Configuring the Helix ALM License Server connection
Before users can access ALM Data Warehouse, you need to configure a connection to the Helix ALM License Server. If you move the license server to a different computer or have connection issues, you can update the connection information.
Note: If the Helix ALM License Server database is in SQLite format, make sure that the SQLite Importer is installed and running on the license server computer before you configure the connection. See Running the installer and Starting the Helix ALM SQLite Importer.
1. Click Configure and choose License Server.
The License Server page opens.
2. Enter the license server Server address and Port. The default port is 5100.
3. Enter the license server Communications password.
The communications password provides additional security for communication between the Helix ALM product servers and the Helix ALM License Server. Enter the password to allow ALM Data Warehouse to communicate with the license server if a password is already used to communicate with other Helix ALM products.
4. If the license server database is in SQLite format, select License server uses SQLite.
Enter the SQLite Importer port. The default is 8191. Enter the SQLite Importer password. The password provides additional security for communication between the Helix ALM License Server and ALM Data Warehouse. The password is initially set when you install the SQLite Importer. To change the password, click Change password. See Changing the SQLite Importer password. The Change password link is not available when you configure the license server connection for the first time.
Note: If you no longer want to import from the SQLite license server database, clear the License server uses SQLite option.
5. Click Test.
A results message is displayed. If the connection fails, make sure you are using the correct server information and communications password. If the License server uses SQLite option is selected, make sure the SQLite Importer service is running on the computer that hosts the license server, and the importer port number and password are correct.
6. Select Import license server event tables to include license usage data in imports from the license server.
The data is added to LS_EVENT* tables in the ALM Data Warehouse database. Clearing this option can speed up imports.
7. Click Save and Close.
The connection information is saved.
