Data mining — Required parameters to start the Java-based Mining Visualizers

If you do not want to specify the required parameters on the Local File System page or on the Database page of the Open a New Model window, you can call the mining visualizers directly by adding the required parameters to the start command on a command line interface.

You can use one of the following options:

Using defaults from Intelligent Miner®

If you want to use the default settings from Intelligent Miner, the complete command might look like this:

imvisualizer97 (WIN)
   -dbname <database name> 
   -dbhostname <host name>
   -dbportnumber <port number>
   -dbuserid <user ID>
   -dbpassword <password> <primary_key>

Using a profile

If you want to use a profile, the complete command might look like this:

imvisualizer97 (WIN) 
	-dburl jdbc:db2://test:50000/MODELING 
	-dbdriver com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver 
	-dbuserid db2inst1 
	-dbpassword accessDB2_1 
	-dbtablename TABLE1 
	-dbprimarykeycol PRIMARY_KEY 
	-dbdatacol MODELCOL 
	-dbpropcol PROPERTIESCOL PRIMARY_KEY

Note that the values for the following parameters are case sensitive:

dburl
dbdriver

You can type these parameters in any sequence, however, the primary key must always be the last parameter that you specify.

After you have issued the start command on the command line interface, the model that you specified is displayed in the appropriate visualizer.

The following tables give an overview of the parameters to start the Intelligent Miner Visualizers.
