Installing IBM Integration Explorer

To use IBM® Integration Explorer only, without installing the complete IBM Integration Toolkit, use the IBM Integration Explorer installation wizard to install the IBM Integration Explorer.

Before you start:

Alternatively, to install the complete IBM Integration Toolkit, see Installing the IBM Integration Toolkit.
You can install IBM Integration Bus components and prerequisite products in silent mode on Linux, UNIX, and Windows. For more information, see Installing IBM Integration Bus components and prerequisite products by using the sample script file.
The IBM Integration Explorer installation searches the Windows registry for a version of WebSphere® MQ Explorer. If registry access is disabled by a local security policy such as "Prevent access to registry editing tools", the installation cannot find WebSphere MQ Explorer. Before you install IBM Integration Explorer, remove this restriction temporarily and reinstate it after the installation.

One version only of the IBM Integration Explorer can be active at any one time because one version only of the WebSphere MQ Explorer can be installed on any one system.

If you already have IBM Integration Explorer installed, and you decide to install a later version of IBM Integration Explorer, you must upgrade the existing version. For more information, see Migrating the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.

If you add another installation of WebSphere MQ after you install IBM Integration Explorer, you must install IBM Integration Explorer again to enable it in all WebSphere MQ installations.

To install IBM Integration Explorer on Windows or Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64, complete the following tasks.

Check the readme.html for any updates to these installation instructions. The readme file location is shown in System requirements.
Check that you have enough memory and disk space; for more information, see Memory and disk space requirements.
If you do not already have WebSphere MQ installed, install it before you install the IBM Integration Explorer.
Decide whether you want to install from a server, or to install locally on each system. These choices are described in Accessing DVDs for DVDs and for images that you downloaded from Passport Advantage® (if you are registered with the scheme). The instructions here do not differentiate between DVDs and downloaded images; their behavior is the same.
Decide whether to use the graphical installation, a console installation, or a silent installation.
- To use the graphical installation, continue with these instructions.
- To use the installation wizard with a screen reader, see Installing the IBM Integration Explorer by using console mode with a screen reader.
- To use a console installation on Windows, see Installing IBM Integration Explorer in console mode on Windows.
- To use a console installation on Linux, see Installing IBM Integration Explorer in console mode on Linux.
- To use a silent installation, see Installing IBM Integration Explorer in silent mode.
Open the installation wizard by using the executable file or binary file. On Windows, this file is install.exe. On Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64, this file is install.bin. These files are in the \IBExplorer directory on the DVD.
When you start the wizard, continue with the installation process by working through each of the following panels. The installation wizard itself contains help information about selected panels.
Select the language to use for the installation process, then click OK.
On the Introduction panel, click Next.
Read the software license agreement, select the option to accept the terms of the license, then click Next.
Enter (or browse for) a product installation directory for IBM Integration Explorer, or accept the default location.
On Windows, the default installation directory for IBM Integration Explorer is C:\Program Files\IBM\IBExplorer. On Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64, the default installation directory is /opt/IBM/IBExplorer.

If the product installation directory exists because you previously installed IBM Integration Explorer, click Refresh to refresh the existing installation or click Select to select a new product directory.
Click Next.
Read the summary panel. If necessary, click Previous to go back and modify earlier panels.
Click Install and wait while the files are installed.
On the Install complete panel, click Done.

After installing IBM Integration Explorer you must complete the following step:

To initialize the new installation of IBM Integration Explorer, run the following command from a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not run:
```
strmqcfg -i
```
To run this command, you must be the administrator or root user.

You can now use the IBM Integration Explorer. To start the IBM Integration Explorer, complete one of the following steps:

On Windows:
Click Start > All Programs > IBM Integration Bus 9.0.0.0 > IBM Integration Explorer.
On Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64:
Open a command shell in which the mqsiprofile command has not run and enter the strmqcfg command, or run /usr/bin/strmqcfg.

After you complete installation, see Verifying your IBM Integration Bus installation.
