About this task
When you install IBM Business Monitor interactively, you must use the Installation Manager, whether you are installing all IBM Business Monitor components on a single server or installing the components to clusters in a network deployment environment.
Alternatively, you can set up a response file in advance and install IBM Business Monitor silently from a command line without interacting with the IBM Business Monitor installation program.
Note: When you install IBM Cognos® Business Intelligence and IBM Business Monitor, ensure
that IBM Cognos BI is
installed using the same bit mode as WebSphere Application
Server.
