Configuring the Dashboard and Reports to Use the Load Balancer

If you installed the Dashboard and Reports component, change settings in

Data Integration Hub

and in Logi Info Studio to use the load balancer for the Dashboard in

Data Integration Hub

Before you configure the Dashboard, configure sticky sessions for the Operation Console and verify that the dx.console.url system property contains the load balancer URL.

In the

Data Integration Hub

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>/

dih

-dashboard

For example:

http://host1:80/ dih-dashboard

Open the following file:

< DIHInstallationDir>/  DataIntegrationHub/tomcat/shared/classes/dx_dashboard_configuration.xml

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>/ dih -console For example: http://host1:80/ dih -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>:< dih _port>/ dih -console/logout.jsp For example: http://host1:80/ dih -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 name of the workflow file depends on type of database on which the ODS is installed.
