The "WebSphere MQ" tab of the configuration wizard allows you to
change properties that specify how InterChange Server communicates with the
WebSphere MQ persistent messaging server. Do the following to configure
the WebSphere MQ properties:

Figure 37. WebSphere MQ configuration tab

- Type the name of the computer on which the WebSphere MQ server is
installed in the Host Name field.
- Type in the Port Number field the port over which WebSphere MQ
allows clients to communicate with the server.
The default port is 1414.
- Type in the Queue Manager Name field the name of the queue
manager that has been created to contain the queues on which InterChange
Server will persistently store messages for the flows it processes.
- Type in the Channel field the name of the channel over which
clients of WebSphere MQ communicate with the WebSphere MQ server. The
default value is CHANNEL1. Consult with the WebSphere MQ
administrator at the site to determine if CHANNEL1 can be used and
if not, which channel can be used.
The "Database" tab of the configuration wizard allows you to change
properties that specify the databases InterChange Server uses to store
repository, event management, and transaction management data. Do the
following to configure the database properties:
- Click the Database tab.
Figure 38 shows the "Database" configuration tab:
Figure 38. Database connectivity configuration tab

- Select the appropriate value in the Database Driver drop-down
menu--either DB2, MQ SQL Server(Type 4), or
Oracle(Type 4)--depending on the database vendor.
- Type the maximum number of connections you want InterChange Server to make
with the database server in the Max Connections field, or enable
the Unlimited check box to allow InterChange Server an unlimited
number of connections.
- Type the maximum number of pools InterChange Server should establish to
contain the database connections it caches in the Max Pools
field.
- Type the number of minutes you want a connection object to remain idle
before being returned to the database connection pool for reuse in the
Idle Timeout field.
- Do the following in the "Event Management"
pane to configure the database connectivity for the event management
service:
- If you chose MQ SQL Server(Type 4), or Oracle(Type
4) in the Database Driver drop-down menu, then type the name
of the computer on which the database server resides in the Host
Name field.
- Type the name of the database in the Database field.
- Type the maximum number of connections you want InterChange Server to make
with the specific database server in the Max Connections field, or
enable the Unlimited check box to allow InterChange Server an
unlimited number of connections.
- Type the user name that should be used by InterChange
Server to log in to the specified database in the Login
field.
- Type the password for the user name specified in step 6d in the Password field.
- If you chose MQ SQL Server(Type 4), or Oracle(Type
4) in the Database Driver drop-down menu, then you must type
the port number through which clients communicate with the database server in
the Port Number field.
- Repeat step 6 in the "Transactions" pane to configure the database
connectivity for the transaction management service.
- Repeat step 6 in the "Repository" pane to configure the database
connectivity for the repository service.
- Do the following in the "Flow Monitoring" pane to configure the
database connectivity for the flow monitoring service:
- If you chose Oracle(Type 4) in the Database Driver
drop-down menu, then type the name of the computer on which the database
server resides in the Host Name field.
- Note:
- Microsoft SQL Server is not a supported database for WebSphere Business
Integration Monitor. If SQL Server is the database you are using for
the other databases used by WebSphere InterChange Server, then you cannot use
Flow Monitoring.
- Type the name of the database in the Database field.
- Type the name of the schema used by WebSphere Business Integration Monitor
in the Schema field.
If you are using Oracle for the flow monitoring database then the name of
the schema is identical to the name of the user account. If you are
using IBM DB2 for the flow monitoring database, however, the schema name can
be different from the name of the user account, so you must specify the
correct schema name.
- Type the maximum number of connections you want InterChange Server to make
with the specific database server in the Max Connections field, or
enable the Unlimited check box to allow InterChange Server an
unlimited number of connections.
- Type the user name that should be used by InterChange
Server to log in to the specified database in the Login
field.
- Type the password for the user name specified in step 9e in the Password field.
- If you chose Oracle(Type 4) in the Database Driver
drop-down menu, then you must type the port number through which clients
communicate with the database server in the Port Number
field.
For more information about Flow Monitoring, see the System Administration Guide.
Do the following to change the password for the user name that InterChange
Server uses to access one of the databases:
- Click Change next to the Password field in the
"Event Management", "Transactions", "Repository", or
"Flow Monitoring" panes.
- Type the new password in the New Password field.
- Type the new password again in the Confirm Password
field.
- Click OK.
