Installing the Sametime System Console on IBM i

Run the installation script to set up the IBM® Sametime® System Console on IBM i.

Before you begin

If the computer where you will install the Sametime System Console supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, map the addresses to the same host name to generate matching SSL certificates.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the server using a profile with *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special 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/V85/ND/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 by running the cd command; for example:
    cd /qibm/proddata/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
  8. Run the following command to start Installation Manager and install the Sametime System Console:
    ./imcl input /path_and_name_of_ISC_i.rsp -log /log_path/log_name -acceptLicense

    For example,

    ./imcl input /ST9HF1/SSC/ISC_i.rsp -log /st9/logs/sscinstall -acceptLicense

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

  9. Make note of the URL for connecting to the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console; you will access both WebSphere and Sametime administrative features using that address.
  10. Press F3 to exit QSH.

Results

If the installation fails, review the installation logs stored in /QIBM/UserData/InstallationManager/logs for information about the failure. Fix the problem, and then install again.

The log name contains the date and time in this format: yyyymmdd_hhmm.xml.
