You can install the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server on Windows, Linux or AIX®.
Follow the instructions for your operating system:
Note: - The Tivoli® Portal
Server requires a database server on the same computer system as the
portal server. See Supported databases for Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server for the list
of supported database servers. If you choose to use a database server
other than Derby then you must install the database server software
before installing the portal server. If you are installing the portal
server on Linux or UNIX and using a DB2® database,
you can optionally create the portal server database with UTF-8 encoding
before installing the portal server. However, if you are installing
the portal server on Windows,
the Tivoli Monitoring installation
program must be used to create the database.
- When you install or upgrade the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server,
the Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions software
is automatically installed in the same directory. The portal server extensions
are required for some products that use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (for
example, IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Service Oriented Architecture).
The Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions software
is supported on the same operating systems as the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
