Use the roadmap as an overview of the tasks for installing
or upgrading, and then configuring Data Studio web console.
Before you begin
- Your system
must meet the Data Studio web console system requirements.
- Download the Data Studio web console installation
image to a temporary directory on the target computer. Then extract
the contents of the image file into the directory. For a link to the
download image, see the IBM® Data
Studio release notes.
- You must have read and
write privileges on the directory where
you plan to install Data Studio web console
- If you are upgrading an earlier version of IBM Data
Studio Health Monitor:
- Make a note
of the installation directory for that product.
- Make sure
that you run the installation program as the same type
of user, administrative or non-administrative, that you used when
you installed the earlier version of the software.
- Read
the Data Studio release notes to find out about known problems
or other support information.
Procedure
To
install or upgrade and then configure Data Studio web console:
- If you are upgrading an earlier version of IBM Data
Studio Health Monitor, do the following
tasks to prepare to upgrade:
- Stop the
currently running version.
- If you manually
configured Data Studio Health Monitor to
run as a Windows
service, uninstall that service.
- Install the software. You can install or upgrade Data Studio web console by running the
installation wizard, by installing in console mode, or by installing
silently:
- Configure Data Studio web console.
After you install Data Studio web console, you can log
in to the web console and access the product in single-user mode.
In single-user mode, the default administrative user that you created
during installation can access all the features of the product.
Tip: If you upgraded an earlier version of Data Studio Health Monitor, the database connections,
alert settings, and user authentication settings stored locally or
in the repository database are retained. Configuration is required
only if you want to add new database connections and configure alerts
for these or if you want to configure permissions requirements for
the users of the web console.
- Optional: Configure Data Studio web console for multi-user
mode.
To use the product with other users, you
must configure it for multi-user mode by adding a repository database.
Then, you can configure authentication for the users and groups of
that database. The repository database is also used to store database
connections, alerts, alert configuration settings, and other related
information.
- Add or import database connections
To monitor the health and availability of a data server database
with Data Studio web console, you
must be connected to that database. When you add a database connection,
that database is added to the Data Studio web console list of connections
and is available to all of the users that log on to the web console.
- Optional: Configure privileges requirements
You can configure the required privileges for users to manage
alerts and jobs individually for each of your databases. You do not
need to configure any alerts or job privileges to start using the
product.
- Optional: Configure Data Studio web console alerts
You can configure alert types and thresholds individually
for each database connection. You do not need to configure any alerts
to start using the product.
- Optional: Configure Data Studio full client to use Data Studio web console for health monitoring
and job management.
You can integrate Data Studio web console with the Data Studio full client workbench to
view alerts, applications, utilities, storage, and other related information
and to create and manage jobs on your databases.
