Collecting data warehouse data with the Data Collection Component

Use the Data Collection Component to extract data from the data warehouse. Set up the data collection jobs to extract the data that you need.

1. Start the application server, which hosts the Jazz® Team Server and Data Collection Component. For details, see Deploying and starting the server topic.
   For the application server, you have the following options:

   WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile

   You can quickly get started with running data collection jobs by running WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile application server that is packaged with the Jazz Team Server. The Data Collection Component by default occupies the same ports as the Jazz Team Server: 9080 for HTTP and 9443 for HTTPS. If you need to change the ports, backup your server.xml file located in <JTSInstallDir>\JazzTeamServer\server\liberty\servers\clm directory and edit the appropriate port numbers in the server.xml file. This server.xml file is created only after the first-time you start the Liberty Profile server.

   WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile example:

   1. To start the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile server that is packaged with the Jazz Team Server:
      • In a command prompt, start the server from [JTSInstallDir]\JazzTeamServer\server\server.startup.bat
      The Liberty Profile server successfully starts when the console outputs the message: Server clm started.
      Tip: On the Windows operating system, the Liberty Profile server does not run in a visible console window.
      Here is an example of the console output when the Liberty Profile server is first created and started:

      Server clm created.
      4547 File(s) copied
      Starting server clm.
      Server clm started.

   2. If you want to later stop Liberty Profile that is packaged with the Jazz Team Server:
      • In a command prompt, stop the server from [JTSInstallDir]\JazzTeamServer\server\server.shutdown.bat
      The Liberty Profile server successfully stops when the console outputs the message: Server clm stopped.

   WebSphere Application Server

   If you want to administer the Data Collection Component application in an enterprise environment, you can install and configure a new or existing WebSphere Application Server. For details on configuring Data Collection Component application in WebSphere Application Server, see Deploying and starting WebSphere Application Server topic.

   WebSphere Application Server example:

   1. To start the WebSphere Application Server by running the following command:

      <WASInstallDir>\profiles\<profile_name>\bin\StartServer.bat server1

      For example:

      C:\Program Files\ibm\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\DCCProfile\bin\StartServer.bat server1

   2. If you want to later stop the WebSphere Application Server, you can run the following command:

      <WASInstallDir>\profiles\<profile_name>\bin\StopServer.bat server1

      For example:

      C:\Program Files\ibm\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\DCCProfile\bin\StopServer.bat server1

2. Open a web browser to the dedicated Data Collection Component location.

   The URL is https://<server>:<port>/dcc/web, where <server> is the fully qualified domain name or localhost and the context root is /dcc/web.

   Example:

   In a web browser, type the address: https://localhost:9443/dcc/web

3. When you are prompted, provide your user ID and password to authenticate the Data Collection Component application set up on the Jazz Team Server.

   The user ID must be a member in the JazzAdmins group.

   Example:

   1. Default user ID (case-sensitive): ADMIN
   2. Default password (case-sensitive): ADMIN
   3. Click Log In.

   Tip: If the Data Collection Component is not registered with a Jazz Team Server, one of the following error messages displays in the web browser:

   Error!
   
   Data Collection Component could not be loaded due to a syntax error or missing dependency.
   Page ID: com.ibm.rational.datacollection.web.ui.internal.pages.DataCollectionManagementPage

   HTTP Status 503 - CRJAZ1173W The com.ibm.rational.datacollection.service.internal.web.IWebRedirector service is not available.

   For details on how to register Data Collection Component with the Jazz Team Server, see Running the setup by using Custom setup in the setup wizard.
4. If this is your first time opening the Data Collection Component application, you might get the following error message:

   Failed to load Licenses Data Collection resource.
   Error 500: CRRCD9002E The Data Collection Component is still initializing. Refresh the page a few minutes later.

   You must wait a few minutes as the application is initializing and goes into a loading state. You can determine the initialization is complete, when you refresh the web browser and the pages in the Data Collection Component are populated. For example, in the Data Collection Configuration page, wait for the sections under Data Warehouse Properties and Data Collection Properties to populate.
   Learn more about Data Collection Configuration and Administration pages:

   The Data Collection Configuration page displays and lets you manage the essential settings for the Data Collection Component.

