    Figure 4. Choose the Setup Type screen

    After you have selected Typical installation, the Software Prerequisites screen appears.

    Figure 5. Software Prerequisites screen
  3. The Launchpad displays the installation status of each prerequisite. Status values can include Not Installed, Optional, or OK, and for the database selection only, Not Configured.

    If any software program you require for your system has a status of Not Installed or Optional, you can use the Launchpad to either install it or to direct you to where to obtain it.

    To install a software program using Launchpad, click on the product or item name. Other selectable buttons or options become visible. For example, an Install button might become available. Select the Install button to begin the installation of the program. When the installation process for the software program is complete, you will be returned to the Software Prerequisites screen and the program name will have OK next to it.

    (Custom installation only.) If the DB2 Universal Database for iSeries is Not Configured, you can use the Launchpad to configure it. Click on the word "Database" to start; additional fields are displayed. Refer to Database installation and configuration for important information before you configure the database.

    Note:
    If you already have earlier versions of the prerequisite software installed on this system, refer to Upgrading software prerequisites for more detailed information about how the Launchpad will behave, and what you might need to do depending on the version.

    For more information on the installation of software prerequisites, including why you may need to install certain prerequisites, refer to the section Software prerequisites. Note that for a Custom installation, this screen will list more prerequisites than shown in the illustration. In addition, the screen will display prerequisites for both the OS/400 or i5/OS system and the Windows client.

    Once the software prerequisites required for your planned installation each have a status of OK, select the button labeled Install Product located at the bottom of the screen.

    The Software License Agreement screen appears.

  4. Read and accept the terms of the Software License Agreement by selecting the radio button beside the entry I accept the terms in the license agreement, then select Next.

    The RBAC Information screen appears.

    Note:
    If you are performing a custom installation and selected to install web-based tools, the next screen will be the web-based tools port configuration screen. It will be followed by the RBAC Information screen. Refer to Additional Custom installation information for information about the web-based tools port configuration screen, then return to this section to continue.

  5. To enable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), enter a User Name and password, then select Next.

    Make note of the User Name and password that you enter. You will need it later.

    Note:
    RBAC enhances the security of server access. The User Name and password provided will be used to create the server administrator role during deployment to the server. This information is stored in the InterChangeSystem.cfg file, with the password encrypted. Any additional roles or password changes regarding RBAC must subsequently be done through the System Manager.

    A summary screen appears.

    Figure 8. Pre-installation summary screen for components to be installed on OS/400 or i5/OS
  6. The pre-installation summary screen provides a summary of the installation selections you have made. All of these components are installed on the OS/400 or i5/OS system. Read over the information to make sure it is correct, then select Next.

    The installation process begins. A status bar appears, indicating that installation is underway. Various messages state what components are being installed or configured. This process could take some time, depending on your system.

    As the installation process begins, the installer verifies that enough disk space exists for the installation. If enough space does not exist, a panel will be displayed with only the Back and Cancel buttons enabled since installation cannot be completed with the provided disk space. In this case, you must free some space on the specified drive.

  7. When installation is complete, a Results screen may appear. If any errors occurred during instance creation, they will also be displayed on this screen. If you do not see a results screen before the summary screen, please view the QWBIDFT44.create log file to verify a success message at the end of the log. The log file is located on your OS/400 or i5/OS system in /QIBM/UserData/WBIServer44/Logs/QWBIDFT44.create. From the Results screen if it appeared, click Next. Otherwise proceed to step 8.
  8. A summary screen appears.
    Figure 9. Finish summary screen
  9. Click the Finish button.
    Note:
    If you are performing a Custom installation, proceed now to Additional Custom installation steps.

    A message appears informing you that the installation is complete and asks if you would like to launch the First Steps application. For more information on this application, refer to the section Using First Steps
