Installing IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface on IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5 or later

To install the module, you use the installation program for IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server, Version 8.5 or later.

Before you begin

  • For information about planning for installation, preparing the target computers, and installing the software, see the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide.
  • Ensure that IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5 or later is installed.
  • You must be a suite administrator to install the module.

About this task

This procedure describes starting the installation program in graphical mode. For multiple installations that use the same settings, you can install the module in silent mode by using a response file. For more information, see the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide. IBM InfoSphere QualityStage® Address Verification Interface is installed on the client tier, engine tier, and services tier. The client tier can be installed on only Windows computers.

When you install an additional product or tier after you install InfoSphere Information Server, you use the InfoSphere Information Server suite installer. The suite installer and the Update Installer share certain files. Therefore, you must install the latest version of the Update Installer on the suite installer media before you use the suite installer. You install the latest version of the Update Installer so that the suite installer code matches the version of the Update Installer on your installation.

Procedure

  1. Install the latest version of the InfoSphere Information Server Update Installer on the installation image of InfoSphere Information Server.
    For information about installing the Update Installer, see the section about installing an additional product or tier to an existing InfoSphere Information Server installation on the web page for your version.

  3. From the product CD or the downloaded image of the module, extract the archive file for your operating system.
  4. Copy the QSAVI directory into the is-suite\payloads directory of the InfoSphere Information Server installation image.

    You must copy the QSAVI directory into the InfoSphere Information Server payloads directory for the installation program to recognize the IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface product module. If you do not copy the directory, you cannot install the module.

    1. Change to the is-suite directory of the InfoSphere Information Server installation image.
    2. Enter ./setup.
    Windows
    1. Navigate to the is-suite directory of the InfoSphere Information Server installation image.
    2. Double-click the setup.exe file.
    Important: This step only starts the installation program. For the complete instructions about starting the installation program, see the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide.
  6. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. When you reach the Product Selection page of the installation program, choose one of the following options:
    • If IBM InfoSphere QualityStage is already installed, select the IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface v10 check box.
    • If IBM InfoSphere QualityStage is not installed, select the IBM InfoSphere QualityStage and IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface v10 check boxes.
  7. On the Windows client computers, install the client tier:
    1. From the product CD or the downloaded image of the module, extract the archive file for the Windows operating system.
    2. Copy the QSAVI directory into the is-client\payloads directory of the InfoSphere Information Server client installation image.
    3. Navigate to the is-client directory of the InfoSphere Information Server client installation image.
    4. Double-click the setup.exe file.
    5. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. When you reach the Product Selection page of the installation program, select the IBM InfoSphere QualityStage and IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface v10 check boxes.
