Configuring Optimize to use an Analytic Engine
When initially started, BPM only and BPMS Optimize installations use a default Integration Server (BPM environment) as the logical server component of their default environments. BAM only and BAM/BPM mixed installations cannot use the default Analytic Engine (BAM environment) or custom defined Analytic Engines listed on the System Settings page until these components have been deployed using the My webMethods Define Environments page (Applications > Administration> System-Wide > Environments > Define Environments). Once you have deployed an Analytic Engine, you can use the My webMethods System Settings page to review/define the host name and port, and you can define the server as the default server for monitoring, if desired. Also, you can test the connection to the server from this page.
Note that you can use the default BAM only Analytic Engine without any modifications after it has been deployed. If you want to change the host and/or port for the default Engine, you can do so from the System Settings page. If you want to use a custom-defined Analytic Engine, you must first add it (using the Add button on the System Settings page) in order for it to appear in the list of available servers. After it is added, you can modify its configuration as desired.
Note:
All Analytic Engines and My webMethods must use the same operating system locale configuration. Refer to your operating system documentation for information about setting or changing the locale configuration.
Note:
You can do everything described in this section for an Integration Server as well as for an Analytic Engine, if applicable to your system configuration. Integration Servers do not need to be configured and deployed using the My webMethods Define Environments page. Also, be aware that the fields displayed on the System Settings page vary depending on the installation type that was selected. If you have a BAM-only installation, the Integration Server configuration fields are not displayed. If you have a BPM-only installation, the Analytic Engine configuration fields are not displayed.
Note:
Optimize supports clustering of Analytic Engines to provide degrees of high availability and, in applicable cases, to increase system data throughput. See the Configuring BAM for specific information about Analytic Engine clustering.
*To configure an Analytic Engine
1. From My webMethods, navigate the following path: Applications > Administration > My webMethods > System Settings.
The System Settings page is displayed, with all currently configured Analytic Engines and Integration Servers shown in the Server Settings panel.
2. If you want to add a new Analytic Engine to the list of displayed servers, click Add to add the Analytic Engine host to your system configuration. When adding a new Analytic Engine, you must enter a server name, a port, and an Analytic Engine host name.
3. If the default host name and port name for an existing Analytic Engine are not correct for your system configuration, edit them as appropriate.
4. If you want to use a displayed Analytic Engine to monitor information by default, click the radio button in the Default column beside the server that corresponds to the desired Analytic Engine.
5. Select the check box in the Use SSL column if the server uses an SSL connection.
6. Click Save to save your configuration information.
7. Click Check Server Status to check the status of all configured servers.
