Installing IBM UrbanCode Deploy

An IBM® UrbanCode® Deploy installation consists of the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server, a database, and at least one agent. The installation can include the blueprint design server and its engine and database.

Typically, the server, database, agents, engine, and blueprint design server are installed on separate systems, although for a simple evaluation they can all be installed on the same system.
Installing IBM UrbanCode Deploy usually involves the following general steps:
  1. Review the system requirements. See System requirements and performance considerations.
  2. Install a Rational® Common Licensing server. See Rational Common Licensing overview.
  3. Add licenses to the server. For more information about the licenses that are available, see Licensing.
  4. If you are using a database other than Apache Derby, install the database before you install the server. See Installing the server database. Apache Derby is appropriate for evaluation installations only. If you choose Apache Derby, the server installation steps install Derby automatically, so you do not need to install it manually.
  5. Install the server. See Installing the server.
  6. Install agent relays. See Installing agent relays.
  7. Install one or more agents. See Installing agents.
  8. Start the server. See Starting and stopping the server.
  9. Optional: Install plug-ins. See Installing plug-ins.
