Why interactive installers? Greatly reduces the time and effort of installing the IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector component Installer creates all required J2EE resources and deploys Diameter web services applications The IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector V7.2.0 includes an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for installation and uninstallation, along with silent installation and uninstallation methods Interactive Installer greatly reduces the time and effort of installing the IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector component. Manual installation requires creation of all the J2EE resources such as JDBC providers, data sources, and so on. But the interactive installer creates all the required J2EE resources and deploys Diameter web services applications. The IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector version 7.2 includes an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) install and uninstall. This helps a new user install IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector without any difficulty. IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector version 7.2 also provides the silent install and uninstall options. Installation prerequisites Installation prerequisites Desired WebSphere Application Server topology (single server or ND/cluster) should be installed and configured A supported database (DB2® or Oracle) should be installed for the subscribe and notification functions of Sh and or Ro. See “Preparing the database” section of IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector Information Center: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wtelecom/v7r2m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.diameter.doc/home.html Selected database JDBC jars should be installed on each of the WebSphere nodes including the DMGR Node This slide lists the installation prerequisites. - Desired WebSphere Application Server topology should be installed and configured. WebSphere Application Server should be installed with a single server or cluster created. - A supported database, either DB2 or Oracle, should be installed. This is used for the subscribe and notification functions of Diameter component. For more information, see “Preparing the database” section of IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector Information Center (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wtelecom/v7r2m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.diameter.doc/home.html). - The selected database JDBC jars should be installed on each of the WebSphere nodes, including the Deployment Manager Node.

This log file is NLS translated. This log file includes the IA® standard logging and the custom code log. Trace file: A trace file (IMS_Connector_InstallTrace.log ) is created by the IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector installer at /tmp directory. This trace file contains detailed step by step log and primarily used for problem determination by support personnel. This trace file is also used for initial debugging. Problem determination for IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector can be done through two files - the log file and the trace file. Log file is created at WAS_HOME/logs directory. This log file includes the InstallAnywhere interactive installer standard logging and the custom code log. The trace file is typically used for problem determination. It is created at the /tmp directory. This trace file is also used for initial debugging.
