The Precisely product suite is designed to share information between products. The following topics describe the various ways in which information can flow between products.
To enable shared security directories between integrated products, see Shared Embedded Security.
Assure DQ and ER
This section contains information about the tasks to perform to enable communication between Assure DQ and ER.
ER gateway properties in
IA.properties.The instructions assume that one application has already been installed. As you follow the basic instructions to install the second Precisely application, include the following tasks:
- When you set up the database, create a separate database schema for each application. You can set up the schemas for both applications in the same or a separate database.
-
If you are using shared embedded security, configure the properties in the
embedded.directory.propertiesfile. See Shared Embedded Security. -
Enable the gateways between the two applications:
-
In the
IA.propertiesfile, set theENABLE_ERGATEWAYproperty totrue. -
In the
ER.propertiesfile, set theASSURE_GATEWAY_ENABLEDproperty totrueonly if you require control points for execution during start of day (SOD) or end of day (EOD).
-
In the
-
Edit the Assure DQ gateway properties, as applicable, in the
ER.propertiesfile. See the Assure DQ Gateway Properties section in the “ER Properties” chapter of the Properties Guide. -
Edit the ER gateway properties, as applicable, in the
IA.propertiesfile. See the ER Gateway Properties section in the “Assure DQ Properties” chapter of the Properties Guide.
Assure DQ and Insight
Assure DQ works with Insight to provide continuous controls monitoring for Assure DQ controls.
This section contains information about the tasks to perform to enable communication between Assure DQ and Insight.
The instructions assume that the first Precisely application, either Assure DQ or Insight, has already been installed, and that the two applications will share the same JVM.
Insight gateway properties in
IA.properties.As you follow the basic instructions to install the second Precisely application, include the following tasks:
- When you set up the database, create a separate database schema for each application. You can set up the schemas for both applications in the same or a separate database.
- If you are using shared embedded security, configure the properties in the
embedded.directory.propertiesfile. See Shared Embedded Security. - In the
IA.propertiesfile, set theINSIGHT_GATEWAY_ENABLEDproperty totrue. - Edit the Insight gateway properties, as applicable, in the
IA.propertiesfile. See the Insight Properties section in the “Assure DQ Properties” chapter of the Properties Guide. - In the
II.propertiesfile, edit the following properties, as applicable:- If you do not interface with ACR and you do not use case
management, set the
REPORTS_AUTOLOADINGproperty tooffto save processing time. - If you do not interface with ACR, set the
HISTORY_AUTOLOADINGproperty tooffto save processing time.
- If you do not interface with ACR and you do not use case
management, set the
See the “Insight Properties” chapter of the Properties Guide.
Assure DQ and Perceive
Assure DQ can export data to Perceive for more flexible reporting on control data and results.
The instructions assume that Assure DQ has already been installed, and that the two applications will share the same JVM.
This section contains information about the tasks to perform to enable Perceive to receive data from Assure DQ.
- When you set up the database, create a separate database schema for each application. You can set up the schemas for both applications in the same or a separate database.
- If you are using shared embedded security, configure the properties in the
embedded.directory.propertiesfile. See Shared Embedded Security. - In the
IV.propertiesfile, configure the following properties:- Check the default value for the
ASSURE_EXPORT_DIRandIVP_IMPORT_DIRproperties. The values must point to the same location. You can override the default setting. - Specify the value for the
ASSURE_EXPORT_TIMEOUTproperty.
See the Shared Directory Properties section in the “Perceive Properties” chapter of the Properties Guide.
- Check the default value for the
- In the , define an Assure DQ source system from which to extract data.
See the Perceive documentation or the online help.
Assure DQ and ACR
This section contains information about the tasks to perform to enable communication between Assure DQ and ACR™.
Assure DQ can receive data from ACR/Summary®, through an ACR/Connector® node. To enable communication between Assure DQ and ACR/Summary, complete the tasks below.
- Open
<install_folder>/Infogix/config/default/IA.propertiesfile, and configure the following ACR/Connector properties:XPG_GATEWAY_ENABLEDIIA_HOSTIIA_PORTXPG_LIST_PLATFORMS_DYNAMIC
See the ACR/Connector Properties section in the “Assure DQ Properties” chapter of the Properties Guide.
ER and Perceive
This section contains information about the tasks to perform to enable Perceive to extract data from ER.
- When you set up the database, create a separate database schema for each application.
You can set up the schemas for both applications in the same or a separate database.
Configure Product Integration
- If you are using shared embedded security, configure the properties in the
embedded.directory.propertiesfile. See Shared Embedded Security. -
Important: ER must be installed to complete these steps.See the Perceive documentation or the online help.
- In the , complete the following tasks:
- Define an ER source system from which to extract data.
- Set up an ER data transfer option. For example, specify the
ER Data Source as
InfogixERDS.
- Add the ER data source, with the JNDI name
InfogixERDS, in Perceive. The data source must point to the ER database.- For WildFly, add a new set of properties in the
datasource.propertiesfile that define the database connection properties of ER. See Chapter 6, “Data Source Properties”, in the Properties Guide for more information on configuring external datasources.- For the property
ds.DATABASE_JNDI_NAME.n, specify the name of the ER Data Source defined above (InfogixERDS).
- For the property
- For WebSphere, use the to define the new data source for ER.
- For WildFly, add a new set of properties in the
Insight and ACR
ACR works with Insight to provide continuous controls monitoring for ACR controls.
To enable communication between Insight and ACR, see the Visibility API guide.
Insight and Perceive
Insight works with Perceive to provide a full visibility solution with custom views.
No integration tasks are required at the time of installation.
Later, you will need to identify Perceive as an information source through the .
Perceive and ACR
ACR works with Perceive to provide additional reporting capabilities for ACR controls.
To enable communication between Perceive and ACR, see the Visibility API guide.
