Install InfoSphere® Optim™ solution components in console
mode if the computer does not have both a graphical user interface
and a web browser. Use the launchpad to install InfoSphere Optim solution
components on a computer that has a graphical user interface and a
web browser, such as a Microsoft Windows computer.
Before you install any components on a computer, ensure
that the computer can access the database that you are to use for
the Optim directory.
- You must obtain the connection string for the database and a user
account that the computer can use to access the database.
- The computer must have the appropriate driver to access the database
- If you are installing the components for a server, install the
driver software for the database.
- If you are installing the components for web applications, you
might need to obtain the JDBC driver for the database.
You might need to obtain the driver software
or JDBC driver from the database vendor.
If you are installing
the components for a web application server, choose the application
server that is to be used for the web applications. The web applications
are delivered with a configured version of IBM® WebSphere® Application
Server Community Edition. If you do not use this version of WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition, you must install and configure a different application
server.
