This section describes lesser used WebFOCUS Repository related information, utilities, and tasks.
How to: |
The table creation utility creates or drops and creates all repository tables. To drop and re-create only specific table groups, you can use utilities available with your database software. This is useful if you wish to remove all library data, but keep your schedules and address books.
This utility creates a .log file with the same name in the same location after running it.
A Command Window opens, which allows you to create tables or to drop and re-create tables.
A prompt for credentials displays. These are credentials for the database connection.
A message appears if any errors occur during the repository creation or re-creation process.
How to: |
If you wish to change repositories, you must adjust the connection parameters:
If you are using the same database server and just wish to change repositories, you normally only need to change the JDBC URL or credentials. If you are moving between database types (going from WebFOCUS to DB2), you must also adjust the JDBC CLASS and change the driver in CLASSPATH.
The JDBC driver information is stored in the drive:\utilities\setenv\utilsetvars.bat file under the JDBC_PATH parameter.
Note: The value must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") if the path contains a space.
For example, for Apache Tomcat, you can use the Start menu by selecting Tomcat Configuration Utility, under the Information Builders Program Group. Then, select the Java tab and add a semicolon (;) plus the full path of the file to the end of the Java Classpath field.
Note: The database password will get encrypted after restarting the application server.
The Repository pane opens, as shown in the following image.
This allows you to see the values entered for the following:
Only Database Password can be changed through the Administration Console. The password will get encrypted and written to install.cfg.
drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS82\ReportCaster\bin\classpath.bat
and to the following value in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Information Builders\ReportCaster\WF82\PARAMETERS\JAVA\CLASSPATH
Note: You do not have to restart the entire application server which may have other applications deployed on it.
