Configuring Information Console using VolumeProfile.xml

A volume profile obfuscates the iServer-specific parts of an Information Console URL from the user. To access iServer resources using only the server name for the Information Console instance, add a VolumeProfile=”ProfileName” in the URL to access the corresponding iServer instance.

For example, the following is a Volume

<VolumeProfiles>

  <Profile>

    <Default>true</Default>

    <ProfileName>fwh02835</ProfileName>

    <RepositoryType>enterprise</RepositoryType>

    <ServerUrl>http://fwh02835:8000</ServerUrl>

    <Volume>fwh02835</Volume>

    <DashboardTemplatePath></DashboardTemplatePath>

  </Profile>

</VolumeProfiles>

n	<ProfileName> is the name of this profile.

n	<RepositoryType>: allow two values - enterprise, workgroup.

n	<ServerUrl> contains server url, for example, http://server1:8000. If repositorytype is workgroup, serverUrl will be ignored.

n	<volume> is the volume name. If repositoryType is workgroup, volume will be ignored.

n	<Default> is optional. Valid values: true, false. Set only one default tag to true.

n	<DashboardTemplatePath> is optional. This is the repository path to a dashboard file that initially loads when users create new dashboards.

If a request contains a serverurl, repositorytype, or volume not defined in this file, Information Console generates a temporary profile name for this set of volume properties. A temporary name is not persistent and is lost every time the application restarts. If the request url does not contain serverurl, volume, and repositorytype values, Information Console uses the default profile for the request url. If there is no default profile defined, Information Console generates a temporary server profile having a random name and uses SERVER_DEFAULT, DEFAULT_VOLUME, and REPOSITORY_TYPE defined in WEB-INF/web.xml as the default values for serverurl, volume, and repositorytype.
