Modifying the default name of your SQL DI login group

SQL Data Insights (SQL DI) uses a RACF® group for user authorization. You must be added to the group to be authorized and sign in the application, hence the login group. The default group name is SQLDIGRP. You can change the default group name either during the SQL DI installation or at any other time by using the shell CLI.

Procedure

  1. In a bash session, change to the $SQLDI_INSTALL_DIR/sql-data-insights/bin directory.
  2. Start the group name change by invoking the sqldi.sh shell script with the update_group command as shown in the following example:
    ./sqldi.sh update_group

    See Shell commands for SQL Data Insights configuration, administration, and object model management for details about the update_group command.

  3. Follow the onscreen prompt to enter the new group name.
    If needed, see Defining a RACF group for instructions for defining a RACF group.
  4. After the update is successfully verified, restart the SQL DI server to use the modified login group.

    Issue the following commands to stop and then start the SQL DI application:

    ./sqldi.sh stop
    ./sqldi.sh start
