Installing InfoSphere Optim solution components in console mode

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.

To install InfoSphere Optim Solution components in console mode:
  1. To install as administrator, log in as root or use the su command to obtain root privileges.
  2. Open a terminal window, navigate to the root directory of the launchpad image, enter ./consoleinstall.sh, and complete the steps in the console mode wizard. You must first install IBM Installation Manager if it is not already installed. You can then install packages one at a time in any order. You must re-enter ./consoleinstall.sh to run the console mode wizard for each package.
After installation is complete, use Installation Manager to manage installations. You can use Installation Manager in console mode to modify, update, and uninstall packages.
