Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Configuring the global configuration database JDBC data source settings

The bootstrap settings are for creating the global configuration database (GCD) and for starting Content Platform Engine. The text extraction setting is needed for updating the Content Platform Engine EAR file with the IBM® Content Search Services API JAR files and text extraction modules.

Before you begin

Ensure that the application server instance is running or stopped, depending on its type:
Table 1. Required application server state
Option Description
WebSphere® Application Server Start the application server instance if it is not already running.
JBoss Application Server Stop the application server instance.
WebLogic Server Start the application server instance if it is not already running.
Important: Do not change the JDBC data source or JDBC XA data source.

Procedure

To configure the JDBC settings:

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Configuration Manager values, filter by CM: Configure GCD JDBC Data Sources in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. If your configuration profile is not open in Configuration Manager, open the profile.
  3. Right-click Configure GCD JDBC Data Sources in the profile pane and select Edit Selected Task.
  4. Enter the property values for your database by using the values in your worksheet.
  5. Click Save to save your changes.
  6. Ensure that the task is enabled. When the task is disabled, the task name includes the text (disabled). To enable the task, select Configure GCD JDBC Data Sources (disabled) in the profile pane, and then either right-click and click Enable Selected Task from the menu, or click the Enable the Selected Task icon in the task toolbar.
  7. Apply the JDBC property settings by right-clicking Configure GCD JDBC Data Sources in the profile pane, and selecting Run Task. Running the configuration task can take several minutes. The task execution status messages are displayed in the console pane below the JDBC properties.
  8. Close the Configure GCD JDBC Data Sources task pane. In this step, you created the GCD data sources. You create the initial object store data sources later in the configuration process.
