Hi,

I have Installed the V 8.0.1 (Engine and Client) on Windows XP Pro machine.

When I tried to open the Web console it gives me an error saying "the page cannot be displayed'.

Please shed some light on this as and how to configure the V 8.0.1 on win XP.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Naren

What URL did you use? (n.b. it expects the ":9080" port to be part of the url).

Type http://localhost:9080 and check that you are getting Information Server loin page. If it fails to show then check that below services are running or not:
1) IBM Websphere Application Server V6----
2) All the Db2 related services if the meta server is installed on DB2.

Just check and revert

Thanks

The suggested will work if the server machine is the same as the client machine.

Hi naren,
before you could login to the designer you need to create a user.
Please follow below steps:
1) Login to Information server (http://localhost:9080) and go to the administration tab.
2) Then go to User and Groups drop down and select users.
3) On the right side click on new user and give all the details regarding username/password and rest other mandatory fields.
4) On the same page look for Roles/Suite Component and check on Role (this will give all the priveleges to the user have given) and click on save and close at the bottom.
5) Now look for Domain Management on the left side pane and select Datastage credentials.elect your server and click on open user credentials. scroll down and click browse to search and select the user which you have created.
6) Risht side on the same page go to Assign User Credentials and give user name/password which you use to login to the desktop/laptop ie system use values and click on Apply.

Every thing is done and now you should be able to login to designer with this user. If not then you must check all the DB2 related services and Telnet services are running and possibly a restart if things dont work out.

Try it and let us know.

Anand.

You need to do more than to assign Information Server credentials as a DataStage user, although that is a necessary step. You also have to associate the user (or a group to which the user has been assigned) with a DataStage role - probably DataStage Developer role in this case.

My laptop does have default username and it doesn't have any password.
Should I create a password now and assign it to the users.

Or Do i need to re-install whole thing after creating user again.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Anand,

I have created new user and password at OS level.

Then I have created user as specified above. For that user I have assigned the Suite Administrator and suite user and under suite component i have selected all.

With the above user i can login to web console and console but not the any of the clients.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

See my earlier post about DataStage roles.

Hello,

Could you please let me know how to assign a DS Developer role in IBM Information Server V8.1?

In its Web Console, regarding the DS roles, I can see only DataStage and QualityStage Administrator, and DataStage and QualityStage User. The "Developer" is NOT in the list at all.

Thanks

ray.wurlod · Post by **ray.wurlod** » Wed Oct 06, 2010 3:16 pm

DataStage product roles (there are four of them) are assigned to DataStage users via the DataStage and QualityStage Administrator client on a per-project basis, on the Project Properties dialog Permissions tab.
