Before you begin

If you install pureQuery Runtime with Optim™ Performance Manager Extended Edition, see Installing InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime with products that contain common software components for information about the installation locations that you can choose.

About this task

The following steps describe how to install from an electronic image on a shared drive so that users in your enterprise can access the installation files for InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime for Linux, UNIX, and Windows from a single location. These steps are performed by the user that places the installation image on a shared drive.

Procedure

To install from an electronic image on a shared drive:

  1. Ensure that your shared drive has sufficient disk space to store both the files that you must download and the extracted installation image. See the system requirements at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27022224.
  2. Download the required product image to a temporary directory on the shared drive. To download the product images, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24030687.
    Note: To download IBM® InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Version 3.1 you must log into IBM Passport Advantage®.
  3. Optional: If you downloaded a compressed file, extract the installation image from the downloaded file into an accessible directory on the shared drive and verify the installation image is complete. For more information, see Extracting and verifying electronic images
  4. Browse to the directory that is specific to the platform of your workstation and run the following .exe or .bin file in that directory:
    • For Windows, run IBM_OPQRT_V3_1_Windows_version.exe. For example, if you are installing the InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime for Linux, UNIX, and Windows V3.1 for the 32 bit version Windows, run the IBM_OPQRT_V3_1_Windows.exe file.
    • For Linux and UNIX: For a root user installation, run IBM_OPQRT_V3_1_operating_system.bin.
  5. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation.

    When you install Version 3.1 of the product, you can choose to run the configuration tool. If you want to configure a WebSphere® Application Server to work with IBM InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, select the Configure IBM InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime option on the Installation Complete page, then click Done. If you do not want to configure the WebSphere Application Server after you install the product, you can run the configuration tool at a later time.
