Step 11. Configure the Dashboard and Reports

Step 11. Configure the Dashboard and Reports

If you installed the Dashboard and Reports component, perform this task on both of the cluster nodes.
  1. In the
    B2B Data Exchange
    Operation Console, from the Navigator, open
    Administration
    System Properties
    .
  2. In the
    dx.dashboard.url
    system property, enter the load balancer URL in the following format:
    http://<load_balancer>:<load_balancer_port>/
    dx
    -dashboard
    For example:
    http://host1:80/
    dx
    -dashboard
  3. Open the following file:
    <
    DX
    InstallationDir>/
    DataExcahnge
    /tomcat/shared/classes/dx_dashboard_configuration.xml
  4. In the
    dx_dashboard_configuration.xml
    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
    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
  5. 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.
  6. Configure the operational data store (ODS) workflow file with the standard PowerCenter high availability configuration. The workflow file resides in the following location:
    <
    DX
    InstallationDir>/powercenter/ETL/DX_ETL.xml
  7. Restart the Tomcat server.
  8. If you customized the Dashboard, deploy the customization on all of the machines in the cluster.
