Installing the product in graphical mode

You can use IBM® Installation Manager to perform a graphical mode installation. There are two options you can choose from, graphical mode or extracting the product files. In this option, you use the installer to extract the product files. You perform the configuration and the deployment of the product to the application server yourself.

1. Start IBM Installation Manager. Go to the /<IM directory>/eclipse directory and run the ./IBMIM command to start IBM Installation Manager.
2. On the IBM Installation Manager home screen, click Install.
3. On the Install Packages screen, select the IBM Product Master product version, and click Next.
4. Accept the license agreement terms, and click Next.
5. On the second Install Packages screen:
   1. Select the Installation Directory into which you want to install each component. If you choose to install a component in a directory other than the default, select that component and click Browse in the Installation Directory field.
      Attention: If you have IBM Rational® Application Developer installed, make sure that you do not install Product Master into the same package group. On the Install Packages screen, select Create a new package group.

      The Persona-based UI is installed in the specified installation directory mdmui folder.
   2. For Architecture Selection, ensure that 64-bit is selected, and click Next.
6. Select the language and click Next.

         Note: Ensure that you use the same database name for both the remote and local database fields. For Oracle Database client version higher than 12c, installation with IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is not supported, you can extract and install manually using scripts.

         1. Enter the information that you used during the application server preparation.
         2. Select Retrieve Host Details to obtain your Cell, Node, and Server information. Select existing application server or provide a new one. Provide virtual host.
         4. On the Application Configuration screen:
            1. Provide your Perl installation home directory, JDK home directory, cache multicast address, and TTL for multicast packets, RMI port and Application server HTTP port. Set the value of TTL for multicast packets to 0 for single-machine installations and 1 for clusters, RMI port and Application server HTTP port.
            2. Select the Locale that you want to use for the installation. By default, the selected locale is English.
            3. If you want the installer to create the table to be used by Product Master, select the Create database tables to be used by the product checkbox.
