Step 1. Start the Hub Console

To access the MDM Hub, start the Hub Console.

Open a browser window and enter the following URL:

http://<

MDM Hub host

>:<

port number

>/cmx/

The Hub Console launch page appears.

Enter your user name and password, and then click

Download

The MDM Hub application JAR file that is required to launch the Hub Console downloads.

If you cannot download the MDM Hub application JAR file, contact your MDM administrator. The administrator can distribute the JAR file from the following directory:

MDM Hub installation directory

>/hub/server/resources/hub

Run the application JAR file.

If you do not have an SSL certificate on the client machine, and want to access the

Hub Console

through an HTTPS connection, you must install it. To do so, you can use the following procedure:

Import the certificate to the Java keystore of your local client machine, by running the following command:

keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias <certificate alias name> -file <certificate alias file> -keystore <local java cacerts keystore location>

Pass the location and password of the truststore file that contains the certificate, by running the following command:

java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<truststore file location> -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=<truststore_password> -jar hubConsole.jar

Use a separate truststore that contains all the custom trust certificates, rather than the default cacert file. Obtain the certificates from the team that maintains the application server. The server might use either a self signed certificate or security certificate. Download the .jar file only if there is a version change on the server. Each time you download the .jar file, launch it using the same command.

To specify the maximum memory allocation pool for the application, run the following command:

java -Xmx<n>G -jar hubConsole.jar

Where <n> is the maximum memory allocation in GB.

The

Informatica MDM Hub Login

dialog box appears.

Enter your user name and password.

If you want to connect to a specific Hub Server node or if you use a load balancer or a reverse proxy server, override the pre-configured connection parameters in the Connection Property field.

Enter the parameters in the following format:

<host name>:<port name>

Where, host name and port name are either the host name and port name of the Hub Server or that of the load balancer or the reverse proxy server that you use.

Click

The

Change database

dialog box appears.

Select the target database.

The target database is the

MDM Hub Master Database

Select a language from the list, and click

Connect.

The

Hub Console

user interface appears in the language that you select. If you need to change the language in which the
