Installation error: AdminTask

An AdminTask error can cause an installation failure.

Description

This problem might cause the InfoSphere® MDM installation to fail and trigger a complete installation rollback. This issue might happen when you are installing the Business Administration UI application as part of the InfoSphere MDM installation. The issue is related to the ability of the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Deployment Manager to interact with the InfoSphere MDM installation application. If encountered, the installation session is stopped, an error message is issued, and the installation rollback is triggered.

The warning message is similar to this IBM Installation Manager log file example message:
Error occurred in phase: install SU: com.ibm.mdm.ba.webapp 11.0.0.v20130410-1220 IU: com.ibm.mdm.ui.ba.config.server_create.config.objects.on.server null->11.0.0.v20130410-1220 Message: Error executing the /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer8502ND/bin/wsadmin.sh command: status=105.

Solution

  1. Increase the IBM WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager JVM heap size to 1024/2048.
  2. Run the MDM installation again.
  3. Avoid use of the IBM WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console during the MDM installation.
