Configuring the Reporting Data Services Adapters on WebSphere Application Server

Before configuring the Reporting Data Services Adapters, you must configure the Rational® Publishing Engine Data Services application profile to start automatically each time the Reporting data services application server is restarted.

Before you begin

Deploy the Reporting Data Services Adapters on IBM® WebSphere® Application Server.

If you installed the adapters for Rational ClearQuest® and Rational RequisitePro®, you need the URLs of these adapters on the Rational Publishing Engine Data Services application. If you get any firewall warnings or license errors, correct the problem before verifying the adapter. If you get an error 500 when accessing the URL for the Rational ClearQuest adapter, try opening the database in the Rational ClearQuest client.

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the bin directory of the WebSphere Application Server instance that the Reporting data services application is deployed on. Example:
    • For Windows %WAS_HOME%\bin
    • For Linux /opt/IBM/WebSphere/bin
  3. Run the wasservice command:
    • For Windows WASService.exe -add service_name -serverName server_name -profilePath WAS_RPE_profile -startType automatic
    • For Linux wasservice.sh -add RPE -serverName server1 -profilePath WAS_RPE_profile -startType automatic
    where WAS_RPE_profile is the Rational Publishing Engine profile on WebSphere Application Server. Example:
    • For Windows C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Application Server\AppServer\profiles\RPE
    • For Linux /opt/ibm/WebSphereApplicationServer/AppServer/profiles/RPE
    Note: Enter the spaces as noted. The Reporting data services application profile might take several minutes to start. Until the profile starts, you might not be able to access the WebSphere Application Server administrative console and Rational Publishing Engine Data Services application.
