Installing a custom deployment

Complete the tasks in this section to install a custom deployment of InfoSphere® MDM.

About this task

Custom installations deploy InfoSphere MDM to almost any possible deployment scenario. Most InfoSphere MDM deployments require the custom installation deployment type.

Custom installations are the required method if you are using an Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database or if you are installing in a clustered environment. Custom installations also support IBM® DB2® databases.

Custom installations must be run as a non-root user on UNIX and Linux.

Important: Before you begin the process of installing InfoSphere MDM, review the known problems. Some of the known installation problems require you to complete specific preinstallation configuration tasks. Failure to complete these configuration tasks can result in a failed installation.
