It appears that https is enabled by default with an 8.1 installation. Is there anything else required to configure https (secure) access to the Info Server Web Console, Business Glossary Browser, and Metadata Workbench other than pointing to the https link with 9443 port? Is there a way to restrict ...

Does anyone know where the Data Connection id and passwords are stored for all Data Sources in Information Analyzer? We do not define the password in the .odbc.ini. IA prompts for username and password when creating the Data Connection. The question is whether this info is stored within a file on th...

Is the QS_TEMP location congifurable? If so, where do we specify the value?

thanks,

Thanks for this info, Andy. This did help me a great deal back a few months when I was also scratching my head on issues using istool. However, I just wanted to make a friendly update to anyone who may reference this note. The patch mentioned (JR316511) is now superceded by JR31444 ( JR31444 Read Me...

I believe it's a problem with the installer - made the move but did not address the shortcuts. Does the BAT file refer to the correct EXE? ... Ray, after making the "double-quote" change to the istool.bat file, the bat file seems to run the istool utility regardless of the istool.exe loca...

Interestingly, the bat file seems to have syntax errors. I'm not an expert batch file scripter, but I see it runs a java "launcher" file and uses some variables to set the paths. istool.bat: @echo off set BASE=%~dp0 set LAUNCHER=org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.v20070606.jar set PLUGINS=...

Hello all, After installing Fix Pack 1, we've noticed a problem with the istool.exe (Information Server Command Line Interface) on the client machine. It seems that the patch has removed the existing istool.exe (C:\Program Files\IBM\InformationServer\v8101\Clients\istools\cli\) and installed a new i...

Per IBM Support, they've given me an easy fix: Since the InstallUpdate seems to be ignoring the -console flag (at the very least), please edit the InstallUpdate.bat script and add %* to the end of the command line as shown in the following example: "C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBNode\apps\jre\bin...

ok, I've tried it again using the latest updater.jar:

Update Installer version: 8.1.0.174

I got the same results. Has anyone else tried this?

I've installed many client patches using the InstallUpdate.bat utility before, but for some reason, I can't get the console mode to work. The instructions for the Connector Rollup patch 2 specify that I need to force re-install the 81 Ciritcal Patch after installing the ccrp2 patch, even if I've alr...

hm, after restarting the all tiers, the problem went away.

I also ran into this error today. I'm on IA v8.1.1 on RedHat Linux.

Were you able to resolve this error? Thanks in advance.

ok, nevermind. I just restarted all tiers (services, engine, agent), and now it's working... weird.

I'm having a similar problem. I had everything configured fine with IA 8.1. Then I upgraded to IA 8.1.1, and it overwrote my ANALYZERPROECT uvodbc.config file. I added the IADB DSN back to the uvodbc.config file in the ANALYZERPROJECT directory, but the IA console is still complaining with the follo...

Thanks. This helps quite a bit. However, I'm getting an error when I run the export saying that the project does not exist, even though I know it does. I'm wondering if I have a typo or something wrong with my syntax. Can you spot anything? [dsadm@cpgapl65: /vend/IBM/InformationServer/v81/Clients/is...
