Pointing PMF to a Different Data Mart
Before making the switch to a different data mart, you
must switch to the data mart of the demo. Make sure that the backup
has been restored. If it has not, use the RDBMS tools to restore
the backup to a DB of the same name.
Next, point PMF at the demo by changing the SQL Server Adapter
connection, called mainstreet, to point to the restored database.

Procedure: How to Switch to a Particular Data Mart
-
Open the
WebFOCUS server console. This is usually located at http://[machine-name]:8121.
-
Click Data
Adapters in the top-left corner. This opens a list of
installed adapters that is displayed in the menu on the left, as
shown in the following image. For PMF, there should be two adapters
configured and one should be named mainstreet.
Note: All
of the images in this section will vary depending on the version of
WebFOCUS that you have installed.
-
Double-click mainstreet.
The Change Connect Parameters window, which displays all of the
connection properties, opens in the main window, as shown in the
following image.
-
In the Default
Database field, type in the name of the data mart you want to use
with PMF. Click Configure.
The Configuring Data Adapters page opens confirming that
the connection was changed, as shown in the following image.
The
database that PMF reports off of has now been changed.
-
The application
must be re-synched to the database for the switch to be complete.
Log on to PMF using pmfadmin in order to re-sync the application.
-
After logging
in, the resynch message will appear automatically, as shown in the
following image.
Click Resync to
start the resynching process.
-
Once the
application is in sync with the data mart, you will see a message
stating that PMF has been resynchronized, as seen in the following image.
