Configuring the software after installation

Configuring IBM InfoSphere Information Server
After you install the product, you must configure connections to your application server and databases, enable security, and configure other products in the suite. Completing these configuration tasks ensures that your installation of InfoSphere Information Server is set up to run optimally with minimal downtime.

Configuring a parallel processing environment
Some tasks are required to configure the parallel engine, and some tasks ensure the parallel engine is running smoothly. A well-performing parallel engine requires monitoring and adjustment to various settings, such as network, processor, and kernel parameter settings.

Configuring product modules in the suite
Depending on which products you installed or the tasks that you want to complete, you must complete some configuration tasks, such as configuring access to ODBC data sources for IBM InfoSphere DataStage® and IBM InfoSphere QualityStage®, setting up application servers to run reports, and configuring additional product modules.
