Configuring InterChange Server during installation

After the InterChange Server components are installed, you are prompted to configure InterChange Server for your environment.

Use the default values or enter values specific to your environment. In the following sections, the information below each figure provides descriptions of the various fields in each screen.

Important:
Because the values in your InterChange Server configuration (or reconfiguration) must match the values entered during database configuration, do not select the Default, Discard, or Apply buttons until all tabs have been updated. For more information on completing the configuration process, see "Completing the InterChange Server configuration".
See Appendix A, Configuration parameters for specific configuration parameter information.

Configuring InterChange Server

A locale name has the following format:

11_TT.codeset

where ll is a two-character language code (usually in lower case), TT is a two-letter country and territory code (usually in upper case), and codeset is the name of the associated character code set. The codeset portion of the name is often optional. The locale is typically installed as part of the installation of the operating system.

WebSphere MQ

Note:
The Host Name, Queue Manager Name, and Channel fields are grayed out during the initial installation because these values must match the information contained in each connector configuration file. The connector configuration file values are defaulted during installation. You can change these values after initial installation by rerunning the InterChange Server Configuration wizard. You must also update the MQSeries section of the connector configuration files to match this information.

Database

Security

Figure 9. Security configuration screen


The Security tab of the InterChange Server Configuration Wizard gives access to the security options. The user can choose between the local WBI repository (the default) or an LDAP directory as the location for a user registry (a secure list of usernames and passwords for authorized users). Do the following to configure the security options:

  1. Click the Security tab.
  2. In the User Registry list, select either Repository (to use the local WBI repository) or LDAP (to use an LDAP directory) for the location of the user registry.
    Note:
    If you are using an LDAP directory as your user registry, then none of the remaining options are active. The advanced options for the LDAP option are available through the System Manager.
  3. In the HostName field, type the name of the computer on which the database server resides.
    Note:
    This field is inactive if DB2 is selected as the database driver.
  4. Type the name of the database in the Database field. Ensure that the database name you specify matches the database name that you established when creating your database for use with the WebSphere business integration system.
  5. Type the user name that should be used by InterChange Server to log in to the specified database in the Login field. Ensure that the database user name you specify matches the ICS database account name that you established when configuring your database for use with the WebSphere business integration system.
  6. Type the password for the user name specified in step 5 in the Password field. Ensure that the database user password you specify matches the database password that you established when configuring your database for use with the WebSphere business integration system.
  7. Type the port number through which clients communicate with the database server in the Port Number field.
    Note:
    This field is inactive if DB2 is selected as the database driver.

Completing the InterChange Server configuration

  1. After all required values are entered in InterChange Server Configuration screens, select one of the following options before exiting:

    Note:
    When you click any of these buttons, note that the values from all tabs are updated. For example, if you are in the Database tab and you click Apply, the values that are in the WebSphereMQ and InterChange Server tabs are also verified and applied.
  2. Click Exit.
  3. Click Finish to exit the Installer wizard.
  4. Proceed to Configuring WebSphere MQ.
