Instructions for installing Information Server Governance Rollup Patch 6

Content

Note

IBM InfoSphere Information Server Governance Rollup 6 downloads have been placed on hold due to issues discovered with Information Analyzer. It will become available again when we have a patch for the Information Analyzer issues.

Information Server Governance Rollup 7 is available. Please see this technote for installation information.

This document has been designed to clarify the installation process and replaces any physical README file you may have downloaded previously.

Each rollup for version 11.5 contains the content of the previous rollups. The most recent fix pack release is 11.5 FP1 (11.5.0.1) which is a prerequisite for Governance Rollup 6.

1. If you applied the workaround for JR55924 (Installing WAS IFix PI50993 or WAS 8.5.5.9 Causes Information Server to Report java.lang.noclassdeffounderror), you must undo the fix.
• You copied http*.jar files from
  C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\InfoSphere\lib\iis\20thirdparty
  to

Post-installation steps

If you are upgrading from a previous version of InfoSphere Information Server and already have exception sets in InfoSphere Data Quality Exception Console, you must rebuild the exception set index before you use InfoSphere Data Quality Exception Console.

For more information, see technote 1691829

Procedure:

1. Open a supported browser
2. Enter the following URL, which corresponds to the reindex REST API method for InfoSphere Data Quality Exception Console:
   
   https://server_name:port_number/ibm/iis/dqec/rest/reindex
   
   Parameters:
   server_name - The name or IP address of the services tier computer
   port_number - The port number. The default port number for HTTPS is 9443.
3. Enter your credentials to start rebuilding the index. When the re-indexing is finished, the following message is displayed: "Successfully re-indexed all exception sets.”
4. Close the browser.

If there are already database tables and data files imported into the metadata repository or if you are upgrading from a previous version of InfoSphere Information Analyzer thin client, you must reindex the "da-datasets" Solr collection before using the Information Analyzer thin client.

For more information, see this Knowledge Center topic for details.

Procedure:

If you are installing this patch on an Information Server topology that includes a WebSphere Application Server cluster:

1. Synchronize the WebSphere Application server nodes and the deployment manager after installation as described here.
2. If the metadata repository is located in an Oracle database, execute the following statement as an Oracle system user using sqlplus:
   
   GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO <xmeta>
   
   Where <xmeta> is the id of the metadata repository user
   
   Note: If 'ANY TABLE' is too generic, see the KNOWN ISSUES section for a finer grained solution to be applied post install.

By default, a tablespace with the name IADBSPACE is created with the installation of InfoSphere Information Server.

The tablespace is used to store the analysis results in the InfoSphere Information Analyzer Database (IADB) on DB2. Users can now create multiple tablespaces for IADB and switch to one of them at run time.

To switch DB2 Tablespace, run the following command:

/opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin/iisAdmin.sh -set -key com.ibm.iis.ia.iadb.tablespace.name -value IADBSPACE_1

C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBServer\bin\iisAdmin.sh -set -key com.ibm.iis.ia.iadb.tablespace.name -value IADBSPACE_1

If SAML is going to be used, refer to this Technote for setup information.
