Before you start
Before you start the Launchpad, do the following:
- Ensure that your OS/400 or i5/OS user profile has *ALLOBJ, *SECADM, *JOBCTL special authorities.
- Check that your OS/400 or i5/OS system meets the hardware requirements listed
at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbiserverexpress/.
- If you will be using the Windows client for the Tools Express
components, check that your Windows system meets the hardware requirements
listed at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbiserverexpress/.
- Check the following site for any available Fix Packs for your
product: http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/websphere/support/.
- On the Windows system, make sure that all Windows applications
have been shut down.
- On the Windows system, ensure that you have Windows Administrator privileges and a Windows user ID of less than 20 characters.
If this requirement is not met, an error message outlining the problem
will appear and the Launchpad program will terminate.
- The installation instructions throughout this document assume
installation from product CDs. If you are installing from ESDs obtained
from Passport Advantage, do the following:
- Refer to your Passport Advantage information for downloading
instructions.
- Extract all ESDs to the same directory on your hard drive and
install from the hard drive to ensure proper installer function.
Do not create CDs based on the ESD images
and attempt to install from them. If you do, installation can fail since
configuration utilities for some software prerequisites might not
be packaged with the ESDs containing the actual prerequisite software.
- Ensure that the component folders of the directory into which
you extract the ESDs have no spaces in their names. For instance,
C:\Program Files\WBISE is not a valid directory because the folder
Program Files has a space in its name. C:\WBISE is a valid directory
because the folder WBISE does not have a space in its name.
- Ensure that you have administrator privileges to create a new
database and add new users.
