Installing Replication Manager for Windows Installing on the Microsoft Windows operating system

You can use these procedures to install Replication Manager.

Prerequisites
  1. Log on to your system as a local administrator.

    To install the Replication Manager server and console, you must be logged on as a local administrator (for example, as the administrator user) on the system where Replication Manager will be installed.

    If you intend to install the Replication Manager server, you must have the following system privileges, called user rights, to successfully complete the installation:

    • Act as part of the operating system
    • Create a token object
    • Increase quotas
    • Replace a process-level token
    • Debug programs
    Note:Note: The installation wizard checks your privileges and asks you to set these privileges in step 13.

    These user rights are governed by the local security policy and are not initially set as the defaults for administrators. They might not be in effect when you log on as the local administrator. If the Replication Manager server installation wizard does not detect the required user rights for the logged on user name, the program can optionally set them. The program can set the local security policy settings to assign these user rights.

    Note:Note: If you do not set the user rights manually, you will have to begin the installation again when the rights are automatically set during the installation.

    Alternatively, you can manually set them prior to performing the installation. To manually set these privileges, click the following path and select the appropriate user rights:

    1. Click Start -> Settings, and then double-click the Control Panel icon.
    2. In the Control Pane window, double-click the Administrative Tools icon.
    3. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click theLocal Security Policy icon.
    4. In the Local Security Settings window, expand Local Policies.
    5. Click User Rights Assignments to see the policies that are in effect on your system. Perform the following steps to verify that the user name has the required rights:
      1. Highlight the policy to be checked.
      2. Double-click the policy and look for the user name in the Assigned To column of the Local Security Policy Setting window to verify the policy setting. Ensure that the Local Policy Setting and the Effective Policy Setting check boxes are selected.
      3. If the user name is not listed for the policy, perform the following steps to add the user name to the list:
        1. In the Local Security Settings window, click Add.
        2. In the Select Users or Groups window, highlight the user of the group in the Name column.
        3. Click Add to add the name to the lower window.
        4. Click OK to add the policy to the user or group.

        After these User Rights are set (either by the installation wizard or manually), log off the system, and then log on again to put the user rights into effect.

  2. Stop the IBM WebSphere Application Server, if it exists on the system: Start->Programs->IBM WebSphere->Application Server v5.1->Stop the Server, if the WebSphere Application Server has the global security disabled. Otherwise stop WebSphere Application Server by running from a separate Command Prompt window the following command:
    <WAS_dest-path>\bin\stopServer.bat server1 -username <username> 
    -password <password>
    where:

    <WAS_dest-path> is the destination path, where IBM WebSphere Application Server v5.1 was installed

    <username> is the name of a Console user having an Operator or Administrator role, when Global Security is enabled

    <password> is the password of the entered user

    Note:Note: If WebSphere Application Server was installed as part of the Multiple Device Manager installation:
    • You can use the Multiple Device Manager superuser ID or a Console user having an Operator or Administrator role to stop WebSphere Application Server.
    • <WAS_dest-path> is <dest-path>\WebSphere\AppServer

      where <dest-path> is the installation location for the Multiple Device Manager.

  3. Perform the following steps to stop each of the IBM Director services:
    1. Click Start -> Settings, and double-click the Control Panel icon.
    2. In the Control Panel window, double-click the Administrative Tools icon.
    3. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click the Services icon.
    4. In the Services window, find and single-click the IBM Director Server icon.
    5. Select the Stop option from the Action menu.
    6. In the Services window, single-click the IBM Director Support Program icon, and then either:
      • Select the Stop option from the Action menu; or
      • Right-click on the service and select Stop from the menu.
    7. In the Services window, single-click the IBM HTTP Administration 1.3.28 service.
    8. Select the Stop option from the Action menu.
    9. In the Services window, single-click the IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28.
    10. Select the Stop option from the Action menu.
    11. Close the Services window.
    12. Close the Administrative Tools window.

    When you complete these steps, the IBM Director icon that is located in the start tray (lower right corner of the desktop) changes to a red diamond indicating that the server has stopped.
