Collect Required Information for Adapters

For current information about which adapters are supported, see the ibi™ WebFOCUS® Adapter Administration guide.

You must provide information to configure the adapters that you want to install. The installation procedure automatically prompts you for this information. When you are prompted for an optional steplib, ddname, or an environment variable, the installation procedure indicates this with an OPT> prompt.

After you have installed and configured the server, you are able to further configure your adapters by using a web-based server configuration tool called the WebFOCUS Reporting Server browser interface.

The following table describes what information you need to provide for each adapter that you have. (If an adapter is not listed, no information needs to be provided for it.)

Note that the table refers to:

  • IRUNJCL. This procedure contains the JCL procedure for the server, and is a member of the configuration library
    high_level_qualifier.PDS.WFS.DATA

    where:

    high_level_qualifier
    Is the high-level qualifier to be used for all output libraries. You specify the high-level qualifier during server installation, as described in Run isetup, in Step 6.
