You can run the ocsetup file on the Active IQ Data Center Manager server to configure read-only access of the Active IQ Data Center Manager database to OnCommand Workflow Automation.

Steps

  1. Download the wfa_ocsetup.sh file to your home directory on the Active IQ Data Center Manager server using the following command in the terminal: wget https://WFA_Server_IP/download/wfa_ocsetup.sh

    WFA_Server_IP is the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6 address) of your WFA server.

    If you have specified a non-default port for WFA, you must include the port number as follows: wget https://wfa_server_ip:port/download/wfa_ocsetup.sh

    port is the TCP port number that you have used for the WFA server during installation.

    If you are specifying an IPv6 address, you must enclose it with square brackets.

  2. Use the following command in the terminal to change the wfa_ocsetup.sh file to an executable:

    chmod +x wfa_ocsetup.sh

  3. Run the script by entering the following in the terminal:

    ./wfa_ocsetup.sh JRE_path

    JRE_path is the path to the JRE.

    Example

    /opt/NTAPdfm/java

    The following output is displayed in the terminal, indicating a successful setup:

    Verifying archive integrity... All good.
