Step: Run the IBM® installer
Before you run the IBM® master installer, verify that you have met the following prerequisites.
*
You have obtained the software products you plan to install, and you have put all of the installers in the same directory.
*
You have available the information you gathered as described in Step: Obtain required information.
If your company policy does not allow the installer to create and populate the Marketing Platform system tables during installation, see Step: Create and populate the Marketing Platform system tables manually, if necessary.
*
If you plan to deploy the Marketing Platform on WebLogic 9.2, do not include the Marketing Platform in an EAR file. See the WebLogic guidelines Guidelines for deploying the Marketing Platform on WebLogic for details.
See the other topics in this chapter for details about the installer, or if you need help entering information in the wizard.
Run the IBM® master installer as described here, and follow the instructions in the wizard.
*
GUI or X-windows mode
Run the IBM_EMM_Installer file. On UNIX-type systems, use the .bin file.
*
Console mode on Windows™
Open a command prompt, and from the directory where you placed the IBM® software, run the IBM_EMM_Installer executable file with -i console. For example,
IBM_EMM_Installer_N.N.N.N_OS -i console
*
Console mode on UNIX-type systems
Run the IBM_EMM_installer.sh file with no switch.
*
Unattended mode
Open a command prompt, and from the directory where you placed the IBM® software, run the IBM_EMM_Installer executable file with -i silent. On UNIX-type systems, use the .bin file.
For example, to specify a response file located in the same directory as the installer:
IBM_EMM_Installer_N.N.N.N_OS -i silent
To specify a response file in a different directory, use -f filepath/filename . Use a fully qualified path. For example:
IBM_EMM_Installer_N.N.N.N_OS -i silent -f filepath/filename
For more information about unattended mode, see Installing multiple times using unattended mode.
Pay close attention to the installation summary windows. If errors are reported, check the installer log files, and contact IBM® technical support if necessary.
