Install CA GovernanceMinder on IBM WebSphere 7

This procedure describes how you install the CA GovernanceMinder server in a WebSphere environment. You must install the product as a root user on the same system where you have installed IBM WebSphere Network Deployment. The installer also installs and configures CA GovernanceMinder databases and data tables on a specified SQL or Oracle database server.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that the SQL or Oracle server that is determined to host your databases is running.
2. Do the following:
   1. Download and install the latest Oracle JDK 1.6.X from the Oracle website.

      Note: We recommend that you download any Oracle JDK version above 1.6.23.

   2. Configure the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 Java alternatives.

      For example, run the following commands from the command prompt:

      /usr/sbin/alternatives --install  /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/java 1500
      

      /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
      

      Note: In this example, the JDK installation root is as follows:

       /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45
      

   3. Verify that the default Java command is now the Oracle JDK 6.45.

      From the command prompt, enter in the following command:

      java -version
      

      The Java version displays the following information:

      java version "1.6.0_45"
      

   4. Set the following java environment variables to the CA GovernanceMinder and IBM WebSphere cluster node installation:

      JAVA_HOME=JDK_6_install_root 
      

      For example, add the following lines to the /root/.bashrc file:

      JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45
      

      export JAVA_HOME
      

      Note: You only set the environment variables on the node where you install CA GovernanceMinder, and not every node.

   You have configured Red Hat E Enterprise Linux 6.2 Java alternatives, verified default commands, and set Java environment variables.

3. Run the InstCARCM.bin installation program from the installation files.

   The CA GovernanceMinder installer opens.

4. Select the language that you want for the Portal, and click OK.

   Note: The language that you select affects the Portal interface only and not the installation or any other component.

5. Complete the installer by providing the necessary information. The following options are not self-explanatory:

   Application Server

   Specifies WebSphere: Prepare '.ear' installation files.

   Workpoint Server Host

   Specify one of the following server options:

   • This server - You install the Workpoint server on the CA GovernanceMinder server.
   • Remote server - Specify a remote Workpoint server.
6. Review your installation choices, and click Install.

   The installer runs the customized installation package.

7. When the installation completes, click Done to close the installer.

   You have installed CA GovernanceMinder and selected WebSphere as the application server in the Application Server step.

Next, you configure Hazelcast.
