About this task
IBM Cloud Product
Insights is a service
that is part of IBM Cloud. Ensure
that your version (and fix-pack level) of IBM Integration Bus is compatible with the level
of the Product Insights service before you
enable IBM Integration Bus to connect to it.
For
more information about Product Insights, see IBM Cloud Product Insights overview.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to configure an instance
of the Product Insights service in IBM Cloud:
- Login to your IBM Cloud account
by clicking Log In in the
IBM Cloud welcome page.
- When you are prompted to create a space for your organization,
enter your organization name and then click Create. For more information about organizations and spaces, see the
IBM Cloud documentation.
- Create your instance of the Product Insights service:
- In the menu bar at the top of the IBM Cloud user interface, click Catalog.
- Scroll to the Integrate section,
and click the Product Insights tile. The service details page is displayed, showing details
of the free service. Default names are supplied, which you can change
if you want to.
- Click Create. Your
service is now available.
For more information about creating an instance of a Product Insights service, see the
IBM Cloud Product
Insights documentation.
- Click your new service tile to open it. The
service dashboard is shown, containing the following tabs:
- Getting started
- Manage
- Service credentials
- Connections.
- Click the Service Credentials tab,
and then click Create Credentials. The
same credentials can be shared across multiple products, so it is
not necessary to create a new one for each product.
- Click View Credentials for
your new service, to show the API host and the API key that will be
used for the connection to your IBM Integration Bus integration
servers.
- Optional: Copy the API host URL
from the Service Credentials tab, so that you
can paste it into the -j (API host) parameter
of the mqsichangebluemixreporting command
when you configure your IBM Integration Bus integration
servers.
Alternatively, you can use the
Parameters form
on the
Manage tab to help you create the command,
by following these steps:
- Click the Manage tab.
- Click Register a product and then select IBM
Integration Bus.
- In the Parameters form, enter the parameters
that you want to use in the command. The format of the command is
created dynamically in the adjoining pane, as you enter the parameters
into the form. You can then copy it and paste it when you want to
run the command.
- Optional: Copy the API key from
the Service Credentials tab, so that you can
paste it into the -k (API key) parameter of the mqsichangebluemixreporting command
when you configure your IBM Integration Bus integration
servers.
Alternatively, you can use the Parameters form
on the Manage tab to help you create the command,
as described in the previous step.
