Customizing ReportCenter Regions › Customize the ReportCenter Control Region

Customize the ReportCenter Control Region

Use the REPORTCENTER Customizer parameter group in the CA NetMaster region to generate the ReportCenter Java Task parameters and JCL procedures, create the ReportCenter HFS user directories, and set up the interface to allow communication between the data regions and the Java Task.

To configure the ReportCenter control region

1. In the CA NetMaster region, enter /PARMS to list the parameter groups.

   The Customizer : Parameter Groups panel appears.

2. Enter U beside the REPORTCENTER Customizer parameter group.
3. Complete the fields. Press F8 (Forward) to scroll through the panels. Press F1 (Help) for more information.

   Note: Refer to the items in your ReportCenter implementation worksheet to complete the panels.

4. Specify when you want the ReportCenter housekeeping and expiry services to run.

   Note: These services use the database; do not schedule them when the database is likely to be unavailable due to maintenance.

5. Enter the type of database, DATACOM or DB2, you are running in the Mainframe SQL Database Type field.
6. Complete the details for the specified database. Press F1 (Help) for more information.

   When you finish customizing the parameter group, press F6 (Action) to set the parameters immediately, and then press F3 (File) to save your changes. The group should initialize with no errors.
   Notes:

   • The first time you action this group on the control region, it creates and customizes the ReportCenter HFS directories and files. Most errors at this stage result from file permission problems. Other common errors are invalid Java or JDBC directory or file names. The file system must be mounted permanently and accessible on the system.
   • HFS files Adaptor.ini and Adaptor.bat may be overwritten or updated when you action the $WR REPORTCENTER Customizer parameter. If you have made any manual changes to these files, you will have to redo them. Generally, you should not edit these files unless instructed to do so by Technical Support.
7. Enter U beside the WEBCENTER parameter group.
8. Review the field values.
9. Press F6 (Action) to register ReportCenter to WebCenter, and then press F3 (File) to save any changes you made.
