If the Insight database is hosted on Oracle and the Insight Oracle user does not have the correct quota on the tablespaces in the Insight databases, the DCC web UI will show multiple symptoms as operations fail because the Insight database user cannot allocate an extent in the impacted tablespaces.

 

Common symptoms of this problem are:

 

• The Data Collections Jobs status page no longer displays new entries.
   

• The "Delete History" operation in the Data Collection Jobs status page fails with this error:
  
  Error 500: CRRCD1500E An exception com.ibm.team.jfs.app.http.HttpPreconditionFailedException was caught in the class sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl from calling the function newInstance0.
  Precondition Failed Error 412: CRJZS0220E The precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server.
   
• Updates to settings in the Data Collection Jobs page fail with the error above.
   
• You see errors like this in your application server logs:
  
  ORA-01950: no privileges on tablespace 'ETLUSER'
   

Troubleshooting this issue

 

This problem generally happens when the Insight database user's quota on the tablespace referenced in the ORA-01950 error is 0 instead of -1 (unlimited).  To determine whether you are having this problem, show each ORA-01950 error to your DBA and have your DBA verify that the IBM Rational Insight database user has the correct quota on the tablespace(s) referenced in the ORA-01950 error(s).

 

To fix the problem

 

To resolve this issue, the DBA needs to fix the tablespace allocation on each tablespace referenced in an ORA-01950 error -- the Insight database user's quota cannot be 0 (it is commonly -1, which means unlimited quota).

It may be that even though you successfully ran the Insight Setup tool to configure Insight, and the Setup tool had no problems connecting to the remote DB2 databases, neither Insight nor Cognos can connect to these databases.

 

If you have this problem, running an Insight report from Cognos Connection results in the error:

 

QE-DEF-0285
The logon failed

 

You may also see this error in cogserver.log:

 

Failure QE-DEF-0285 The logon failed.QE-DEF-0325 The logon failed for the following reason:RQP-DEF-0068 Unable to connect to at least one database during a multi-database attach to 1 database(s) in: RIDW UDA-SQL-0031 Unable to access the "RIDW" database. Check that the connection parameters to the database are configured correctly. For example, ensure that the data source connection contains the signon information, such as a password, to connect to the database.UDA-SQL-0107 A general exception has occurred during the operation "attach".

 

There are configuration problems that can prevent Insight from connecting to a remote DB2 database that won't impact Insight Setup because Setup tests the connection to the remote DB2 database via the JDBC thin driver, which is not impacted by configuration problems with operating system environment variables.

 

 

Things to check

 

If Insight is installed on a different server than DB2, find out whether the DB2 databases you cannot connect to from the Insight system were cataloged locally with the DB2 client (on the Insight system).

 

In addition, if you are using a 64-bit DB2 client on UNIX, please check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to see if the 32-bit DB2 libraries are present.

 

 

To fix the problem

 

If using UNIX, and your system does not have the 32-bit IBM DB2 libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you should resolve this configuration issue as described in the DB2 considerations documentation.

 

If Insight is installed on a different server than DB2, the DB2 databases need to be cataloged locally with the DB2 client (on the Insight system). You can find instructions on how to do this in the How to setup a DB2 V9 remote CLM Data Warehouse on a reporting server location Jazz article.

 

You should also verify that the WAS JVM Process owner has the db2profile sourced into the JVM session (see Step 5 in the How to setup a DB2 V9 remote CLM Data Warehouse on a reporting server location Jazz article).

Not familiar with Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI)? Have no fear, Michael Fox has a great article here outlining RRDI and covering what's new in version 2.0.... Now that you know what RRDI is and what it can do for you, time to move on to some demos walking you through RRDI from start to finish!

     

IBM Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence V2.0, Part 1: Overview and installation- This demo is the first of three showing a complete Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI) 2.0 installation. This release contains many important new capabilities. One of these is a totally redesigned install/configure process intended to greatly simplify getting Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence up and running. This demo describes the new content in the 2.0 release, then proceeds to install the product. The second and third demos complete the process and demonstrate Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence in action.

IBM Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence V2.0, Part 2: Setup server, register with Jazz Team Server, and configure- After installing Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence as seen in Part 1 of this series, this demo shows the new setup application used for configuring the software. Learn how to start the setup server, configure the setup application to run with it, and then configure and start Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence using the setup application.

IBM Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence V2.0, Part 3: Extract, load, and run reports- Previously, Part 2 of this demo series produced an operational, but empty Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence. This demo shows how to extract report definitions from Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM), load them into Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence, and run them.

IBM Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence V2.0 and Rational Insight- This demo shows how to manipulate the Cognos data sources that are present with Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence or Rational Insight to provide reporting from different data warehouses.

 

Here's two new videos from IBM Rational Education and IBM Jazz covering different aspects of the CLM Money that Matters sample. Both of these should help you understand, configure, and run through the product lifecycle using the same CLM sample. You really won't want to miss these two!

　

IBM Rational RRDI and Insight: Modifying Cognos Data Sources, by Mike Fox- If you have a need to manipulate the Cognos data source RRDI reports use to access data, you must watch this demonstration. Perhaps you want to switch between reporting on a data warehouse loaded with CLM's Money That Matters sample data and another warehouse populated with real data (via Data Collection Jobs). This video shows you how to use Cognos Administration to modify the data source, change the credentials used to connect to the data warehouse, and create a new Cognos data source.

　

 

Enterprise build, promote, and deploy scenario in the CLM 2012 Money that Matters sample- This video shows the enterprise build, promote, and deploy scenario in the CLM 2012 Money that Matters sample.

　

　

　

 

Many of you (our CLM and Insight clients) have requested this information and we are now pleased to announce the CLM jazz.net Information Center contains great detailed information about the Reporting Data Dictionaries data model, thanks to great collaborative efforts between our clients, support, development, and information developers! So, today we can announce that we've published the first iteration of these documentation improvements at:
https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.rational.reporting.overview.doc/topics/c_reference_datadictionary.html

                   

Here's a quick excerpt to really whet your appetite....

Reporting data dictionaries

"Report authors can access the Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) data warehouse via a Framework Manager (FM) model or access live data from the applications using reportable REST APIs. The application-based data dictionaries in this section show how elements in the FM model and in the REST API map to artifacts in CLM.

CLM includes a data warehouse, to which each of the CLM applications contribute data. The data dictionary topics in this section detail the relationship between application-specific data (physical data related to artifacts and other elements in CLM applications) and the related queries that need to be incorporated into a report so that the desired application data appears in the report ouput. When authoring reports, you can reference these mappings to determine which queries to use."

 

And while you're at it, don't miss Seth Packham's blog post covering "More CLM 2012 beta videos: Clustering, installation, scriptable setup, express setup, process editing and more" on the Jazz.net blog!

  Abstract: By integrating Rational Functional Tester 8.2.0.1 with Rational TestManager 7.0.2, you can run test scripts and check logs from TestManager, and even run scripts remotely, as this guide explains. TestManager has been replaced by Rational Quality Manager, so until you can upgrade, you can automate your test cases this way.
  Products: IBM Rational Functional Tester, IBM Rational TestManager, IBM Rational Quality Manager
