  2. Establish a 5250 session to the system where Secure Perspective (5733-PS1) will be installed.
  3. Ensure you have a user profile with *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authority.
  4. Verify that the Developer Kit for Java™ (5761-JV1) has been installed on your system. Do the following:
    1. On a command line, enter the command GO LICPGM.
    2. Select Option 10 (Display installed licensed programs).
    3. Scroll the list and look for Developer Kit for Java (5761-JV1). If the product is not on your system, obtain the product and install it on your system.
  5. Verify that IBM® HTTP Server for i5/OS (5761-DG1) has been installed on your system. Do the following:
    1. On a command line, enter the command GO LICPGM.

    3. If no devices are listed, you have no optical devices connected to your system. After you have connected an optical device to the system, you can continue.
  7. For i5/OS V5R4, or later, verify that all of the necessary PTFs and PTF group SF99114, PTF Group Level 6 or higher have been applied to your system.
    • To verify PTFs for i5/OS (5761-SS1), use the following command:

      DSPPTF LICPGM(5761SS1) SELECT(*ALL)

      Page down the lists of PTFs and verify that all of the following PTFs have been applied to your system:

      • SI26787
      • SI25516
      • SI22392
      • SI21743
      • SI21742
    • To verify PTFs for HTTP server (5761-DG1), use the following command:

      DSPPTF LICPGM(5761DG1) SELECT(*ALL)

      Page down the lists of PTFs and verify that all of the following PTFs have been applied to your system:

      • SI26881
      • SI26873
      • SI26803
      • SI22447
      • SI22402
