When you create or augment an IBM® Business Monitor deployment
manager profile, the enterprise archive (EAR) file that is generated
for IBM Cognos® Business Intelligence is
specific for the operating system and bit mode. To successfully run
the EAR file, all nodes must be of the same type. If you have nodes
that are of a different type from the deployment manager, you must
generate an EAR file on one of the nodes.
Procedure
To generate an EAR file on a custom IBM Business Monitor node,
complete the following steps:
- Copy the following files from IBM Business Monitor directories
to IBM Cognos BI installation
directories.
Important: You must rename some
of the files (as shown in the table) to replace existing files.
- Open a command prompt in app_server_root/cognos/war/p2pd.
- Run the following command:
- build.bat ear
- build.sh ear
This command creates a WebSphere EAR file called p2pd.ear in
the IBM Cognos BI root
directory. Building the EAR file might take several minutes.
- Copy the new p2pd.ear file to the
deployment manager, replacing the existing file in app_server_root/cognos.
- Deploy the IBM Cognos BI service.
