Web GUI installation prerequisites

If you are installing or upgrading the Web GUI, you must take note of a number of prerequisites.

The components that are listed in this topic are installed with IBM® Installation Manager. IBM Installation Manager is provided with the IBM Tivoli® Netcool®/OMNIbus 8.1 installation package and is also available as a stand-alone product.
Note: Resolved from fix pack
4 Installation Manager 1.8.x is required before 8.1 fix pack 4 installation. Installation Manager 1.9.2.8 is packaged with refresh installers.

The following components are prerequisites for a Web GUI8.1 installation. If you attempt a Web GUI installation and ignore the prerequisites, the installation fails.

Prerequisites

  • IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Core.
    Note: Not having Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus installed does not prevent a Web GUI installation from completing, however without an ObjectServer installed and running you cannot configure a data source.
  • IBM WebSphere® Application Server 8.5.0.1 (or later) for Jazz® for Service Management.

    Only side-by-side upgrade is supported from IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 to 9. In place upgrade is not supported.

    For more information, see: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7148195.

  • IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition.

    See the following table for information on supported versions.

    Table 1. Supported versions of IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition SDK
    Web GUI Fix Pack Supported versions
    Fix Pack 16 or later IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition is no longer required, since WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.14 (or later) comes with Java 8 by default. If IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition is to be used, please install or update to the supported Java 8 for that WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 fix pack.
    Fix Pack 14 We only support IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition 8.0.x
    Previous Fix Packs Use the version that is supported by your IBM WebSphere Application Server installation. For more information about the versions of IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition that are supported by versions of IBM WebSphere Application Server installation, see the related IBM WebSphere Application Server release notes. See the following sample of IBM WebSphere Application Server release notes.
  • Jazz for Service Management 1.x.
    During this step, the Installation Manager discovers two required packages in the Jazz repository. Both of the following packages must be selected for installation at the same time:
    1. Jazz for Service Management extension for IBM WebSphere 8.5.
    2. Dashboard Application Services Hub 3.x.
    For product version combinations, refer to the tables in this topic. For more information about Jazz for Service Management, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEKCU/welcome.

5Integrated event search
The integrated event search feature between Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus and IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis requires a Netcool Operations Insight license. The following components are prerequisites for the event search feature:
IBM Tivoli Netcool/Impact
