You must create the JDBC
data sources for each object store that Content Platform Engine uses. Content Platform Engine uses the data source
information to connect to and update the object store database. By
default, each profile includes a task for creating the data sources
for a single object store, and you can add additional tasks as needed
for each additional object store.
Before you begin
Be sure that you have available
the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your
planning activities.
About this task
The default configuration
profile contains one task for configuring a single object store. You
must create and run a new task for each additional object store in
that Content Platform Engine uses.
Procedure
To configure the JDBC settings for additional object
stores:
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify
that the command is enabled.
To view only Content Platform Engine values,
filter by CM: Configure JDBC data sources (object store
2) in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
- Start
or stop the application server instance, depending on its type.
Table 1. Required application server stateOption |
Description |
WebSphere® Application
Server |
Start the application server instance
if it is not already running. |
JBoss Application Server |
Stop the application server instance. |
Oracle WebLogic Server |
Start the application server instance
if it is not already running. |
- If your configuration profile is not open in Configuration Manager, open it by selecting and
navigating to your profilename.cfgp file.
- Create a task for the additional object store.
Tip: If the object store data sources you are creating share
common information such as database server and port, you can copy
an existing Configure Object Store JDBC Data Sources task and edit
it instead of entering the information again.
- Right-click any task name in
the profile pane, such as Configure Object Store JDBC Data
Sources, and select . The New_Configure JDBC Data Sources task
is added to the profile.
- Right-click New_Configure JDBC Data Sources,
and select Rename Task.
- Enter a useful name for the task, such as Configure
Object Store 2 JDBC Data Sources.
- Click OK.
- Right-click the Configure Object
Store 2 JDBC Data Sources task in the profile pane, and
select Edit Selected Task.
- Provide the property values for the JDBC data sources
for the object store by using the values in your worksheet for your
additional object store.
- Click Save to save your changes.
- Optional: WebSphere and WebLogic only. Click Test
Database Connection to test the connection to the database
by using the database user name, database server name, database name,
port number, and password that you provided. The test
does not create the data sources.
- Ensure that the task is enabled. When the task
is disabled, the task name includes the text (disabled).
To enable the task, right-click Configure Object Store
2 JDBC Data Sources (disabled) in the profile pane, and
click Enable Selected Task from the menu.
- Apply the JDBC property settings by right-clicking Configure
Object Store 2 JDBC Data Sources in the profile pane,
and selecting Run Task. Running
the configuration task can take a few minutes. The task execution
status messages are displayed in the Console pane below the bootstrap
properties.
- (JBoss
only) Start the application server instance.
- Optional: Repeat this procedure as needed to
add the data sources for each object store in your environment.
