STEP 3. (Optional) Configuring IBM AD Validation Service
About this task
IBM® AD Validation Service component is specific only for ChangeMan ZMF users, therefore it is not part of the must have components installation.
IBM AD Validation Service is automatically installed during the IBM AD Build Client installation.
IBM AD Validation Service acts like a listener and is linked directly with IBM AD Connect for Mainframe component (Mainframe Agents).
After IBM AD Validation Service is installed, go to <IBM AD Build Client installation folder>\Bin\Release\IBMApplicationDiscoveryValidationServer\SampleConf.
Select all configuration files and copy them to <IBM AD Build Client installation folder>\Bin\Release\IBMApplicationDiscoveryValidationServer.
Next, perform the following configurations.
Procedure
What to do next
-
Go to <IBM AD Build Client installation folder\Bin\Release\IBMApplicationDiscoveryValidationServer\ReportsGenerator\sample-conf folder. This sample-conf folder contains the templates for all the configuration files needed to customize the functioning of ReportsGenerator. To configure ReportsGenerator, copy the templates from the sample-conf folder, and place them in the conf folder.
Once this step is completed and before you start IBM AD Validation Service, some preliminary configurations are required. You need to specify on which projects you want ReportsGenerator to run the reports, which reports to generate, where to store the generated reports etc. The configuration parameters are stored in server.properties, project.properties, ruleBased.properties and ruleBasedConfig.properties files.
For more information, see the following sections that contain a detailed description of the parameters available in these four files:Note: ReportsGenerator is invoked by Validation Server after the Build process. -
