I am not able to setup the Rational Insight with SQL Server 2008 R2 database. It shows an error as follows:

" the information about the local database connection could not be validated due to an error. Ensure that there is no other database with the same name within the database management system and verify that the user name and password are correct.

CRRRA0077E: An error happened when validating the database. 'com.ibm.rational.rrdi.setup.db.common.RRDIDBException: CRRRD4794E: The user Administrator is not authorized to create a database. Refer to DBMS documentation for required user privileges to create a database. Error Code: 4794'. "


My Configurations are as follows:

I have installed Following packages
1. IBM Rational Reporting
1.1 IBM rational Reporting for development intelligence  2.0.1.0
1.2 IBM Rational Insight 1.1.1.1
After successful installation i have started
start > Programs > IBM Rational Reporting Server> Start IBM Rational Reporting Server Setup
After setting URI and admin account , From the Rational Reporting setup wizard i have selected Set Up Rational Insight Scenario
 On the Configure Database management System Tab
Step 1: Configure database vendor : SQl server 2008
Step 2: Copy JDBC File: <path of the JDBC driver>

Hi Rahul - Which version of JDBC driver for MSSQL are you using? Take sqljdbc_4.0 as an example, you need add the sqljdbc_auth.dll to your PATH variable before start Insight setup, to make it easier, just copy it to C:\Windows\System32 then restart the Setup JTS server.

This DLL file is distributed with the MS SQL JDBC Driver at:
auth\x64\sqljdbc_auth.dll    (64-bit)
auth\x86\sqljdbc_auth.dll    (32-bit)

Rahul - The problem here is you are using incorrect DBA account, you have to use a real system user (i.e., Administrator) who has the privileges to create a database.

Hi Xuan-
At the time of installation of SQl Server 2008 i have added PC Administrator account with Admin privileges but i am not able to login using username as Administrator.  I am able to login with username sa only in the SQL Server authentication mode Tab.

Hi Rahul - please confirm if you are using mixed authentication for your MS SQL Server installation. It is required by Insight setup.

Hi Xuan,
I have installed MS SQL server in the mixed authentication mode.
Now I have created a new user Admin with sysadmin privileges and able to login with the same.
Now the error message changed as follows

Hi Rahul - I'm suggesting you can un-check the 'SQL Server with Windows security integrated' and using 'sa' to create the local DB. Or if you have a pre-existing DB (your issue #2), you need create the 'rptuser' (if you are using SQL Server auth., pls create such user in your SQL Server management studio instead of a system user) and set valid privileges before run setup.

Hi Xuan- thank you again for your valuable answers.
Now i am have fixed the above issues and moved to the Configure Application server Profile Tab

I did not found the folder called appserver in my installation directory
1) Should i have to install the WebSphere Application Server separately or it will be installed automatic during the installation of IBM rational Insight 1.1.1.1 package ?.

Hi Rahul - Yes, you need install WAS by yourself before run Insight setup start from Insight 1111. After that, you will have a WAS folder, this panel is used to create Profile base on your WAS.

BTW - make sure you are using the same architecture of your WAS and Insight, see BOLD text in this panel.

Hi Xuan- I am using IBM WebSphere Server Version 6.1.0.0. I think this can be a problem of this issue...!!

Should i update to version 8.0..?


Xuan Jiang commented Mar 12 '13, 7:50 a.m.

Hi Rahul - I have not got chance to check your LOG files today. Yes, I'd like you upgrade your WAS to 8.0.0.5 which is fully tested version.

 Hi Xuan- I have installed IBM Web Sphere Application Server 8.0.0.5. but i have problem in the Configure  Application Server Profile Tab. It shows  error message " CRRRA0059E: An error occurred while creating a new profile: CRRRA2061E: the portdef.properties does not exist"  


Comments
Xuan Jiang commented Mar 14 '13, 9:05 a.m.

Rahul - Can you provide the rrdi_setup.log (, under RRDI\setup\logs\ folder, enable debug would be great, to do so, modify the log4j.properties at the same folder).

BTW - can you check if you have the portdef.properties under your WAS profile?

 Hi Xuan- Should i have to Install Jazz Team Server(CLM) additionally to configure the Tab Configure Rational Reporting User Authentication  or it is already installed into the machine while installing the Rational Insight setup or it's optional?

Comments
Xuan Jiang commented Mar 14 '13, 9:00 a.m.

Hi Rahul - To use the Rational Reporting User Authentication in setup, you need install CLM separately, it will not installed by Insight.

Anyway it is optional if you don't want enable Jazz Name Space or you want to use other name space provided by Cognos.

 Hi xuan- please find the Log Files from the below link

Hi Rahul - The log file is not depends on the missing portdef.properties - right?

In you log, I can see the following errors:

1. CRRRD4768E: The database has the incorrect Collation setting. The current value is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, but the expected value is CS.
If the DB is pre-existed (i.e., created by MSSQL Tool), you need change the setting by SQLServer management Studio else the DW connection may failed

2. CRRRD4757E: Error granting permissions for the schema objects.
You should not input RPTUSER as the report user because RPTUSER is not a valid system user (mixed SQLServer auth.) or DB account

3. CRRRD4780E: The schema RR_DW is not empty. No objects can exist under this schema.  Drop all objects before continuing.
Please don't use schema prefix (it is used for DB2 for zSeries)

Suggestion:
1. Drop all the temporary database (RIDW_NEW, RIDW_NEW1, RIDW_NEW2...)
2. Ceate a new one using MS SQL Server management Studio
3. Change the Collation setting to CS
4. Run Insight Setup, create related schemas
