How to connect remotely from Windows to the Planning Analytics Workspace admin tool on Linux

Troubleshooting


Problem

Unable to connect from Windows to the Planning Analytics (PA) Workspace Administration Tool that is installed and launched on Linux (through either Start.sh or admintool.sh). If PA Workspace is installed on Windows, there is no problem as the admin tool can be reached through the following URL: http://:8888 However, this does not work when PA Workspace is installed on Linux.

Resolving The Problem

By default, you access the Planning Analytics Workspace administration tool from the computer on which it is installed. To access the administration tool from another computer, you can set an environment variable.

About this task:
This task applies to IBM® Planning Analytics Workspace installed on a Linux OS only.

Important:
Running the Planning Analytics Workspace administration tool this way is not secure so you may want to restrict access to specific remote IP addresses using the OS firewall.

Procedure:

  1. In a terminal window, enter the following command:
      
    export ADMINTOOL_IP=<ip address>

    where <ip address> is the IP address of the computer that is running IBM Planning Analytics Workspace.
  2. Run the Start.sh script.
  3. Access the administration tool from the remote computer by copying and pasting the address shown in the command or terminal window into a browser window on the remote computer.
