Downloading and assembling the product

The electronic images (eImages) to download are described by platform in the tabbed sections of this document. Download them as follows:

1. You can choose to download the eAssembly eImage for the platform, which contains the eImages for all of the components for that platform, or just the specific component eImage or eImages that you require. In either case, make a note of the eImage part numbers that you require and go to Passport Advantage Online. Use the part numbers in Passport Advantage to find each eImage and download it.

   On UNIX platforms, you might have to set the ulimit parameter to unlimited if the eImage you want to download is larger than 1 GB.

2. Unpack each of the eImages into the same temporary directory on your system.

3. Follow the detailed instructions in the Planning and Installation Guide to launch the launchpad, from which you can install the IBM Workload Scheduler components. The launchpad is included on each installation DVD.

   Instructions for running silent installations using response files are also provided in the Planning and Installation Guide.
