Configuring CES Administration Desktop

The CES Administration Desktop is used for data modeling tasks. You need to make certain configurations changes in the CES Administration Desktop tool.

This task explains how to enable the CES Administration Desktop:
  1. The xdapi.cfg is a configuration file used by the CES Administration Desktop to connect the CES database.

    For example,

    <
    dbtype = "ejb"
    label = "CESDB2"
    dblabel = "CESDB2"
    serverurl = "iiop://cesserver:2810"
    imageurl = "iiop://cesserver:2810"
    initialtimeout = "0"
    loadbalanced = "false"
    imageloadbalanced = "false"
    j2eeserver="WAS50"
    >


    This table explains parameters to be changed in the xdapi.cfg file:

    Parameter... Change to...

    label

    The database name that is being used.

    dblabel

    The value can be obtained from the dbinfo.cfg file, located under <installed_path>\<OS>\resources\sdm\exploreJS\admin\configs

    serverurl

    iiop://<host_name>:<Bootstrap Address of CES Server>

  2. Create the xdapi.cfg file under:

    <WAS_HOME>\profiles\<profile Name>\installedApps\<node name>\<ear directory>\<war directory> for Windows

    <WAS_HOME>/profiles/<profile Name>/installedApps/<node name>/<ear directory>/<war directory> for UNIX
