This diagram provides a high level overview of the installation process for InfoSphere MDM
Important: Before you begin the process of installing InfoSphere MDM, review the known problems. Some of the known installation problems require you to complete specific preinstallation configuration tasks. Failure to complete these configuration tasks can result in a failed installation.

The installation topics describe how to prepare your environment, including the application server and database, for installation of InfoSphere MDM and how to install InfoSphere MDM. You can run an installation in graphical or silent mode.

Before you begin installing InfoSphere MDM, ensure that you have downloaded all of the latest installation packages and fix packs required for your licensed edition and version. Refer to the Download IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management page to determine the part numbers that you should download from IBM Passport Advantage®.

IBM Installation Manager is also used to uninstall components and to modify an existing installation by adding or removing components.

Tip: You can download a PDF version of the installation topics.
Important: InfoSphere MDM version 11.4.0.3 (known as version 11.4, fix pack 3) introduced some critical changes in the installation process flow. As a result of these changes, the corresponding installation documentation changed significantly. If you are planning a fresh installation and you do not have version 11.4.0.3, then you should redownload the artifacts from IBM Passport Advantage. If you must install the product using pre-11.4.0.3 installation artifacts, then download and refer to the PDF of the pre-fix pack 3 version installation topics.
