Add the adapter plug-ins to the Data Services application by
copying the adapter archive files to the library directory of WebSphere® Application Server 7.0
or 8.0.
Before you begin
You must install WebSphere Application Server 7.0
or 8.0 and Rational® Publishing Engine with
the Data Services application before
you can deploy the Reporting Data Services Adapters.
If you have more than one computer for the data
sources, you must repeat these steps on each computer.
If you are
using the
Rational RequisitePro® adapter,
configure the Generic JVM arguments in the application server:
- Open the administrative console in a browser.
Example: http://localhost:9043/ibm/console/logon.jsp
- Click .
- Click the ServerName.
- In the Server Infrastructure section,
expand Java and Process Management and click Process
Definition.
- Click Java Virtual Machine.
- In the Generic JVM arguments field,
enter the argument: -DRJCB_IN_MTA_ONLY='RJCB' -Xquickstart
Attention: The -Xquickstart option
must include a hyphen (-) and not an en-dash (–)
or an em-dash (—). Copying the code phrase from this
topic might convert the hyphen into an en-dash or an em-dash. When
this conversion occurs, the error prevents Apache Tomcat from starting.
- Click OK.
Procedure
- Add the adapter files to the WebSphere Application Server data
services directory:
- Copy the contents of the %RPE_HOME%\web services\Data
Services\product_name\eclipse\plugins directory
and paste them into the plugins folder in the WebSphere Application Server data
services directory. By default, the location of this directory is <WASInstallDir>\profiles\profile
name\installedApps\Node Name\DataServices_war.ear\DataServices.war\WEB-INF\eclipse.
- Copy the contents of the %RPE_HOME%\web services\Data
Services\product_name\eclipse\features directory
and paste them into the features folder in the WebSphere Application Server data
services directory. By default, the location of this directory is <WASInstallDir>\profiles\profile
name\installedApps\Node Name\DataServices_war.ear\DataServices.war\WEB-INF\features.
Do not delete any other files contained in the directory. The
plug-ins for each adapter must be merged with the plug-ins for the
web application.
If you cannot locate the
features or
eclipse folders
in the default location
<WASInstallDir>\profiles\profile
name\installedApps\Node Name\DataServices_war.ear\DataServices.war\WEB-INF\,
you can search for the
DataServices.war directory.
To
search for the data services directory:
- Open the <WASInstallDir> with
a files explorer.
- Search for the DataServices.war folder.
- Copy the plug-ins into the DataServices.war\WEB-INF\plugins directory.
- Copy the plug-ins into the DataServices.war\WEB-INF\features directory.
- Restart WebSphere Application Server.
What to do next
- Verify that the Reporting Data Services Adapters are
deployed correctly. Enter http://server:port/DataServices.war_context_path in
a browser. If the deployment is correct, the page displays an XML
list of each installed adapter.
- Configure the Reporting Data Services Adapters for
your product, if necessary.
