Whether you are deploying on WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Network Deployment, you must provide a certain parameter to the batch (or shell) file that you will use to start Monitor Installation Wizard.
If you are installing and deploying the Monitor on WebSphere Application Server v4, v5, or v6, you must provide the WebSphere Application Server home directory as a parameter to the batch (or shell) file.
If you are installing and deploying the Monitor on WebSphere Network Deployment v4, v5, or v6, you must provide the WebSphere Deployment Manager home directory as a parameter to the batch (or shell) file.
On Windows platform:
Open a command line window.
Type the following:
Set WAS_HOME=<WebSphere>
Type the following in the command prompt, and then press Enter.
In case you are installing on IBM WebSphere Application Server, type runwizard.bat <WebSphere>.
In case you are installing on IBM WebSphere Deployment Manager, type runwizard.bat <WebSphere_ND>.
On AIX or Solaris platforms:
Open a Terminal Console using root.
Type the following in the command line:
export WAS_HOME= <WebSphere>
Type the following in the terminal console, and then press Enter.
In case you are installing on IBM WebSphere Application Server, type ./runwizard.sh <WebSphere>
In case you are installing on IBM WebSphere Deployment Manager, type ./runwizard.sh <WebSphere_ND>
If you are deploying on WebSphere Application Server v6.0.x then you must provide the WebSphere Application Server profile directory as a parameter to this batch (or shell) file.
On Windows platform:
Start a command prompt window.
Type the following in the command prompt, and then press Enter:
runwizard.bat <WebSphere_Profiles>\<Profile_Name>
On AIX and Solaris platforms:
Start a terminal console as root.
Type the following in the terminal console, and then press Enter:
./runwizard.sh <WebSphere_Profiles>/<Profile_Name>
If you are using IBM DB2 as the database server on AIX and Solaris platforms only, make sure that you run the Installation Wizard with a user who is in the DB2 Administrators group. You should also run at least once the <DB2>/ db2profile file from the same terminal console from which you will start the wizard. In order to run the db2profile command:
Open a terminal console.
Change the directory to <DB2>.
Type the following in the command line and then press Enter:
./db2profile
Run the WBIMonitor424.jar file from the same terminal console.
You have to make sure also that the IBM JDK 1.4.0 is installed on your machine. Alternatively, you can use the IBM JDK that is shipped with IBM WebSphere Application Server.
To start the BI Monitor Installation Wizard, run the WBIMonitor424.jar file by doing the following:
On Windows platform:
Start a command prompt window.
Type the following in the command prompt and then press Enter:
java.exe -jar G:\WBIMonitor424.jar
Where G: is your CD drive name. Replace this name with the actual name of your CD drive or with the location where the WBIMonitor424.jar file exists.
If the java.exe is not included in the Path environment variable path then type the full path of java.exe (e.g. C:\WebSphere\AppServer\java\bin\java.exe).
On AIX and Solaris platforms:
Start a terminal console as root.
Type the following in the command prompt and then press Enter:
java -jar /tmp/WBIMonitor424.jar
Where /tmp is the location where the WBIMonitor424.jar file exists.
If the java is not included in the PATH environment variable, then type the full path of java (e.g. "/usr/WebSphere/AppServer/java/bin/java" in AIX platform or "/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/java/bin/java" in Solaris platform)
In the following sections of this chapter, you will be guided through the detailed steps of using the BI Monitor Installation Wizard to install the BI Monitor components.
