Preparing to install the Sametime Community Server from a downloaded image on IBM i

Follow these steps to download the installation package for the Sametime® Community Server for IBM® i. If you are installing from physical media, skip this step.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the IBM i server where you will install Sametime Community Server, using a profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  2. On any IBM i command line, run the following commands to create a library plus the empty save files that are needed for installing the latest version of Sametime software:
    CRTLIB MYLIB
    CRTSAVF MYLIB/Q5724J23IM
    
  3. From the server where you downloaded and extracted the package, transfer the Q5724J23IM binary file to the IBM i server where you will install Sametime Community Server.

    For example, you can transfer the file using FTP with the following commands:

    ftp Server_name_or_IP_address
    username User_name
    password password
    bin 
    put Q5724J23IM MYLIB/Q5724J23IM
    quit
