Install IBM Survey Creator V1.0

This topic provides information about how to install the application on your server, deploy the application into an application server run time, and configure the application.

IBM® Business Solutions provides a set of enterprise Web applications available for iSeries servers. Each application is a common business need that works with your existing applications, server components, and enterprise data. The Web applications demonstrate the value of integrated e-business solutions.

As part of IBM Business Solutions, the IBM Survey Creator V1.0 application is installed and configured with the IBM Welcome Page V1.1 application. Deploy both applications using the IBM HTTP Server for iSeries Web administration GUI. After installation and configuration, the IBM Survey Creator V1.0 application is deployed into an application server run time.

Note: Certain operating systems may have preinstallation and initial preconfiguration of the application already set up on new iSeries servers. Before you install the IBM Welcome Page V1.1, IBM Telephone Directory V5.2, and IBM Survey Creator V1.0 applications, see verify the prerequisites in the IBM Welcome Page topic to verify that your iSeries software meets the minimum requirements.

IBM Welcome Page must be installed and configured to use the IBM Survey Creator V1.0 application. When you install IBM Survey Creator V1.0 using the Web Administration Deployment wizards, the IBM Welcome Page V1.1 application is automatically installed.