   Advanced settings that are common settings amongst the administration pages for the ELM applications are available for the Data Collection Component. To go the administration page for Data Collection Component, select one of the following options:

   • When the Data Collection Component page (for example https://localhost:9443/dcc/web) is open in your web browser, you can click the Administration icon from the product banner and select Manage Application. The administration page for Data Collection Component page opens in the web browser with the page title: Administration - Data Collection Component (/dcc)
   • Alternatively, open a web browser to https://<server>:<port>/dcc/admin. For example, https://localhost:9443/dcc/admin
5. Test the data warehouse connection.
   Example:

   1. On the left-pane of the Data Collection Component application, under the Configuration section, click the Data Collection Configuration link.
   2. On the Data Collection Configuration page, click the Test Connection button.
   3. A successful data warehouse connection displays the message: Connection tested successfully.

      A failed data warehouse connection displays the message: Failed to connect to the data warehouse. For more details, click the show details link.

6. Configure resource groups.
   Important: This step is required if you want to collect data from any of the following sources:

   • Engineering Lifecycle Management applications on a remote Jazz Team Server
   • IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS®

   When you run Data Collection Component on a local Jazz Team Server, resource groups are automatically setup for the ELM applications and data warehouse that are registered on this same Jazz Team Server. You can continue to the next step as you are ready to collect data from applications on the local Jazz Team Server.

   Resource Groups are the applications containing the data that you want to collect and register in Data Collection Component to run data collection jobs against.

   Data Collection Component supports collecting data from the following ELM applications:

   • Jazz Team Server
   • Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next
   • IBM Engineering Workflow Management
   • IBM Engineering Test Management

   And from the following non-ELM applications:

   • Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS)
     Important:

     Before you can collect data from DOORS, you must prepare the data in DOORS. See Configuring DOORS data for external applications.

   In addition, there is a special resource group which is the data warehouse. This data warehouse is needed as a data source to create the fact and dimension tables for the data-mart. Under the Reporting Data Warehouse Database section, the username, password, and URL to the data warehouse must be specified.

   Before running data collection jobs, applications must be registered in Data Collection Component as resource groups. Resource groups are automatically configured for ELM applications and data warehouse that are registered on same Jazz Team Server as Data Collection Component. For ELM applications, you can discover applications that are registered with a local or external Jazz Team Server or you can manually add the resource groups. For non-ELM applications, you must manually add the resource groups.

   Example:

   1. On the left-pane of the Data Collection Component application, under the Configuration section, select the Resource Group Configuration link.
   2. To automatically detect applications that are registered with your Jazz Team Server, on the Resource Group Configuration page, click Discover. You have the option to discover ELM applications on either a local or remote Jazz Team Server one at a time, however you can repeat this step to register a mixture of local and remote resource groups:
      • To discover ELM applications on a local Jazz Team Server:
        1. In the Add Resource Group window, you can view the list of ELM applications local to your Jazz Team Server where Data Collection Component is also registered. By default, under the Application Instance column, the check boxes are selected because the local ELM applications have been automatically added as resource groups, and ready for running data collection jobs against them.
      • To discover ELM applications on a remote Jazz Team Server:
        1. On the Add Resource Group window, select the Use an external JTS to discover applications check box. This check box allows you to discover ELM applications registered on a remote machine hosted in an external Jazz Team Server.
        2. In the JTS Root Uri field, specify the location of the external JTS: https://<hostname>:<port>/jts. For example: https://my.remote.host.com:9443/jts
        3. Click the Discover button to display a list of ELM applications registered on the external Jazz Team Server on a remote machine.
        4. For example, under the Application Instance column, select the following list of check boxes to the ELM applications on the remote machine to add as a resource group for collecting and running data collection jobs:
           • /rm
           • /qm
           • my.remote.host.com:9443/jts
           • /ccm
        5. Click OK.
        6. Back on the Resource Group Configuration page, under each of the product groups you will see the resource groups that have been added.
   3. To manually detect applications that are registered with your Jazz Team Server:
      Tip: If you want to add only ELM applications as resource groups, you can skip this step if you have already automatically detected and discovered the applications from the previous step. However, you must complete this step if you want to add non-ELM applications as resource groups.
      1. On the Resource Group Configuration page, choose and expand one of the product groups that you want to add as a resource group.
      2. Click Add. A resource group entry is added under the selected product group.
      3. Expand the resource group entry that was added under the product group.
      4. You must configure the location of the resource group by specifying the URL to the application registered on your Jazz Team Server. For example:

         Jazz Team Server

         https://<server>:<port>/jts

         Quality Management (QM)

         https://<server>:<port>/qm

         Change and Configuration Management (CCM)

         https://<server>:<port>/ccm

         DOORS Next

         https:/<server>:<port>/rm

         DOORS

         https:/<server>:<port>/dwa-rrtranslator

   4. For each of these resource group that was added, specify the additional configuration details, such as the authentication type, version, and unique identifier:
      1. In the Authentication type list, select the authentication setting of the resource group. The valid values are Username and Password, OAuth-JTS or Jazz Security Architecture SSO:

         Username and Password

         When you select Username and Password as the authentication type, the Username and Password fields are displayed. In the Username field, specify the user name of the resource group. And in the Password field, specify the password of the resource group.

