Procedure: How to Configure an Adapter

  1. From the Web Console sidebar, click Connect to Data.

    From the Data Management Console, expand the Adapters folder.

    In the DMC, the Adapters folder opens. In the Web Console, the Adapters page opens showing your configured adapters.

  2. In the Web Console, click the New Datasource button on the menu bar and find the adapter on the drop-down list or, in the DMC, expand the Available folder if it is not already expanded.
    On the Web Console, you can select a category of adapter from the drop-down list or use the search option (magnifying glass) to search for specific characters.
  3. In the DMC, expand the appropriate group folder and the specific adapter folder. The group folder is described in the connection attributes reference.
  4. Right-click the adapter name and/or version and select Configure.

    The Add Adapter to Configuration pane opens.

  5. Enter values for the parameters required by the adapter, as described in the chapter for the specific adapter you want to configure.
  6. Click Configure. The configured adapter is added to the Adapters list in the DMC resources tree or the Configured list in the Web Console.
    In the Web Console, the adapter remains on the Available Adapters list with a check mark to indicate that at least one connection has been configured. You can configure additional connections from either the Configured or Available list by right-clicking the adapter and clicking Add Connection.

Reference: Configuration Parameters and Tasks for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne adapter is under the ERP group folder.

The following list describes the connection attributes for which you can supply values, and additional tasks you must perform to complete the configuration for this adapter.

Security Authentication
  • Check this box if the reporting server is secured. This option applies if every JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user has a user ID on the reporting server system.
  • Leave the box unchecked if the reporting server is unsecured. This option applies if every JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user's user ID and password are stored and are being authenticated by Managed Reporting and/or a self-service application:
    • For Managed Reporting, the user ID must be the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID.
    • For Self-Service requests, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID must be passed to the server.

    In either case, the IBI_REPORT_USER variable must be set to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user ID.

ROLE-based security

When you configure the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne adapter, Group-based security is used by default. Leave the box unchecked, if you wish to use Group-based security.

Check this box if you wish to use Role-based security.

Select profile

Select a profile from the drop-down menu to indicate the level of profile in which to store the CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES command. The global profile, edasprof.prf, is the default.

If you wish to create a new profile, either a user profile (user.prf) or a group profile if available on your platform (using the appropriate naming convention), choose New Profile from the drop-down menu and enter a name in the Profile Name field (the extension is added automatically).

Store the connection attributes in the server profile (edasprof).

When you click the Configure, the adapter is added to the Adapters list in the Web Console or the Adapters folder of the Data Management Console.
