Installing reporting schemas on the IBM EMM system

Use the IBM® EMM suite master installer and the reports package installers to install reporting schemas on the computer where the Marketing Platform is installed.

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to install reporting schemas:
  1. In the Reports Pack Product Components window, select Reporting Schema.
  2. If more than one option appears in the Schema Type Selection window, it means that the HCL application has prepackaged custom attributes. Complete one of the following tasks depending on whether custom attributes exist:
    • To install reporting schemas that include custom attributes, select Custom. The sample reports for Campaign are configured to use custom attributes. Therefore, if you are installing the Campaign report package and you want the sample reports to function correctly, you must select Custom.
    • To install reporting schemas that do not include custom attributes, except eMessage, select Base. For eMessage, always select Custom.

    The installer places the reporting schema in the file system and registers the schema with Marketing Platform.

  3. Complete the following tasks to verify that the reporting schemas are registered in Marketing Platform:
    1. Log in to the IBM EMM system as the platform_admin user.
    2. Go to Select > Configuration.
    3. Expand Reports > Schemas > ProductName.

    If you see the schema configuration properties for your application, your installation is complete.

    If the schema configuration properties for your application do not exist, the report package has not been registered, and you must register the reports package manually. Complete the following tasks to register the configuration properties manually:

    1. Open the import_all script from the tools directory under your reports package installation.

      The script is in the tools directory under your reports package installation.

    2. Set the value of the MANAGER_TOOLS_BIN_DIR variable to the path of the tools/bin directory under your Marketing Platform installation.
    3. Run the import_all.bat or the import_all.sh script.

      The script starts the Marketing Platform configTool utility and registers the schemas.

    4. Verify that the schema configuration properties are present.
