After you install and configure InfoSphere®
DataStage® and InfoSphere
QualityStage®,
test the installation by logging in to the Administrator and Designer
clients.
Before you begin
To run these tests, especially to connect to the IBM®
InfoSphere
DataStage and QualityStage Designer client,
you must be either an InfoSphere
DataStage administrator
or a lower-level user with specific project access granted by an administrator
(in the Administrator client).
If the services and engine tier
do not share a user registry, then you must set up credential mapping.
For more information, see Engine security overview.
Procedure
- Start the IBM
InfoSphere
DataStage and QualityStage Administrator client:
- On the computer where you installed the Administrator
client, click .
- When you are prompted for the server where the services
tier is installed, select a URL in the Host name of the
services tier list. If the URL is not in the list, type
the URL into the field. The URL is in the form server_name:port_number.
The server name and port values depend on whether
IBM
WebSphere® Application Server clustering
is set up within your services tier configuration.
Table 1. Host and
port values for different configurations
WebSphere Application Server configuration |
Host value |
Port value (HTTPS protocol) |
Clustering is configured |
The host name or IP address of the front-end
dispatcher (either the Web server or the load balancer). Do not use
the host name of a particular cluster member. |
HTTPS secure port of the front-end dispatcher
(for example, 443). Do not use the port number of a particular cluster
member. |
Clustering is not configured |
The host name or IP address of the computer
where WebSphere Application Server is
installed. |
HTTPS transport secure port (configured as WC_defaulthost_secure
in WebSphere Application Server).
Default: 9443 |
- Select the engine server name in the Host
name of the Information Server engine list, or type it
into the field if it is not in the list.
- Use your suite credentials to log in to the Administrator client.
- If you get a message that a security certificate from
the server is not trusted, accept the certificate and store it in
your list of trusted certificates:
- To view the security certificate, click View Certificate.
- Click the Certification Path tab, and then
select the root certificate.
- Click the General tab.
- Click Install Certificate, and then click Next.
- Select Place all certificates in the following store.
- Click Browse, and then select Trusted
Root Certification Authorities.
- Click Next, and then click Finish to
import the certificate.
- Start the IBM
InfoSphere
DataStage and QualityStage Designer client:
- On the computer where you installed the Designer client,
click .
- Use your suite credentials to log in to the Designer client.
If you completed step 1 and installed the certificate in the trusted
store on this same computer, the Designer client will reuse that certificate
when authenticating.
- When you are prompted for the server where the services
tier is installed, select a URL in the Hostname of the
services tier list. If the URL is not in the list, type
the URL into the field. The URL is in the form server_name:port_number.
Use the same server name and port number that you used in the
previous step.
- When you are prompted for the server and project, select
the server and project in the Project list.
If the values are not in the list, type them into the field. Specify
the server and project as follows: server_name/project_name.
For example, if the engine is installed on the xyz server (in a non-clustered
application server configuration) and the project is named my-project,
type xyz/my-project.
