Filling IBM ADDI Extension Install Configuration Page

About this task

Learn how to specify the configuration properties in the IBM® ADDI Extension Install Configuration Page.

Procedure

  1. To update the IBM ADDI Extension Install Configuration Page, access Start Menu > IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence > Launch IBM Application Discovery Configuration Service Admin, and go to Configure > Install Configurations > IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence Extension Install Configuration.
    The IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence Extension Install Configuration page is displayed.
  2. Specify the following configuration properties in the IBM ADDI Extension Install Configuration Page.
    Table 1. Properties in the IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence Install Configuration page
    Tab Name Description
    Web and Application Server Base URL

    The base URL of the IBM ADDI Extension server without any path information. For example, if you want to reach IBM ADDI Extension with a url such as https://addi.mycompany.com:9753/addi/web in the future, enter the url https://addi.mycompany.com:9753.

    Make sure that the IBM ADDI Extension server machine is configured with this name and the fully qualified name is configured in your DNS so that it can be reached inside your organization like that. For more information, see Planning URLs.

    The default port for IBM ADDI Extension is 9443. However, on the production environment where you deploy IBM ADDI Extension with other IBM Application Discovery components, you need to change the port number to avoid conflicts. Because IBM AD Web Services also uses port 9443. Also, the following ports cannot be used since they are occupied by other components:
    • Port 9444 is used by Elasticsearch Front Server.
    • Port 7600 is used by Authentication Service (DEX).
    Before you assign a port to IBM ADDI Extension, make sure that the port doesn't conflict with any other services running on the server. For more information, see TCP Port Requirements and Firewall Exceptions.
    Databases Database server type You need to create a Data Warehouse (DW) database before configuring IBM ADDI Extension. For an evaluation setup, you can use the Derby by default. The Derby database will be created automatically if it does not exist. If you are setting up IBM ADDI Extension with DB2® for production, select DB2 from the list and provide the details.
      Host This is the IP or fully qualified network name of your DB2 database server.
      Port This is the port where DB2 can be reached on the DB2 server. The default port for DB2 is 50000.
      Database Name The name of the database. It is recommended to use the name Data Warehouse (DW) for the databases to be created.
      Tablespace Folder A folder that has been created on the DB2 server machine in which table spaces can be created during setup. The DB2 Admin user must have full write access to this folder.
    Note: If the data warehouse database is used from a previously migrated release of IBM ADDI Extension, the default tablespace from that database will be used regardless of the specified setting of the Tablespace Folder. Because the Tablespace Folder field is mandatory, you can specify anything in case of the default tablespace from the migrated database. If a non-default tablespace was used, then enter that tablespace location in this Tablespace Folder field.
      Username The username of the DB2 Admin user that was created on the DB2 server machine.
      Password The password for DB2 Admin user.
    Note: This password also needs to be specified when you run the adi-setup application.
    Authentication Services Host This is the IP or fully qualified network name of Authentication Server (DEX).
      Port The port that is used for the Authentication Server.
      HTTP protocol The protocol configured for this Authentication Server. Select HTTP or HTTPS.
    User Groups Admin Group List Enter a comma-separated list of user groups that will have Administrator privileges on the configured IBM ADDI Extension server.
      User Group List Enter a comma-separated list of user groups that will have User privileges on the configured IBM ADDI Extension server. This list of user groups will be made available for each IBM ADDI Extension workbook such that the admin can select a sublist to provide them access to this workbook.
