Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.
Deploying an instant messaging gateway for external communities
Clients in a local IBM® Sametime® community can communicate with users in other communities through the Sametime Gateway.
Installing a Sametime® Gateway Server on IBM® i
Install one or more IBM® Sametime® Gateway Servers. Read the system requirements to ensure that you know the minimum supported software requirements.
Choosing an installation method for a Sametime® Gateway Server
Install an IBM® Sametime® Gateway Server. This section provides procedures for installing a single server and installing a cluster of servers. When installing a cluster, you install a deployment manager server, SIP and XMPP proxy servers, a primary server, and at least one additional server on its own computer. You can install the primary server and deployment manager on the same computer, or each on its own computer. For better performance, install the SIP and XMPP proxy servers on their own computer; however, they can share a computer with other components of the cluster if necessary.
Installing Sametime® Gateway Servers in a cluster
Install a cluster of IBM® Sametime® Gateway servers in a network deployment.
Creating a cluster and proxy servers
Create a Sametime® Gateway cluster, install proxy servers, and then configure the proxy servers to use the cluster. Set up node replication only if you need high availability and failover, and then start the cluster.
Creating Common Event Infrastructure data source for IBM® i
The Common Event Infrastructure data source must be manually created on IBM® i after running the configuration wizard to create a Sametime® Gateway cluster. These steps apply to clustered deployments only.

Creating Common Event Infrastructure data source for IBM i

The Common Event Infrastructure data source must be manually created on IBM® i after running the configuration wizard to create a Sametime® Gateway cluster. These steps apply to clustered deployments only.

Before you begin

Expected state: the deployment manager is running and nodes are stopped.

Procedure

Log into the Integrated Solutions Console (http://localhost:9060/ibm/console) and select Resources > JDBC > Data sources.
Set the scope to Cluster=SametimeGatewayCluster
Click New.
Type the data source name:
```
CommonEventInfrastructure_Bus
```
Type the JNDI name:
```
jdbc/com.ibm.ws.sib/SametimeGatewayCluster-CEI.DM_cell_name.BUS
```
Where DM_cell_name is the cell name of the deployment manager which is input in the installation of the deployment manager.
Select the existing Event_DB2iSeries_JDBC_Provider and click Next.
Type the server name. This is the hostname of the IBM i system where your database schema is located.

For the Component-managed auth alias, select:

DM_cell_name/SametimeGatewayCluster/EventAuthDataAliasDB2iSeries

and then click Next.

Deselect CMP
Click Next.
Click Finish.
Click the data source you just created, CommonEventInfrastructure_Bus, to see its properties.
In the "Additional Properties" section, select Custom Properties.
Select the property named libraries.
Set the Value to the name of the schema you are using for the Sametime Gateway cluster.
Select OK.
Save your changes to the configuration.
Select Resources > JDBC > JDBCProviders .
Select the Event_DB2iSeries_JDBC_Provider.

Change the Class path to:

/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/jt400/lib/jt400Native.jar

Click OK and then Save to save your changes to the configuration.
