Preparing the system

Complete the prerequisite tasks for your operating system before you install IBM® Integration Bus.

About this task

Before you install IBM Integration Bus, read the topics that are relevant to your operating system:

For Windows:
1. Security requirements
2. Configuring temporary space on distributed systems
For Linux® or UNIX systems:
For z/OS®:
1. Security requirements
2. Checking available disk space on z/OS

If you are using WebSphere® MQ, configure the default settings for the log; see Default WebSphere MQ log settings.

For performance reasons, set the log size to the largest that the WebSphere MQ version that are using can support. If you are using a production system, consider using linear logging. By default, queue manager logs default to circular logging and use 3 x 1 MB log files.

What to do next

On distributed systems, install IBM Integration Bus; see Installing IBM Integration Bus software.
On z/OS, search for Integration Bus for z/OS on the IBM Publications Center website, and download the Program Directory for your version of IBM Integration Bus.
