Document Builder on a server for your organization.
About this task
This task is to be completed by server administrators on a server. When the task is
complete, the following feature is installed:
- IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing Document
Builder that contains a web application to build reports from templates, manage resources and
schedule document-style report generation, and a document-style report generation node.
Procedure
-
Download the Engineering Publishing package
from IBM
Passport Advantage®.
-
Extract the PUB
archive.
-
Run the PUB
launchpad file by either:
- Opening the extracted PUB_version_Win_Linux/PUB directory in an
explorer window and double-clicking the launchpad file that corresponds to your operating system:
: launchpad.bat
: launchpad.sh
- Opening a command prompt, navigating to the extracted PUB_version_Win_Linux/PUB directory, and
entering the command that corresponds to your operating system:

The PUB
launchpad opens.

Installation Manager
opens.
-
Select the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing Document
Builder package and click Next.
-
If required, install or update Installation Manager. PUB
7.1
requires Installation Manager version
1.9.1.5 or
later.
Installation Manager is
downloaded from the service repository, which requires an internet connection. If you do not have
an internet connection, you must exit Installation Manager and
manually update Installation Manager to
version 1.9.1.5.
See Updating Installation Manager by using wizard mode in
the Installation Manager product
documentation for more information.
- If you do not have Installation Manager
installed, you must install it before you can continue. For more information, see Installing Installation Manager by using wizard mode in
the Installation Manager
information center for more information.
- If you have an earlier version of Installation Manager
installed than the PUB version
requires, you must update it before you can continue. For more information, see Updating Installation Manager by using wizard mode in
the Installation Manager product
documentation for more information.
- Select I accept the terms in the
license agreement and click Next.
- Select a location for the shared resources directory and click
Next.
The default location is the
application_files_directory\IBM\IMShared.
Example:
C:\Program Files\IBM\IMShared.
If you used Installation Manager before
to install another program, the shared resources directory might already be defined. If the shared
resources directory is already defined, the wizard page is skipped. You can continue to the next
step.
-
In the Install Packages page, the Create a new package
group option is selected by default. This selection installs Publishing Document Builder
into its own installation folder, separate from the desktop client or any Engineering Lifecycle Management application. Example:
C:\Program Files\IBM\DocumentBuilder for Windows or .opt/IBM/DocumentBuilder for Linux®. Click Next.
- In the Translations page, select the languages to install
and click Next.
-
In the Common Configuration page, to install the included WebSphere Liberty server, select Install with WAS
Liberty.
Click Next.
-
When you are prompted to select a context root option, select Use default
application context roots to use the /rpeng context root. If you
want to edit the default values and use your own application context roots, choose Use
your own context root values (advanced)
- Review the summary information. To change
a selection, click Back to return to your selections.
- To begin the installation, click Install. When the installation is
finished, click Finish.
