Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Editing the global configuration database JDBC data source settings

Edit the JDBC data source settings for the global configuration database in the existing profile you are using for you upgrade.

Before you begin

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

Edit these values to configure the profile to use an alternate database. In this task you will change the following :
  • database server
  • database port
Verify these values to assure they match the installation location for the Content Platform Engine on the new application server:
  • script
  • temporary directory
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: Edit GCD JDBC Data Sources in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Right-click the Configure GCD JDBC Data Sources icon and select Edit Selected Task.
  3. Enter the property values for your database by using the values in your worksheet.
  4. 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.

    (WebLogic only) If the test fails, complete the following substeps to reset the data source parameters before attempting the database connection test again:

    1. Start the WebLogic Server administrative console.
    2. Click Lock & Edit > Services > Data Sources.
    3. Select the check box for the data source and then click Delete.
    4. Click Activate Changes.
  5. Verify the path information for the script and temporary directory parameters match the installation path for the Content Platform Engine software on the new application server.
    Remember: The default installation path for the software could be different on version 5.2.1.
    Table 1. Default installation path for version 4.5.1 of Content Engine
    Platform Path
    AIX®, HPUX, Linux, Linux for System z, Solaris /opt/FileNet/ContentEngine/tools/configure/
    Windows C:\Program Files\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\
    Note: For 64-bit Windows: Program Files(x86)
    Table 2. Default installation path for versions 5.0 and 5.1 of Content Engine and version 5.2 of Content Platform Engine
    Platform Path
    AIX, HPUX, Linux, Linux for System z, Solaris /opt/IBM/FileNet/ContentEngine/tools/configure/
    Windows C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\
    Note: For 64-bit Windows: Program Files(x86)
  6. Click Save to save your changes.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Close the Configure GCD JDBC Data Sources task pane.
