Installing the adapter
The adapter installation software is available on CD or as an
ESD (electronic software delivery) download from the Web. Use
Passport Advantage(R) to download the setup files for
IBM WebSphere Business Integration adapter for Maximo MEA to your
system. The product part number also refers to the ESD image. The
procedures for installing the adapter for Maximo MEA are described
in detail in the Installation Guide for WebSphere Business
Integration Adapters, which along with the Release
Notes, is located in the InfoCenter
at the following address: http://www.ibm.com/websphere/integration/wbiadapters/infocenter.
Installed file structure
Table 3 shows the file
structure used by the adapter and lists the files that are
installed on the system.

Installing the adapter on a Windows system
If you are installing from an ESD image, the file download
utility copies an executable file containing a set of installation
files onto your machine. To install the adapter:
- Run the setup file, setupwin32.exe, for your platform from the
setup directory or from CD. The InstallShield appears.
- Select the language and click OK.
- Step through the screens by clicking Next.
- Note:
- You will be asked to select a file location.
- If you are running ICS, you must install these files in the
same product directory in which you installed ICS, for example,
C:\IBM\WebSphereICS. In these steps, the ICS directory is
called ICSdir.
- If you are running WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker or WebSphere
Business Integration Message Broker, you must install these files
in the same product directory in which you installed the WebSphere
Business Integration adapter package. This is
C:\IBM\WebSphereAdapters by default.
Use the Browse button to locate the correct directory and
select it.
Installing the adapter on a UNIX system
If you are installing the adapter on a UNIX platform:
- Run the appropriate setup file for your system:
- For AIX, run setupAIX.bin
- For HP-UX, run setupHP.bin
- For Solaris, run setupsolarisSparc.bin
- Specify a directory for the files:
- If you are running ICS, you must install these files in the
same product directory in which you installed ICS. This is
/opt/IBM/WebSphereICS by default.
- If you are running WebSphere MQ Integrator broker or WebSphere
Business Integration Message Broker, you must install these files
in the same product directory in which you installed the WebSphere
Business Integration adapter package. This is
/opt/IBM/WebSphereAdapters by default.
Configuring the application for the adapter
This guide assumes that the Maximo Enterprise Adapter (MEA)
application has already been configured to send and receive
messages externally from MQSeries queues.
