Set up the default configuration - assure_dq - 10.1.0

To configure the Assure DQ client for your environment, complete the following steps:

1. Go to <install_folder>\InfogixClient\etc and edit setup.bat to point to the Java home directory.

   This is where java.exe is installed on your system.

2. Go to <install_folder>\InfogixClient\bin and use the following command to run init-client-config.bat:

   init-client-config.bat IA

   The script initializes a configuration named “default.”

   If the message “Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in

   <java_home>\lib\tools.jar” displays, ignore it. Control point executions will not fail as a result of this error message.

3. When prompted, enter the following configuration properties:
   • Host name—The host name or address of the Assure DQ server.
   • Protocol—The communication protocol to use when connecting to the Assure DQ server (1 for http or 2 for https).
   • Port number—The port number of the Assure DQ server.
4. Edit the client.properties file located in <install_folder>\InfogixClient

   \config\default\IA.

   • Unless you prefer to pass them on the command line, edit the user name and password for connecting to the Assure DQ server. Optionally, you can encrypt the password in the next step.
   • If you have multiple instances of the Assure DQ application installed together on the same application server, edit the solution.context.root property.

   Specify the context root of the instance to connect to, such as infogixassuredev.

   See the table beginning here for more detailed descriptions of the properties and how to edit them. When upgrading, refer to the client properties file from the prior release if you want to duplicate its settings.

5. Optionally, run the crypt-properties script to encrypt passwords in the client properties file. From the bin folder, use the following command:

   crypt-properties.bat IA

   Password encryption is optional but recommended. Unencrypted passwords in the properties files may be visible to unauthorized users.

   The default algorithm is PBE-DES 56 bit encryption. To use the AES 256 bit algorithm instead, see Encrypt Passwords.

6. From the bin folder, use the following command to deploy the client:

   deploy-client.bat IA

   The deploy client script validates and deploys the default configuration you initialized in step 2. If the script detects a configuration issue, correct the problem and run the deploy client script again.

7. From the bin folder, use the following command to run aboutAssure.bat:

   aboutAssure.bat

   The aboutAssure script verifies the license and creates log files. The logs are located in <install_folder>\InfogixClient\logs\default\IA.

8. Install any client patches or fix packs downloaded in step 1 . Follow the client installation instructions included in the release notes for each patch or fix pack.
