Installing using Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Software

This topic describes how to install WebSphere® Sensor Events and its prerequisite software using Tivoli® Provisioning Manager for Software.

Before you begin
Important: These instructions apply only if you are using Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Software to install the WebSphere Sensor Events software on Windows® operating systems.

Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Software is recommended for deploying multiple WebSphere Sensor Events servers. It helps to automate the installation of the prerequisite software across multiple servers. Some steps must be performed manually on each server.

Procedure
  1. Check your hardware and operating system and make sure that they meet the necessary requirements.
  2. Install Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Software using the instructions in the Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Software documentation.
  3. Discover your endpoints (one for each WebSphere Sensor Events server) for Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Software.
  4. Install the common agent on each endpoint server. If you are installing DB2®, make sure to set the common agent as LOCAL_SYSTEM on the client server.
  5. Set up Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Software to install the prerequisite software for WebSphere Sensor Events.
    1. Copy the contents of the TPM directory from the second disk for WebSphere Sensor Events for Windows operating systems to the Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Software server's C: drive.
    2. Copy the WASEC61 directory from the second WebSphere Sensor Events disk to C:\IBM\SIF\isp\windows\cdimages\WASEC61.
    3. Extract disk_root\bin\com\ibm\jsdt\webserver\tree\ihswin.xx.jar from the first WebSphere Sensor Events disk to C:\IBM\SIF\isp\windows\cdimages\WASND61.
    4. Extract disk_root\bin\com\ibm\jsdt\webserver\tree\waswin.xx.jar from the first WebSphere Sensor Events disk to C:\IBM\SIF\isp\windows\cdimages\WASND61.
    5. Extract disk_root\bin\com\ibm\jsdt\webserver\tree\db2win.xx.jar from the first WebSphere Sensor Events disk to C:\IBM\SIF\isp\windows\cdimages\DB2WSE95.
      Note: If you are installing DB2, the provided response file uses the DB2 user name, db2admin, and the password, Passw8rd. The response file is located at disk_root\TPM\IBM\SIF\isp\windows\bin\DB2WSE95FP3A\SifInstall_DB2WSE95.rsp
    6. Extract disk_root\bin\com\ibm\jsdt\webserver\tree\mqwin.xx.jar from the first WebSphere Sensor Events disk to C:\IBM\SIF\isp\windows\cdimages\MQ6.
    7. Extract disk_root\bin\com\ibm\jsdt\webserver\tree\mq6rp2fp5win.xx.jar from the first WebSphere Sensor Events disk to C:\IBM\SIF\isp\windows\cdimages\MQ602FP5.
  6. Open the software packages in the Software Package Editor. You can launch Software Package Editor through Java™ Web Start or in an Eclipse environment.
  7. Create the software package block by selecting File > Save > Save to repository and choosing LocalFileRepository.

    If you navigate to Software Management > Manage Software Catalog or if you open a software package block using the Software Package Editor, you should see the list of packages in the repository (LocalFileRepository).
