Customizing the Sametime Proxy Server installation response file for IBM i

Customize the IBM® Sametime® Proxy Server installation response file on IBM i as part of preparing to install the Sametime Proxy Server on IBM i.

Before you begin

If you will install the Sametime Proxy Server with the Install Sametime Proxy Server guided activity, be sure to complete the Connect to DB2® prerequisite activity first to ensure that the Sametime System Console can access the Sametime Proxy Server's database during installation.

About this task

Customize the proxy installation response file.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the server using a profile with *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  2. Find the software packages you need to download.
  3. Download the packages.
  4. Extract all downloaded packages.
  5. Change to the /responseFiles directory in the location where you extracted the Sametime Proxy Server cumulative fix package; for example:

    cd /SametimeProxyServer/STProxy/responseFiles

  6. Make a copy of the IP_ssc_i.rsp file, using a name of your choosing. Store the copy in a location that the installation program can access.
  7. Customize your copy of the IP_ssc_i.rsp file with the settings appropriate for your specific installation, as described in Table 1.
    Table 1. Sametime Proxy Server installation response file parameters and values
    Parameters Values 
    <agent-input temporary='true' clean
='true' acceptLicense='true'>
    		 Change the value of acceptLicense to 'true' to indicate you agree with the license terms. 
    <repository location='../STProxy'/>
    		 The repository file location in the installation package. 
    <profile installLocation='/QIBM
/UserData/LOTUS/SametimeProxy'
 id='IBM Sametime Server Platform Proxy'>
    		 The installLocation is the directory in which you are installing the Sametime Proxy Server. The id must be consistent with the profile setting in the offering tag in this response file. 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
proxyserver.existingWAS'
 value='TRUE'/>
    		 Set this value to 'TRUE' because you must install WebSphere Network Deployment before you install Sametime Proxy Server. 
    <data key='user.was.installlocation'
 value='/QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere
/AppServer/version_number'/>
    		 Specifies where the WebSphere® Application Server is installed. 
    <data key='user.was.profilelocation'
 value='/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/
AppServer/version_number'/>
    		 The WebSphere Application Server profiles are stored in a profiles subdirectory of this location. 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
proxyserver.SSChostname'
 value='SSCHOSTNAME'/>
    		 Provide the fully qualified hostname of the Sametime System Console server you are using to install the IBM Sametime Proxy Server. 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
proxyserver.SSCportnumber'
 value='9085'/>
    		 Specify the port for connecting to the Sametime System Console server. 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
proxyserver.SSCusername'
 value='wasadmin'/>
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
proxyserver.SSCpassword'
 value='zN39fpCc9SqIryGJM7+02A=='/>
    		 Use the generateEncodedPassword utility contained in the install kit to generate an encoded form of the password.

    For example, zN39fpCc9SqIryGJM7+02A==

    is equivalent to a password of wasadmin

    		 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
proxyserver.SSCdepname'
 value='DEPLOYMENTNAME'/>
    		 The name of the deployment plan that you created for installing the Sametime Proxy Server. 
    <offering profile='IBM Sametime Server
 Platform Proxy' features='CEMain,
nossc,ssc' id='com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
proxyserver'/>
    		 The value of offering profile must be same as the profile's id (see row 3 in this table).
    Note: If you plan to install both the Sametime Meeting Server and the Sametime Proxy Server on the same computer, there are special considerations. Define a separate host name and IP address in addition to the default system host name and IP address. After both servers have been installed, you will be directed to update the Host Alias table for the Sametime Proxy Server so that it does not use the same host name and IP address as the Sametime Meeting Server. This is necessary for live names to work correctly in the meeting room.
  8. Save and close the response file.