         OAuth-JTS

         When you select OAuth-JTS as the authentication type, the Consumer key and Secret fields are displayed. In the Consumer key field, specify the consumer key obtained from the Jazz Team Server. And in the Secret field, specify the secret of the consumer key.

         Tip: If the resource group is local to your Jazz Team Serverwhere Data Collection Component is also registered, the Consumer key and Secret fields are automatically complete with the values configured when the application was registered and finalized during the Jazz Team Server setup.

         Jazz Security Architecture SSO

         This option is available, if you enabled Jazz Security Architecture single sign-on (SSO) authentication on all Jazz applications.

      2. In the Version field, specify the version-level of the resource group. For example, type 6.0 or 5.0 for the release of (ELM), or 9.6.1.6 for the release of DOORS.
      3. In the Unique Identifier field, you must specify a globally unique identifier that should never be changed in the future. This identifier is used to fill in the SOURCE_ID column of most data warehouse tables. For example "_8_QnwBLoEd2rmrYM7OkLOA". You can use a GUID generator such as www.guidgenerator.com to generate a unique identifier to copy and paste into that field.
      Remember: Under the Reporting Data Warehouse Database section, there is a special resource group which is the data warehouse. This data warehouse is needed as a data source to create the fact and dimension tables for the data-mart. You must configure the warehouse by specifying the username, password and URL to the data warehouse. For example for a Derby data warehouse, specify the following configuration settings:

      • Relational Database Type: Derby Client
      • URL: //localhost:1527/conf/jts/derby/warehouseDB
      • For the User name and Password, keep the default value to none.
      • For the Version, select the version-level of the resource group from 6.0 or 5.0 release.
   5. Click the Test Connection link for each of the resource group that was added.
      • A successful connection to the resource group displays the following message: Successfully connected to the resource group.
      • A failed connection to the resource group displays the following message: Failed to connect to the resource group. For more details, click the show details link.
   6. Remember to click Save button in the upper right-hand corner of the Resource Group Configuration page to avoid losing your newly added settings.
7. Specify the load type for the next data collection job.

   Full loads occur during the initial run of the data collection jobs, which builds all the data warehouse tables from scratch. These jobs take longer than typical data collection jobs that run delta builds, which only collect changes from the last time the job ran or a specified date. Any subsequent loads after the initial load or after running a job with a changed load type configuration, automatically defaults back to the Delta load since previous run setting.

   Remember: You must reserve full loads for populating a new or empty data warehouse database, and run delta loads for a data warehouse that is already populated with data.

   A full load can take a long period of time to complete, such as several days, depending on the amount of data to process. If you are required to do a full load, keep in mind that to generate complete and accurate reports, a full load needs to completely pull in all the data that exists in the configured resource group, for example a specified ELM application. Otherwise if a full load is interrupted, this interruption can cause your reports to contain incomplete or inaccurate data generated from a not entirely loaded data warehouse. In addition, an interrupted full load can cause the data collection jobs to fail.

   Example:

   You can change the next load configuration settings or keep the default load configuration at Delta load since previous run setting:

   1. On the left pane of the Data Collection Component application, under the Configuration section, select the Delta Load Configuration link.
   2. Under the Enabled column, select the check box of the resource group that you want to change the load configuration.
   3. Under the Load Type column, select one of the following load type option from the list:

      Full load

      This load job rebuilds all the data warehouse tables from scratch.

      Delta load since previous run

      This load job only loads the data that has changed or been added since the last successful load. This is the default setting.

      Delta load since date

      This load job requires you to specify a date to load the data that has changed or been added since the selected date.

   4. To apply the changes, click Save.

   Remember: When you change the next load job to a Full load or Delta load since date option, after the job runs with this load type, the load type setting automatically defaults back to the Delta load since previous run setting.
8. Decide which data collection jobs you want to run by loading, selecting, or removing any predefined or custom jobs.

