Web Reports.
Before you begin
Make sure that you meet these prerequisites:
- Your environment meets the hardware and software requirements
for this component
- You completed the IBM® Installation
Manager preparation
steps
- You reviewed and completed the MDM user applications installation
worksheet
- You have IBM WebSphere® Application Server installed
and running
About this task
You have two options available for installation: Install
or Modify. The Install option assumes that you are installing the
application on a clean server or workstation. That means that the
server or workstation does not have any InfoSphere MDM components
that are already installed (for example the MDM operational server,
database component, or another user application). If any MDM components
are present on the machine on which you are installing the application,
you must use the Modify option.
Procedure

Manager.
- On the IBM Installation
Manager home
panel, select Install or Modify.

these steps.

select the InfoSphere MDM offering
and click Next.
- Continue through the panels to accept the license agreement,

that you want to install is listed in the Adding Features box
and that no components are listed in the Removing Features box.

is complete and close IBM Installation
Manager.

console and verity that the application is deployed to the server
specified during installation.
Results
When you install the application, IBM Installation
Manager updates
the webreports.properties file with the host
name, port, and valid user name and password that you provide on the
installation configuration panel and deploys the application EAR to
the target application server. During deployment, the application
server unpacks the EAR content into an installed apps directory. For
example, WAS_PROFILE_HOME/installedApps/$cell_name/webreports.ear.
