Installing a Sametime Proxy Server on IBM i

Run the installation script to set up the IBM® Sametime® Proxy Server on IBM i.

About this task

You can install the cumulative fix version of the Sametime Proxy Server without installing the version 9.0 server first. The updated version of the Sametime Proxy Server installs with the same procedure as the version 9.0 server, except that you will point to the repository provided with the cumulative fix package.

Procedure

  1. On the computer where you will install Sametime Proxy Server, log on as user with the *ALLOBJ and *SECADM authorities.
  2. Install IBM Installation Manager.
  3. Install IBM WebSphere Network Deployment.
  4. From an IBM i command line, run the following command to start the QShell Interpreter: QSH
  5. Configure WebSphere Application Server to use 64 bits by completing the following steps:
    1. Run the cd shell command to change to the bin directory of the WebSphere Application Server program installation directory; for example:

      cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V855/bin

    2. Run the following commands to set up WebSphere Application Server using 64 bit:

      managesdk -setNewProfileDefault -sdkname 1.7_64

      managesdk -setCommandDefault -sdkname 1.7_64

  6. Run the WRKSYSVAL to check the setting for the QVFYOBJRST setting; make sure it is set to 3 or less.
  7. Run the cd shell command to change to the Installation Manager /tools directory; for example:
    cd /qibm/proddata/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
  8. Run the following command to start Installation Manager and install the Sametime Proxy Server:

    ./imcl input /path_and_name of IP_ssc_i.rsp -log /log_path/log_name -acceptLicense

    For example,

    ./imcl input /ST9build/Proxy/IP_ssc_i.rsp -log /st9/logs/Proxyinstall -acceptLicense

    When the installation finishes, a summary of the results is displayed.

  9. Press F3 to exit QSH.
