Configure WebSphere Commerce to interact with LikeMinds

To enable WebSphere Commerce Server to access the LikeMinds database configure WebSphere Commerce in WebSphere Application Server. LikeMinds cannot be installed in WebSphere Commerce Developer.

The configuration script performs the following tasks:

1. Creates a LikeMinds datasource

2. Configures WebSphere Commerce to access the LikeMinds datasource

3. Tests the LikeMinds datasource

4. Enables the LikeMinds component within WebSphere Commerce

Procedure

1. Navigate to the following directory:

   • /WC_PROFILE/bin

   • \WC_PROFILE\bin

2. Launch the wsadmin shell using the following command:

   • wsadmin.sh -f setupLikeMindsConnection.jacl NodeName WCServerName 
         JDBCProviderName DbType JDBCDriver 
         DatasourceName DataBaseName DataBaseUser 
         DataBasePassword DataBaseServer DataBasePort
     

   • wsadmin.bat -f WC_INSTALL/bin/setupLikeMindsConnection.jacl NodeName 
         WCServerName JDBCProviderName DbType 
         JDBCDriver DatasourceName DataBaseName 
         DataBaseUser DataBasePassword DataBaseServer DataBasePort
     

   Where:

   NodeName

   The WebSphere Application Server node name.

   ServerName

   The name of the WebSphere Commerce server to configure.

   JDBCProviderName

   The name to of the JDBC provider associated with the LikeMinds Personalization Server.

   DbType

   The type of database to use. This must be one of:

   • db2

   • db2_iseries_toolbox

   • db2_iseries_native

   • oracle

   JDBCDriver

   The fully qualified path of the JDBC driver. This should be the same JDBC driver.

   Windows users must use forward slashes '/' to denote path structures, instead of backslashes '\'.

   DatasourceName

   The name of the LikeMinds datasource. This should be the same LikeMinds datasource.

   DataBaseName

   The name of the LikeMinds database.

   DataBaseUser

   The ID to use to connect to the LikeMinds database.

   DataBasePassword

   The password associated with the ID.

   DataBaseServer

   Required: The name of the server on which the database resides.

   DataBasePort

   Required: The port number used during database creation. If a port number was not used during database creation, a port number of 50000 should be used if the DbType is db2 or 1521 should be used if the DbType is oracle.

   For example:
   

   ./wsadmin.sh -f /usr/WebSphere/CommerceServer70/bin/setupLikeMindsConnection.jacl WC_demo_node server1 "demo - WebSphere Commerce JDBC Provider" 
   db2 "/opt/IBM/db2/V9.5/java/db2jcc.jar" "WCS LikeMinds Data Source" dbName dbUser dbPassword DatabaseServername 50000 
   

   
   

   wsadmin.bat -f c:/WebSphere/CommerceServer70/bin/setupLikeMindsConnection.jacl WC_demo_node server1 "demo - WebSphere Commerce JDBC Provider" 
   oracle "C:/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar" "WCS LikeMinds Data Source" dbName dbUser dbPassword DatabaseServername 1521
