DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the DB2 installer

You can install IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the DB2® installer.

Before you begin

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the installSAM installation script to install SA MP, you must meet the basic prerequisites for installing SA MP. See: Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP).

About this task

There are three methods for using the DB2 installer to install or uninstall:

DB2 Setup wizard (install, upgrade, or uninstall)
Silent installation by using a response file with db2setup (install or upgrade) or db2unins (for uninstall)
db2_install command (for install), installFixPack command (for upgrade), or db2_deinstall command (for uninstall)

Before installing SA MP on a given host, the DB2 installer queries your system for the following information:

Is SA MP on your IBM Data Server installation media?
Is SA MP already installed?

The DB2 installer calls the installSAM installation script to perform some parts of the SA MP installation operation. Instead of using the DB2 installer to install SA MP, you can call installSAM directly. For more information about using the installSAM installation script to install SA MP, see: Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the installSAM install script.

You can use the -l option with db2setup, db2_install, or installFixPack to specify where the installSAM script saves the SA MP installation log. For more information about the SA MP installation log, see: IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) install and uninstall logs.

Procedure

To install SA MP using DB2 Setup wizard, run DB2 Setup wizard and follow the instructions in the wizard.
The information about your system that the DB2 installer collects determines which panels appear in the graphical interface of the DB2 Setup wizard during install. For example, if you already have SA MP installed, then the DB2 Setup wizard will not display a panel to install SA MP.
To install SA MP using a response file, set the response file keyword INSTALL_TYPE to "CUSTOM" and then set COMP to "TSAMP".
In a response file installation operation, the default behavior of the DB2 installer is to install SA MP. If INSTALL_TSAMP is "YES", or if INSTALL_TSAMP is commented out or missing from the response file, the DB2 installer installs SA MP.

To prevent the DB2 installer from installing SA MP in a response file installation, set INSTALL_TSAMP to "NO".

Important: The INSTALL_TSAMP response file keyword has been deprecated in Version 10.1 and might be removed in a future release. Starting in Version 10.1, IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) is automatically installed when SA MP is a required component for other components selected for installation. For more information, see IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) is now automatically installed.
To install SA MP using the db2_install command or the installFixPack command, you can run the commands without any parameters specific to SA MP.
The default behavior is to install SA MP.

To prevent the SA MP installation, use the -f NOTSAMP option.

What to do next

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the installSAM installation script to install SA MP, follow the same post-installation steps. For more information about general post-install steps, see: Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP)
