Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Configuring the initial object store data sources by using the graphical user interface

Content Platform Engine uses the data source information to connect to and update the object store database. By default, each profile includes a task for creating the data sources for an object store.

Before you begin

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

About this task

Tip: For more information about the properties and values you set in Configuration Manager, roll your mouse over the property name to view its hover help.

Procedure

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that you enabled the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command. To view only Configuration Manager values for this task, filter by CM: Configure Object Store JDBC Data Sources (object store 1) in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Start or stop the application server, depending on its type.
    Table 1. Required application server operation
    Application server type Operation
    WebSphere® Application Server Start the application server instance if it is not already running.
    JBoss Application Server Stop the application server instance.
    Oracle WebLogic Server Start the application server instance if it is not already running.
  3. If your configuration profile is not open in Configuration Manager, open it by selecting File > Open and navigating to your profilename.cfgp file.
  4. Right-click Configure Object Store JDBC Data Sources in the profile pane, and select Edit Selected Task.
  5. Enter the property values for your data sources by using the values in your installation worksheet.
  6. Click Save to save your changes.
  7. Optional: WebSphere and WebLogic only. Click Test Database Connection to test the connection to the database by using the database user name, database server name, database name, port number, and password that you provided. The test does not create the data sources.
  8. Ensure that you enabled the task. When the task is disabled, the task name includes the text (disabled). To enable the task, right-click Configure Object Store JDBC Data Sources (disabled) in the profile pane, and choose Enable Selected Task from the menu.
  9. Apply the JDBC property settings by right-clicking Configure Object Store JDBC Data Sources in the profile pane, and selecting Run Task. Running the configuration task can take several minutes. The system displays the task execution status messages in the Console pane.
  10. (JBoss only) Start the application server instance.
