Updating Information Source, Source System

Insight and Perceive communicate to other applications with the use of an "Information Source" ( Insight ) and "Source System ( Perceive ). Situations may arise where these established connections may need to be updated from time-to-time, either due to a server migration, configuration update, middleware or server change, etc..

Updating these connection values within the UI only takes a few minutes and may be tested once saved to eliminate any guesswork on whether the new communication information is correctly defined. To update, please navigate to the following within the UI :

Insight

"Administration" > "Information Sources" > "custom information source"

Within your Information Source, you may update the values accordingly ( most commonly host names and passwords ) :

Once complete, you may save and test to ensure a successful connection is reached. Please note, Insight communication is a two-way street with Assure. The other values may be updated from the configuration files ( IA.properties, more specifically the "Insight Gateway" values ). Any updates to the Assure configuration files will require a "clean" / "validate" / "deploy".

Perceive

"Manage" > "Source Systems" > "custom source system"

Within your Source System, you may update the values accordingly ( most commonly host names and passwords ) :

Once complete, you may save and test to ensure a successful connection is reached.
