Configuring HCL InfoSphere Streams for use with Opportunity Detect

You must perform some configuration tasks in HCL® InfoSphere Streams to prepare Streams for use with Opportunity Detect.

About this task

Refer to the following chapters in the HCL InfoSphere Streams: Installation and Administration Guide for instructions on completing the Streams configuration for your Opportunity Detect installation.

Note: If you are using the First Steps application to complete the post installation tasks, the following tasks are required:
  • Configure the SSH environment for InfoSphere Streams.
  • Configure the InfoSphere Streams environment variables.
  • Generate public and private keys for InfoSphere Streams.
  • Verify the InfoSphere Streams installation.
  • Create and manage InfoSphere Streams instances.

In addition, see Monitoring and managing HCL InfoSphere Streams, for instructions on using Streams tools to monitor and manage your Streams installation: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSCRJU_3.2.1/com.ibm.swg.im.infosphere.streams.admin.doc/doc/ibminfospherestreams-instance-admin-main.html

In addition, perform the steps described below.

Procedure

  1. Update the JAVA_HOME entry in the .bashrc file of streamsadmin user.

    Change this:

    JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm/java-x86_64-60

    to this:

    JAVA_HOME=/home/streamsadmin/InfoSphereStreams/java

  2. Ensure that $JAVA_HOME/bin is added to the PATH environment variable.
  3. If you are using DB2, check the .bashrc file for both root and the streamsadmin user to verify that the Db2Instance variable points to your correct DB2 instance.
  4. Run the Streams dependency checker script.

    See the topic "Dependency checker script for InfoSphere Streams": http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSCRJU_3.2.1/com.ibm.swg.im.infosphere.streams.install-admin.doc/doc/ibminfospherestreams-install-prerequisites-dependency-checker.html
