Step 2: Review the product architecture
Step 3: Access and extract the software files
- To download the product from IBM Passport Advantage, follow the
instructions in the download document
at:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24039424 - From the downloaded compressed file, extract the Data Server Manager archive.For example, extract the archive into a new directory (setup_directory) such as:
- Windows: C:\DSM
- Linux and UNIX:
/usr/ibm/dsmImportant: Make sure that the user ID that extracts the files has write access to the new directory. The user ID that will run the setup program and the user ID that will run Data Server Manager also need write access to this directory.
Step 4: Set up Data Server Manager
To set up Data Server Manager interactively with the default product settings:
- From the new directory where you extracted the files, open the setup_directory/ibm-datasrvrmgr directory, and then run the setup.sh or setup.bat file to set up the Data Server Manager software for your selected platform.
- Accept the license agreement.
- Specify a user ID and a password for the default product administrator user. The user ID is specific to the product and is independent of operating system user IDs. Make a note of the user ID and password that you choose so that you can use them to log on to the web console after the setup is complete.
- If needed, update the default HTTP, HTTPS, and status ports that are used with the product. Tip: You can update the HTTP and HTTPS ports later from the page of the web console.
- Complete the product setup and wait for the product to start.
At the end of the setup process, the URLs for the web console are displayed.
Step 5: Access the web console and explore the product features
- Open the Data Server Manager web
console by navigating in a browser to the web console URL that was
provided when the setup completed, for
example: http://localhost:11080/
Specify the default administrator user ID log in credentials that you specified during the setup.
- Click one of the tasks on the Welcome page.
- When prompted, create a connection to a supported database.
- Explore the features in the product, including viewing performance data, exploring the objects in the database, or generating SQL or administration commands.
