Collect Required Information for Adapters

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

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 environment variable, the installation procedure will indicate this with an OPT> prompt.

If you are using non-APF-authorized DBMS libraries, you must allocate the libraries to the ddname TASKLIB in IRUNJCL. The installation routine collects the information and allocates the required libraries in STEPLIB.

After you have installed and configured the server, you will be able to further configure your adapters 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:

  • EDAENV.This file contains environment variables and values set at server startup
  • IRUNJCL. This procedure starts the server.

    Both files are members of the edaconflib PDS. You will be prompted for the name of this PDS at installation time.

When you configure the adapter, you will need to provide the name of the Adabas source library and the associated data set name.

CA- DATACOM

Provide the data set names for the following STEPLIB allocations:

(both DB and SQL)

Provide the data set names for the following STEPLIB allocations:

  • load library
  • DBA load library

Provide the data set names to which the following ddnames are allocated:

  • SYSIDMS. Check with your CA-IDMS DBA regarding this ddname.
  • SYSCTL. Is the library corresponding to the central version you want to use.

    If you are deploying the adapter to access an EJB on a:

    • WebLogic server, specify the following path:
      /pathspec/weblogic.jar
    • WebSphere server, specify the following paths:
      /pathspec/websphere.jar

/pathspec/ejbcontainer.jar

      (one for each EJB container)

  • This adapter requires configuration of the JSCOM3 listener. The path to JVM must be provided using either JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME. The installation will prompt for it.
