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 instant messaging
Instant messaging features are provided primarily by the IBM® Sametime® Community Server, which supports presence, text chats, and two-way phone calls.
Installing Sametime® Proxy Server
The IBM® Sametime® Proxy Server enables browser-based clients to participate in Sametime instant messaging and online meetings. In addition, the Sametime Proxy Server works with Sametime Community Server or IBM Connections to enable the business card feature in Sametime, and with Sametime Unified Telephony or other TCSPI-enabled products to enable the Sametime click-to-call feature. The Sametime Proxy Server also provides live names awareness and can replace the Links Toolkit used in earlier releases of Sametime. Read the system requirements to ensure that you know the minimum supported software requirements.

Creating the Sametime Proxy Server database schemas and tables on IBM i

Run the createProxyDb.sh script to create the database schema for the IBM® Sametime® Proxy Server on IBM i.

About this task

On the IBM i system where you will install the Sametime Proxy Server, follow these steps to create the database schema and tables:

Procedure

Log on to the server with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
These authorities are required to create the database schemas.
Find the software packages you need to download.
Download the packages.
Extract all downloaded packages.
From an IBM i command line, run this command to start the QShell Interpreter:
QSH
Run the cd shell command, specifying the fully qualified path to the installation kit directory.
For example,
cd /ST_ProxyServer_Package/SametimeProxyServer/DatabaseScripts/ProxyServer
If the "STPROXY" schema does not exist on the system, run the following shell command to create the required database schemas and tables:
```
./createProxyDb.sh
```
When the script completes, press F3 to exit QSH.
Verify that the "STPROXY" schema exists.
