to BI Monitor Client must be an MQSeries Workflow registered user, and only MQSeries Workflow users have the privilege to log in to BI Monitor Client.

The following are the wizard screens that appear when you select the MQSeries Workflow / WebSphere MQ Workflow option:

  1. In the next screen you will be informed that the wizard will check for the existence of the IBM MQ Workflow and its database. Click Next to continue.

  1. In the next screen you will be asked to select the IBM MQSeries Workflow APIs types, that will be used by the BI Monitor to connect to the MQ Workflow server configuration. You have two options:

Selecting the IBM MQSeries Workflow APIs Types page

Native APIs are supported by MQ Workflow v 3.6, or later.

Proceed to Step 3 if you select MQ Workflow Agent APIs, or proceed to Step 4 if you select MQ Workflow Native APIs.

  1. In the next screen you will be asked to enter the following IBM MQ Workflow Configuration parameters in each corresponding field:

 

Important Note: If the MQ Workflow CoEntering the IBM MQ Workflow Configuration Parameters pagenfiguration ID is not defined, a default configuration must be defined.

  1. In the next screen you will be asked to enter the following IBM MQ Workflow Configuration parameters in each corresponding field:

Entering the IBM MQ Workflow Configuration Parameters page

Important Note: If the MQ Workflow Configuration ID is not defined, a default configuration must be defined.

Enter the required values for each corresponding field and click Next to continue.

  1. In the next screen you will be asked to enter the following information for the IBM MQ Workflow database (The Event Queue Database):

where <Oracle_Server_Name> is the name or the IP address of the Oracle Database Server machine, and <Oracle_Server_Port_Number> is the Oracle Server Port Number (the default port is 1521)

You can specify a different TableSpace name for each of these three fields. Alternatively, you can specify the same TableSpace for more than one field. In the later case these groups of tables and/or indexes will use the same TableSpace for storing the data physically on the hard drive.

If you leave a blank field without specifying a TableSpace name, then the default TableSpace will be used for the corresponding group of tables or indexes.

The specified TableSpace should have been previously created in the Database server. Otherwise, the deployment will not be performed properly and you will not be able to create the database tables.

The wizard will check the connection with the database using the entered database name (or URL), user name and password. If one or more of the entered parameters are not correct, then you will be informed by a message, and the wizard will not continue until you enter the correct parameters.

In case you have an existing database that belongs to a previous version and contains data, then you will not be able to define multiple TableSpaces, and the TableSpaces Names fields will be disabled.

Click Next to continue.