   Custom jobs are jobs that you developed from a new or existing ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) .ttl file. For details on creating custom jobs, see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DataCollectionCustomizationUsingDCC

   Predefined jobs, also referred to as out-of-box jobs, are jobs packaged with the product. You can use these predefined jobs as samples when developing your own custom jobs. The predefined jobs are located inside the com.ibm.rational.datacollection.service.jar file in the following directory:

   • <installation directory>/server/conf/dcc/sites/dcc-updatesite/plugins/
     
     For example:
     C:\Program Files\ibm\JazzTeamServer\server\conf\dcc\sites\dcc-updatesite\plugins\com.ibm.rational.datacollection.service_<version>.jar

   If you want to view the predefined jobs, copy the com.ibm.rational.datacollection.service.jar to a temporary location outside of the product, and use an extraction tool to decompress the .jar file. You can find the predefined jobs in the /mapping directory inside the .jar file.

   Loading jobs:

   To load all the predefined (out-of-box) jobs and any jobs in the Data Collection Component mapping directory:

   1. If you want to run a job that you developed (custom job), you must add the custom .ttl job files in the Data Collection Component mapping directory. This directory is located at <installation directory>/server/conf/dcc/mapping. For example, place your custom .ttl job files into the following directory: C:\Program Files\ibm\JazzTeamServer\server\conf\dcc\mapping.
   2. In the Data Collection Jobs page, click the Load Jobs button.
   3. You must wait a few minutes for the jobs to load. You can refresh the web browser multiple times until all your jobs display in the Data Collection Jobs page.

   Remember: Each time the Load Jobs button is clicked, by default all the predefined jobs gets loaded with its default settings. In addition, any jobs in the Data Collection Component mapping directory also gets loaded.

   Removing jobs:

   To remove jobs that you do not want to run in the next data collection session:

   1. In the Data Collection Jobs page, locate the job that you want to remove.
   2. Under the Schedule column, hover and click the Delete data collection job icon ().

   Remember: If you click the Load Jobs button, your job removal selection may not persist. The Load Jobs action causes by default all the predefined jobs to get loaded with its default settings. In addition, any jobs in the Data Collection Component mapping directory are also loaded. The mapping directory is located in the <installation directory>/server/conf/dcc/mapping directory, for example: C:\Program Files\ibm\JazzTeamServer\server\conf\dcc\mapping.

   Selecting jobs:

   To select jobs that you want to run:

   1. In the Data Collection Jobs page, select the check box for each data collection job that you want to run.
   2. If you select a check box for a data collection job that is by default clear, a window pops up confirming if you are sure that you want to enable the job. The reason for the confirmation is because running this job can impact the performance of the corresponding applications and the overall time to collect data.
      Tip: Limit scheduling the Data-mart data collection jobs to run as infrequently as possible, for example at most once a day. In addition, jobs in this collection must never run individually. Processing Data-mart data collection jobs can take a significant amount of time because Data-mart jobs are not delta jobs and typically insert a lot of data in the data warehouse.

   Remember: If you click the Load Jobs button, your job selection may not persist. The Load Jobs action causes by default all the predefined jobs to get loaded with its default settings. In addition, any jobs in the Data Collection Component mapping directory are also loaded. The mapping directory is located in the <installation directory>/server/conf/dcc/mapping directory, for example: C:\Program Files\ibm\JazzTeamServer\server\conf\dcc\mapping.
9. Run the data collection jobs.

   You can choose to run all the data collection jobs, run a specific data collection, or run a specific data collection job.

   On the Data Collection Jobs page, you can see that the Data Collection Component categorize the jobs into data collections, such as Operational Data Store (ODS), Data-Mart, and Licenses.

   You no longer need to worry about running the jobs in a strict and proper sequence. The Data Collection Component offering is designed to improve performance by using parallel and concurrent processing. Jobs in a data collection, for example in an ODS data collection run in parallel concurrent process. But before the jobs in the Data-Mart data collection can start it needs to wait for the jobs in the ODS data collection to complete. The reason for this is because the Data-Mart data collection extracts data from the ODS data collection, transforms it using a set of rules, then loads it into the metrics tables as sets of point-in-time information and relationships. This process is cumulative, meaning that a new set of information is added each time the Data-Mart data collection job is run, resulting in a collection of many sets of point-in-time metrics and relationships. This type of data can be used for reports that show metrics, trends, aggregations, and other relationships among the data.

