Installation of InfoSphere MDM v11.6.0.0, v11.6.0.1, or v11.6.0.2 with WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5.12 fails when using IBM Installation Manager GUI mode

Resolving The Problem

Performing a new installation of InfoSphere MDM v11.6.0.0/v11.6.0.1/v11.6.0.2 on WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5.12 using the IBM Installation Manager GUI panels

Option 1:

1. Open the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions console (admin console).
2. Go to System Administration > Deployment Manager > Java and Process Management > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom Properties.
3. Add the property com.ibm.ws.management.connector.soap.disableSOAPAuthCheck with a value of true.
4. Restart the Deployment Manager.

Optional: After the InfoSphere MDM installation is complete, delete the property com.ibm.ws.management.connector.soap.disableSOAPAuthCheck and restart the Deployment Manager.

5. Once the installation is complete, verify that the applications are started. If not, perform the steps mentioned in the following tech note: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22009597

1. Install InfoSphere MDM v11.6.0.0/v11.6.0.1/v11.6.0.2 on an earlier (pre-v8.5.5.12) version of WebSphere Application Server.
2. Upgrade to WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5.12.

1. Prepare a response file for the silent installation of InfoSphere MDM v11.6.
   Note: The sample response files for InfoSphere MDM are available under MDM Installable\disk1\StartupToolkit.
2. Set the value for the property 'user.L2.separate.install.config,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' to true in the response file.
   <property name='user.L2.separate.install.config,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='true'/>
3. Run the installation in silent mode using IBM Installation Manager.
   <IBMIM_HOME>/IBMIM.exe – silent –input <response_file> –acceptLicense
4. After the Installation Manager process is completed, navigate to <MDM_HOME>/properties and modify the following properties in the mdm_install.properties/app.properties file:
   a. user.trust.file.url=<trust_file_path> (e.g. /opt/IBM/profiles/etc/DummyClientTrustFile.jks)
   b. user.was.profile.home=<was_profile_home> (e.g. /opt/IBM/profiles/Node01)
5. Navigate to <MDM_HOME>/mds/scripts.
6. Run madconfig.sh Configure_MasterDataManagement or madconfig.sh Apply_Fixpack and continue with the regular installation process.
