Locating Where PMF Components are Installed or Configured

PMF components extend WebFOCUS capabilities to accommodate PMF, as other WebFOCUS applications do. As a result, PMF components are placed in many parts of the WebFOCUS installation footprint.

Note: When upgrading, moving, or reinstalling a WebFOCUS environment, it is important to make sure the PMF components are backed up prior to the change and restored to their proper locations afterward. Deleting these files can cause issues with PMF capabilities.

Reference: Components Installed or Configured on the WebFOCUS Server Application Root

The following is a list of the PMF components installed or configured on the WebFOCUS Server Application root (/ibi/apps).

mainstreet: The main code repository for PMF.
pmfcustom: Standard location where any developed customized PMF components should be stored. Make sure to backup this component.
pmfdata: Storage for configuration files modified during PMF operation; also standard PMF fonts for installation on Windows client machines (to allow display of indicators in PowerPoint output).
pmfdbms: Database file backups for demonstrations, new DB and upgrade DDL scripts.
pmfdemo: Demonstration data and PMF source database snapshots.
pmfgadgets: Location for gadget procedures and components.
pmflang: Translated string files to support multiple languages (for example, English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Catalan, and so on).
pmfmss: A DBMS-specific directory. This directory depends on the RDBMS used with PMF.
pmfora: A DBMS-specific directory. This directory depends on the RDBMS used with PMF.
pmfdb2: A DBMS-specific directory. This directory depends on the RDBMS used with PMF.

Note: In multi-tier instances the application directories are installed both on the server and client.

Reference: Components Installed or Configured in the Font Storage Area

There are currently 24 PostScript font files (pmf01 to pmf08) added to enable icons in PDF reports in the Font Storage area (/ibi/srvxx/home/etc). Make sure to backup these components.

Reference: Components Installed or Configured in the Font Map Area

There are modifications made during PMF installation to the DHTML.FMP and PDF.FMP files to map the fonts needed for PMF PDF and PPT reports in the Font Map Area (/ibi/srvxx/home/nls). Make sure to backup these components.

Reference: Edited Server Configuration Files

The following is a list of the edited Server configuration files.

Edasprof.prf: The PMF application paths (mainstreet, pmfdata, pmfgadgets, and the master file folder - pmfmss, pmfora, or pmfdb2, and so on) are added to this server default options configuration file.
Odin.cfg: The EDASERVE alias for the standard LOOPBACK connection is added to this server communications configuration file.
Edaserve.cfg: The adapter connection used in PMF is edited into this file, if needed.

Make sure to backup these files.

Reference: Components Installed or Configured on the WebFOCUS Client

In the client basedir folder a PMF domain is added that contains all the tab launch pages for the WebFOCUS BID templates.

ibi_html/javaassist/images/tdg/template/: Contains three text files that control color pallets for graphing.
webapps/rcasterXX/samples/: Contains three PMF jsp files.
Note: These additions to the reportcaster webapps directory require decompressing/recompressing (“re-war-ing”) the ReportCaster WAR file after installation is complete. If these files are modified for a hotfix, they will also need to be decompressed/recompressed.
webapps/webfocusXX/worp/jsp/: Adds changes to a customized WebFOCUS BID login page, mainly used for PMF demonstrations. This file is distributed with WebFOCUS.

Make sure to backup these components.

Reference: WebFOCUS BID Files Added or Edited

worp/worp_custom/: Default Group View templates with tab sets for each Functional Role in PMF are added to this folder.
worp/worp_html/: A set of default BID skins is added to this folder to enable matching formats for the distributed PMF skins.
worp/worp_users: Sample default BID Group Views are configured for the bootstrap PMF users configured in the WebFOCUS MR environment, to enable quick display of the proper Group View tabs.

These are WebFOCUS BID templates that configure group views for PMF.

There is a database component that will be stored in the DBMS of your choosing (DB2, MS SQL Server 2000 / 2005 / 2008, Oracle) which will need a database adapter configured for it, as well as connectors for any data source that PMF information will be loaded from.

Make sure to backup these files.

Reference: Client Files Edited

Mrrepos.htm: The PMF MR Domain is added to this file to enable quick use of PMF in the customer environment.
Mpv.xml: The Group Views needed for use of PMF in WebFOCUS BID are configured here.
Site.wfs: Needed variable pass-throughs (security tokens, protocol & port) and use of global filtering file for the PMF Domain is configured.
Install.cfg: PMF installer inserts install key for PMF.

Make sure to backup these files.
