Nonadministrative user considerations

If you are installing IBM® Business Process Manager as a nonadministrative or nonroot user and you want to create a test profile during installation, you must have the DB2 server installed before you begin the installation. Remember the database details so that you can enter them during the installation.

The considerations described in this topic apply to any install scenario where you choose to install using the Typical install option. Profiles are created automatically when you install using the Typical option.
Note: Test profiles apply only for use with an IBM BPM Advanced configuration.
To install as a nonadministrative user, you have the following choices:For Linux operating systemFor Windows operating 
systemFor UNIX operating system
Alternatively, instead of creating a test profile, you can create a profile after installation (this is the case for any install using the Custom install option). Use these steps:
  1. Install the product without creating a profile. When you install as a nonadministrative user, on the Install Packages page, you must clear the check box for DB2 Express. On Windows, if you have the option to install IBM Cognos Business Intelligence, you must clear that check box as well.
  2. On the Features page, expand the servers and make sure that none of the test profiles are selected.
  3. Use the Profile Management Tool to create a stand-alone profile, or to create the deployment manager and the custom profiles. If you do not have a database installed, use the Advanced path for all. Do not use the Typical path. Select the option to delay the execution of the database scripts during profile creation.
  4. If the databases were not created in advance. have the database administrator create the databases and tables after profile creation or augmentation.
  5. For a network deployment:
    1. Federate the custom profiles to the deployment manager.
    2. Using the administrative console, create the required deployment environment
Note: If you choose to use the DB2 Express database included (and optionally installed) with the product, you must meet the following criteria:
