Before installing InfoSphere® MDM,
run the prerequisite checking command line tool that is included with
the Installation Startup Kit.
About this task
The prerequisite checking command line tool helps to prevent
you from beginning an installation that will be unable to successfully
complete due to missing prerequisites. This tool has the ability to
test your environment to ensure that the expected prerequisites are
in place, and also to collect basic and extended data from logs, configuration
files, and metadata stored in the database.
Note: The
prerequisite checking command line tool includes functionality provided
by the IBM® Support Assistant
Data Collector.
