This document describes the process of installing and configuring WebSphere Portal Server v7.0 on a single IBM i machine. This document steps the installer through the installation, upgrade, and configuration of the WebSphere Portal Server environment and its related components. The document includes sections on databases transfer, security, and LDAP.
Starting with WebSphere Portal v7.0, the initial configuration is stored in the embedded Apache Derby database. You need to transfer this database to the native IBM i database.
Before you begin:
The IBM i operating system must be on the i7 or V6R1 level.
Refer to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Minimum Technical Requirements for EnterpriseOne Collaborative Portal, and install an updated group PTF, if necessary. See Minimum Technical Requirements in this guide for information on how to access the Minimum Technical Requirements document for Collaborative Portal v7.0.
Install a Windows workstation on the same LAN Segment as your IBM i machine.
During this installation process, you will IPL your IBM i machine to activate the Group PTFs. Check with your system administrator before you begin. Use the wrkptfgrp command to verify all PTF levels before installing any software. Verify you have all require PTFs media.
During the installation, you will be prompted for the LDAP Administrator's password. This is the IBM Directory Server (LDAP) Administrator account, not the QSECOFR account. Obtain the password from your system administrator.
Stop all WebSphere Application Server jobs which are running, such as QEJBSVR or QWAS7, it is recommended to stop the QWAS70 sub system before proceeding with the installation.
The recommended installation method is the same for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as for IBM. The installation includes this sequence of tasks:
Install WebSphere Application Server 7.0 (WAS 7.0)
Install WebSphere Fix Pack 11 (or higher as listed in the MTR)
Install and configure the WebSphere Portal Server v7.0
Transfer Apache Derby database to DB2 for IBM i/400 (optional)
Enable security (optional)
Verify the installation
This section includes information for setting up the operating system of your IBM i server for IBM WebSphere Portal v7.0. Other components might require additional steps; see the product documentation for the specific components you want to install for information.
WebSphere Portal can be installed locally or remotely using a Windows workstation (recommended).
You need the following information to install remotely:
Microsoft Windows 2003 or Windows 2008, 2008 R2 or Windows XP, Windows 7
Workstation CD-ROM drive (optional)
TCP/IP connection to the i5/OS system where you will install WebSphere Portal v7.0
The IBM i server must be in an unrestricted state
A valid user ID and password on the IBM i system
A user profile with a user type (user class) of *ALLOBJ and *SECADM to install and configure WebSphere Portal v7.0
You need the following information to install locally:
