Installing the primary CAE server

Follow these steps to install the primary CAE server.

Before you begin

For High-Availability Fault-Tolerance to work when the primary CAE server is unavailable, the installation folder must be on a storage device that is independent of the CAE server. For higher availability, that storage device should also be fault tolerant. Before beginning the installation of the primary CAE server, set up a directory for the primary server. Specify a folder on a fault-tolerant storage device that has been mapped to a drive letter. Do not specify a UNC path such as \\Server\folder. You will use this folder in step 8 of the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. Obtain the necessary setup executable files. For more information, see Transferring the necessary set up executable files to a Windows PC.
  2. Stop any Db2 Query Monitor services (or other KBM services such as that of IBM®/Tivoli® Storage Optimizer) that are currently running prior to launching the installation program. If a Db2 Query Monitor service (or other KBM service such as that of IBM/Tivoli Storage Optimizer) is running, the installation wizard will display a message indicating you must quit the install and shut down all Db2 Query Monitor processes prior to reattempting the installation.
  3. Launch the installer.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Specify the location to which you would like to install Db2 Query Monitor and click Next.
  6. Specify where you would like to create product icons and click Next.

    Valid options include:

    In a new program group
    Creates a new program group (accessible via the Start > Programs menu) to hold your product icons. Specify the new program group label in the box.
    In an existing program group
    Places product icons into an existing program group (accessible from the Start > Programs menu). Select the program group from your existing program groups.
    In the Start menu
    Places product icons in the Start menu.
    On the desktop
    Places product icons on the desktop.
    In the Quick Launch bar
    Places product icons in the Quick Launch bar.
    Other
    Places product icons in a location of your choosing.
    Don't create icons
    No product icons are created.
    Create icons for all users
    Icons are created for all users in the chosen location.
  7. If you have a prior installation of Db2 Query Monitor from which you want to import data, click Yes and specify the location of the prior installation. Click Next.
  8. Choose whether to import a secure socket certificate file, allow Db2 Query Monitor to create a host-based certificate or use a default localhost certificate.

    The following options are available:

    Import certificate
    The browser behavior depends on the quality and appropriateness of the certificate that is imported. To import a certificate, edit and run SCQMSAMP library member CQMICERT.
    Create certificate
    This option enables you to specify the hostname (Db2 Query Monitor attempts to present a good default). If the browser user specifies that host the only warning should be about the self-signing. To create a certificate, edit and run SCQMSAMP library member CQMCCERT. After you run CQMCCERT, you must then run CQMICERT on the newly created certificate to import the certificate. This enables the CAE server to use the certificate you created with CQMCCERT.
    Use default localhost certificate
    This option causes the browser to warn users about the hostname mismatch with the certificate. The browser will also warn users that it is being self-signed.
    Note: Talk to your network and or security administrators for assistance with obtaining certificates or to discuss obtaining certificates for the CAE server. For general information about certificates, see Certificates requirements - USS and Windows.
    For more information about certificates, see Certificates requirements - USS and Windows.
    Note:
    • You can import a certificate later with the certificate import script.
  9. Click Next.

    If you specified Import Certificate, you are prompted to enter the certificate file location.

    If you specified Create Certificate, you are prompted to enter the host name for the certificate.

    If you specified Use Default Localhost, you receive a warning message about the self-signed certificate request.

    To clear the message, click OK.

  10. A pre-installation summary displays a list of the location, features, and size of the intended installation.

    Verify that all items are correct and, if so, click Install. If corrections are required, click Previous to re-specify installation parameters.

  11. When the installation has completed, an Install Complete panel displays a summary of the installation. Click Done to quit the installer.