   Tip: Limit scheduling the Data-mart data collection jobs to run as infrequently as possible, for example at most once a day. In addition, jobs in this collection must never run individually. Processing Data-mart data collection jobs can take a significant amount of time because Data-mart jobs are not delta jobs and typically insert a lot of data in the data warehouse.

   Select your scope for running data collection jobs:

   Running all the data collection jobs:

   You can trigger the data collection jobs for all the registered applications at once. The jobs within an Operational Data Store data collection run in parallel concurrent process. However, before the jobs in the Data-Mart data collection can start it needs to wait for the jobs in the Operational Data Store data collection to complete.

   1. On the Data Collection Jobs page, click the Run all data warehouse collection jobs link.

   Running a specific data collection:

   You can trigger all the jobs in a data collection. The data collection groups are Operational Data Store (ODS), Data-Mart, and Licenses.

   1. On the Data Collection Jobs page, choose a data collection that you want to run:
      • ODS Data Collection
      • Data-Mart Data Collection
      • Licenses Data Collection
   2. Click the corresponding Run link available in the section heading of the data collection that you chose in the previous step.

   Running a specific data collection job:

   You can trigger a particular data collection job to run.

   1. On the Data Collection Jobs page, locate the job that you want to run.
   2. Under the Schedule column, hover and click the Run data collection job icon ().

   The status of each data collection job can change to one of these states:

   Idle

   The data collection job is inactive.

   Running

   The data collection job is currently in progress.

   Stopping

   The data collection job is terminating.

10. Monitoring the data collection jobs.

    On the Data Collection Jobs Status page, you can view your collection status. You can check what jobs have completed or currently running, and find the job logs.

    Example:

    1. Open the Data Collection Jobs Status page by going to the left-pane of the Data Collection Component application, under the Data Collection section, click the Data Collection Jobs Status link.
    2. To refresh and see what jobs are still running or completed, click the Refresh button () next to the Data Collection Jobs Status link. The Data Collection Jobs Status link is available on the left-pane of the Data Collection Component application, under the Data Collection section.
       
    3. You can view the list of jobs that are running under the Currently Running Jobs section, which displays the following details:

       You can select a date to delete all job history on or after the selected date.

       Delete Between

       You can select two dates to delete all job history inclusively between the two selected dates.

11. Schedule data collection jobs.
    After you are satisfied with the initial run of your data collection job, you have the option to schedule your data collection jobs to run in multiple intervals or times throughout the day. You can trigger to run a data collection job using either of the two schedule options:

    Interval schedule

    Runs a data collection job at every X amount of minutes of the day.

    Daily schedule

    Runs a data collection job at particular times of the day.

    Example:

    1. Open the Data Collection Jobs page by going to the left-pane of the Data Collection Component application, under the Data Collection section, click the Data Collection Jobs link.
    2. On the Data Collection Jobs page, choose a data collection group that you want to schedule the jobs:
       • ODS Data Collection
       • Data-Mart Data Collection
       • Licenses Data Collection
    3. Click the Schedule link available on the right-side of your selected data collection group.
    4. In the Edit schedule window, use the drop-down menu on the upper right to select one of the following schedule options:

       Interval Schedule

       1. By default the Enabled check box is selected to turn on the schedule. However, if you need to temporarily turn off the schedule, clear the Enabled check box, such as when performing a server rename. For details, see Impact of server rename on the Data Collection Component.
       2. Under the Interval group, you can specify to collect data every X amount of minutes, by typing a number in the Current time interval field. The minimum amount of minutes is 5.
       3. Under the Week Days group, you can specify to collect data on certain days.
          • To select the multiple days of the week, press and hold down the Ctrl key and click the days of the week you want to collect data. For example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
          • To select all the days of the week to collect data, click the All button.
       4. After you specify the interval schedule, click the OK button in the Edit schedule window.
          

       Daily Schedule

       1. By default the Enabled check box is selected to turn on the schedule. However, if you need to temporarily turn off the schedule, clear the Enabled check box, such as when performing a server rename. For details, see Impact of server rename on the Data Collection Component.
       2. Under the Times group, you can specify more than one particular time of the day that you want to collect data. For example, run a 9:00 am, noon, and before end of day 4:00 pm data collection job throughout the day.
          1. Click the Create Time button each time you want to add a time of the day entry.
          2. In the first drop-down menu, specify the hour of the day in a 24-hour clock.
