Configure the BI Monitor Initial Parameters

The following are the wizard steps for installing and deploying Monitor Server:

The BI Monitor Installation Wizard starts on the Welcome screen. For all wizard steps, to go forward to the next step, click Next. To go back to the previous step click Back. You can exit the wizard at any time by clicking Cancel.

  1. Read the displayed instructions, and then click Next.The Configuration of BI Monitor Initial Parameters Welcome Page

  2. In the next screen you should enter the Monitor installation directory (<Monitor>) where the necessary folders and files will be extracted. This directory also will be the BI Monitor Working Directory. You can accept the default path or change this path to a new folder. Then, you can click Next to continue.

Entering the Monitor installation directory (<Monitor>) where the necessary folders and files will be extracted

  1. Select the Manual Deployment radio button, and then click Next.

Selecting the Manual Deployment Radio Button page

Selecting this option will extract all necessary folders and files that are required for deploying all BI Monitor components into the destination folder. In this case you will need to perform the deployment of each component manually. If you choose this option, two Wizard pages representing the two required steps will be displayed to help you edit the BI Monitor .ear file with the required initial parameters. Refer to the appropriate appendix for details on these two steps.

  1. Select one or more engines that the BI Monitor will monitor their run-time data, and then click Next to continue.

Monitor Security Mode

 

"If you choose 'MQWF Security' option, MQ Workflow security will be used. In this case, the parameter value will be set to MQ.

If you choose 'LDAP Security' option, LDAP security will be used. In this case, the parameter value will be set to LDAP.

If you choose 'Local Security' option, local security will be used. In this case, the parameter value will be set to Local."

LDAP Server URL

 

The LDAP Server URL and port number (for example ldap://ldapsrvr:389/). This parameter is added only if you are only using WMQI as your engine with LDAP security mode.

LDAP Server authorized user DN

 

A Distinguished Name (DN) for an LDAP Server authorized user that will be used for logging in to this LDAP Server, and performing the search in the LDAP users' tree. This parameter is added only if you are only using WMQI as your engine with LDAP security mode.

LDAP Server authorized user Password

 

The password of the defined User DN. This parameter is added only if you are only using WMQI as your engine with LDAP security mode.

LDAP Naming attribute holding login ID

 

The name of the prefix that precedes the user ID in the LDAP Server database (i.e. CN, UID,...etc). The value of this parameter varies between the different types of LDAP Servers. This parameter is added only if you are only using WMQI as your engine with LDAP security mode.

The starting point in the LDAP tree from which the query will start searching for the full DN of the given user ID. This parameter is added only if you are only using WMQI as your engine with LDAP security mode.

MQ Workflow Encoding

 

The MQSeries Workflow Server machine encoding. (This property must be set if the MQ Workflow Server machine encoding is different from the Monitor Server machine encoding)

In the above parameters, there are ones that should be defined to hold the values of the Database TableSpaces names that you want to use for physically storing the Monitor and EventQueue database tables and indexes. You have the ability to use a number of TableSpaces that are up to 22 different TableSpaces; 19 of them are created in the Monitor Database and three of them are created in the EventQueue Database. The database tables and indexes are grouped and categorized so that each category can be assigned to a separate TableSpace. You can define different TableSpace name as the value for each system property. Alternatively, you can define the same TableSpace for more than one property. In the later case, this TableSpace will be used for the tables and indexes that are corresponding to these properties. You can also ignore defining any of these properties, and in this case the tables, which are supposed to be assigned to these TableSpaces, will be assigned to the default TableSpace that can be defined by the monitor.db.tablespaces.defaultTablespace property. If you did not define this property then the database user default TableSpace will be used as the default TableSpace.

In case you have an existing database that belongs to a previous version and contains data, then you will need only to add the monitor.db.tablespaces.defaultTablespace parameter. All other parameters that hold the TableSpaces names should not be added.
