Install IBM Connections

Install IBM® Connections 5.0 CR3 or IBM Connections 5.5, including the WebSphere® Deployment Manager at the minimum fix pack level, and create a Connections cell to contain IBM Docs.

Note:
  • Any patches applied to the IBM Connections WebSphere infrastructure should also be applied to the IBM Docs servers.
  • Ensure all Connections nodes are available and accessible before deploying Docs. Otherwise, Docs Extension and Viewer Extension deployment will fail.
  • If you install IBM Connections 5.0 CR3 or Connections 5.5, and choose to add CCM, to integrate with IBM Docs, you must also install IBM Content Navigator 2.0.3 FP3 or above.
  • During the installation and upgrading process of IBM Docs, make sure Connections is running and functions work properly.
