Step 11. Configure the Dashboard and Reports

If you installed the Dashboard and Reports component, register the Dashboard license and then perform this task on both of the cluster nodes.

For more information about how to register the Dashboard license, see the Post-Installation chapter in the

DataExchange

Installation and Configuration Guide

In the

B2B Data Exchange

Operation Console, from the Navigator, open

Administration

System Properties

In the

dx.dashboard.url

system property, enter the load balancer URL in the following format:

http://<load_balancer>:<load_balancer_port>/

-dashboard

For example:

http://host1:80/dx-dashboard

For

B2B Data Exchange

9.5.1, open the following configuration file:

InstallationDir>\

DataExchange

DataIntegrationHub

\tomcat\webapps\

-dashboard\_Definitions\_Settings.lgx.

For

B2B Data Exchange

9.6.1, open the following configuration file:

InstallationDir>\

DataExchange

DataIntegrationHub

\tomcat\shared\classes\dx_dashboard_configuration.xml.

In the configuration file, configure the following properties:

Property	Description
DX_CONSOLE_URL	Load balancer URL in the following format: http://<load_balancer>:<load_balancer_port>/ dx -console For example: http://host1:80/ dx -console
DASHBOARD_SAVEFOLDER	Shared folder for the saved Dashboard applications. You must create the folder before you configure this property. For example: \\NetworkDir\SavedDashboards
DASHBOARD_DEFAULTFOLDER	Shared folder for the saved Dashboard applications. Confirm that the folder exists before you configure this property. For example: \\NetworkDir\SavedDashboards
AuthenticationClientAddresses	Load balancer IP addresses separated by commas. Enter IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. For example: 10.40.0.135,192.178.147.1,192.268.30.1,127.4.0.1,193.168.147.1
LogonFailPage	Load balancer URL in the following format: http://<load balancer>:< dx _port>/ dx -console/logout.jsp For example: http://host1:80/ dx -console/logout.jsp

In the

_Settings.lgx

file, add a

SecureKeySharedFolder

property to the

Security

element and set the value of

SecureKeySharedFolder

to the path of a shared location on the network to store the SecureKey file.

For example:

SecureKeySharedFolder="\\NetworkDir\SecureKeys"

You must create the folder before you add this property.

Configure the operational data store (ODS) workflow file with the standard PowerCenter high availability configuration. The workflow file resides in the following location:

InstallationDir>\powercenter\ETL\DX_ETL.xml

To restart the Tomcat server, restart the

DataExchange

services. Perform the following steps:

In the Start menu, click Informatica >
B2B Data Exchange
.

Select

Stop Services

After all the services stop, select

Start Services

All the

B2B Data Exchange

services start.

If you customized the Dashboard, deploy the customization on all of the machines in the cluster.

To make changes to one Dashboard user settings and apply the changes to all Dashboard users, perform the following steps:

In the folder designated as the shared folder for the saved Dashboard applications, for example

\\NetworkDir\SavedDashboards

, find the files

_default_dashboard.xml

and

dashboard<userID>.xml

The file

_default_dashboard.xml

has the default settings for the Dashboard. Each user has a unique file

dashboard<userID>.xml

, named with the user ID for that user, that contains the Dashboard settings for that user.

Make a backup copy of the default dashboard file

_default_dashboard.xml

Change settings for a particular user. Make a backup copy of the user file

dashboard<userID>.xml

for the user whose settings you changed and want to replicate.

To overwrite the default dashboard settings, rename the file

dashboard<userID>.xml

for the user whose settings you changed to

_default_dashboard.xml

Delete all the files

dashboard<userID>.xml
