Use the roadmap as an overview of the tasks for installing
or upgrading, and then configuring Data Studio web console.
Before you begin
- Your system must meet the Data Studio web console system requirements.
- Download the Data Studio web console installation
image to a temporary directory on the target computer. Then extract
the contents of the image file into the directory. For a link to the
download image, see the IBM® Data
Studio release notes.
- You must have read and write privileges on the directory where
you plan to install Data Studio web console
- Read the Data Studio release
notes to find out about known problems or other support information.
Procedure
To install or upgrade and then configure Data Studio web console:
- If you are upgrading from Data Studio web console version 3.2
or newer, do the following tasks to prepare to upgrade:
- Stop the currently running version.
- If you manually configured Data Studio web console to run as a
Windows service, uninstall that service.
- Install the software. You can install or upgrade Data Studio web console by running the
installation wizard, or by installing silently:
- Configure Data Studio web console.
After you install Data Studio web console, you can log
in to the web console and access the product in single-user mode.
In single-user mode, the default administrative user that you created
during installation can access all the features of the product.
Tip: If you upgraded an earlier version of Data Studio web console or Data Studio Health Monitor, the database connections,
alert settings, and user authentication settings stored locally or
in the repository database are retained. Configuration is required
only if you want to add new database connections and configure alerts
for these or if you want to configure permissions requirements for
the users of the web console.
- Optional: Configure Data Studio web console for multi-user
mode.
To use the product with other users, you
must configure it for multi-user mode by adding a repository database.
Then, you can configure authentication for the users and groups of
that database. The repository database is also used to store database
connections, alerts, alert configuration settings, and other related
information.
- Add or import database connections
To monitor the health and availability of a data server database
with Data Studio web console, you
must be connected to that database. When you add a database connection,
that database is added to the Data Studio web console list of connections
and is available to all of the users that log on to the web console.
- Optional: Configure privileges requirements
You can configure the required privileges for users to manage
alerts and jobs individually for each of your databases. You do not
need to configure any alerts or job privileges to start using the
product.
- Optional: Configure Data Studio web console alerts
You can configure alert types and thresholds individually
for each database connection. You do not need to configure any alerts
to start using the product.
- Optional: Configure Data Studio client to use Data Studio web console for health monitoring
and job management. You can integrate Data Studio web console with the Data Studio client workbench to
view alerts, applications, utilities, storage, and other related information
and to create and manage jobs on your databases.
