Installation decision maps
You can use different decision maps to help you plan and decide your options for a Jazz for Service Management installation.- Choosing your integration services
The custom installation provides the flexibility to allow you to install only the integration services that you need. - Choosing your installation scenario
The Jazz for Service Management can be installed on a single server or on multiple servers in a distributed environment. It supports two primary installation scenarios, full and custom. - Choosing your topology
The Jazz for Service Management can be installed on one, two, three, or four servers in a distributed environment. - Choosing the installation mode
The launchpad requires a browser on the target system to run. Installation Manager requires a graphical environment to run in GUI mode. If neither exist on your target system, you can use Installation Manager in silent mode. - Choosing the user type
Your security policies or the target server might limit installing software to users with sufficient administrative privileges. You can install Jazz for Service Management as a root or administrative user. If your security policies allow, you can also install Jazz for Service Management as a non-root or non-administrative user. - Choosing whether to install WebSphere Application Server
All integration services require WebSphere Application Server. You can choose to install WebSphere Application Server when installing an integration service, or you can use an existing supported WebSphere Application Server instance. - Choosing whether to install DB2
Tivoli Common Reporting require DB2. You can use an existing supported DB2 installation or perform a fresh installation. - Choosing whether to enable Jazz for Service Management for FIPS
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are standards and guidelines that are issued by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for federal government computer systems. You can choose whether to enable Jazz for Service Management and its middleware for FIPS. - Choosing whether to review installations files before installing
Your business policies might require that your database and IT teams review the Jazz for Service Management installation and configuration scripts before installing software in your enterprise environment. You can choose to stagger the installation, to first install the installation and configuration scripts, review these files, and then deploy and configure the integration services.
