I would like to share my experience with the installation of MDM v 11.4 on a Windows workstation(Development machine)

Before you begin:

Make sure you have

A machine with 8+ GB RAM(12GB recommended as during installation I noticed that the Physical Memory usage is very high and my available Physical memory went down to 74MB)

This was my OS information, but 8gb ram is too low.

2) Admin Rights (Elevated rights alone with regedit access is not sufficient, as the process creates new users etc).

It causes trouble during DB2 installation and you have to do a lot of steps manually to make it working.

3) Disable Antivirus

4) Disable Windows Firewall

IBM WebSphere Application Server Fix Pack v8.5.5.2(Fix pack 8.5.5.1 and 8.5.5.2 both are needed)

Fix packs should be available from fix central.

9.1 ->RAD

10.5->DB2

11.4 ->MDM Adv or Std

Network Deployment ->WAS 8.5.5

Fix packs:

Workbench->MDM Workbench

To install Installation Manager (1.7.2)

1)Extract disk1 of MDM_STD_ADV_11.4_ML_1

Goto:

C:\MDM Installables\11.4\MDM_STD_ADV_11.4_ML_1\MDM\disk1\installer_win32_win32_x86_64

Right Click install(blue icon) ->Run as Administrator

Click Next ->Click Install

Next Step is to Install RAD ( 9.1)

From Installation Manager

File ->preferences->AddRepository

Provide the path to the diskTag.inf in disk1

C:\MDM Installables\9.1\RAD_WS_9.1_1\RAD\disk1

Edit the path

Scroll Down:

Installing MDM Workbench v 11.4

You will get the prompt for disk2 and disk3 of workbench.

For some reason, it asked me for the disk2 of RAD also.Pls provide it when you are being asked ☺.

IBM WAS ND 8.5.5

Change path:

Default:

Say OK and click Install

It will ask for disk3 also.

Update WAS FP level to 8.5.5.01

Merge the two folders into one :

DB2 10.5 ESE Installation (Part Number)

IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management V11.4 - IBM DB2 Enterprise Server Edition V10.5 Multiplatform Multilingual eAssembly

CRTR2ML

Activation Kit:
IBM DB2 Enterprise Server Edition - Restricted Use - Quick Start and Activation V10.5.0.1 for Linux, UNIX and Windows Multilingual (CIPH4ML

Risht click Setup->Run as administraftor

Use db2admin/db2admin

Note:

I ran the a few commands manually here because of the error I received.(You don’t have to )

It shouldn’t fail if you have proper Admin right.(My org gives only Elevated Rights ☹ )

Open Db2 Command window:

Type:

1)db2icrt db2inst1

2)db2systray

You will notice the green DB2 icon in your systray(Right click ->Start)

I created a sample db2 database from First Steps(will come as part of the installation) or try db2fs from command window.

Everything went fine(db created,I can query from command window etc), but when I connect from RAD to my DB, it throwed me a connection error:

From DB2 Command Window(bin):

db2 UPDATE DBM CFG USING SVCENAME 50000

db2set DB2COMM=TCPIP

db2stop force

db2start

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.databases.ibm-db2/pRU2Wl0Er4E

From windows cmd verify :

netstat -na | find "50000"

Creating and Configuring WAS Profile

Open the PMT from Start->Type (Profile Management Tool)

Click create :

Use mdmadmin/mdmadmin

Go to :

Make the following in sas.client.props and soap.client.props.

soap.client.props

Edit the proties with to provide Username and Password.

The above properties has to be changed as like following by providing mdmadmin for user name and password.

sas.client.props

Edit sas.client.props and change the three lines listed below. (loginSource=properties, userid, and password)

The above given propertis has to be changed like the following

Start the Application server

Once the server is started.

Start the Adminstrative Console.(login with mdmadmin/mdmadmin)

https://f432dtrv.ustr.com:9043/ibm/console/logon.jsp

Click Environment->Websphere variables

Set JDBC_DRIVER_PATH (C:\IBM\SQLLIB) . Don’t give till SQLLIB

Select “Environments” → “Websphere variables” and set the value for DB2 JDBC Driver Path

Apply and Save.

Set the heap size values min as 1024 and max as 2048 in JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

Apply & save

Apply, Save directly to Master configuration.

MDM StartUp Toolkit

This provides the scripts required to create an MDM database.

StartUpToolKit should be available in the disk1

C:\MDM Installables\11.4\MDM_STD_ADV_11.4_ML_1\MDM\disk1\StartUpToolkit.

Edit SQL files

There are a couple of SQL files provided in the startup toolkit for creating an MDM database on DB2:

CoreData\Full\DB2\Standard\ddl\CreateDB.sql
CoreData\Full\DB2\Standard\ddl\CreateTS.sql

Both these files contain placeholders which need to be replaced with suitable values before use. These are the values I used:

Placeholder	Value
	MDMDB
	US
	db2admin/U36001
	TBS4K
	TBS8K
	TBS16K
	INDEXSPACE1
	LONGSPACE1
	EMESPACE1
	EMESPACE2

Create database

After editing the SQL files, I ran them using this command in a DB2 Command Window:

Note: I copied the StartUpToolkit folder to my C:\(just so that I can play around without touching the actual ones)

db2 -v -td; -f C:\StartUpToolkit\CoreData\Full\DB2\Standard\ddl\CreateDB.sql >> C:\StartUpToolkit\CoreData\Full\DB2\Standard\ddl\CreateDBRes.txt

Run the CreateTS.sql also.

db2 -v -td; -f C:\StartUpToolkit\CoreData\Full\DB2\Standard\ddl\CreateTS.sql >> C:\StartUpToolkit\CoreData\Full\DB2\Standard\ddl\CreateTSRes.txt

Verify the logs.

I received the following errors:

GRANT CREATETAB,BINDADD,CONNECT,CREATE_NOT_FENCED,IMPLICIT_SCHEMA,LOAD ON DATABASE TO USER U36001

DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a

valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned:

SQL0554N An authorization ID cannot grant a privilege or authority to itself.

SQLSTATE=42502

But I think they are fine.

MDM Operational Server Installation

Now everything should be ready for a successful MDM install, however the operational server installer does not do many checks so there is still a chance that you could encounter problems. When problems do occur, the install will either roll back, requiring a reinstall, or keep going without reporting any issues until the install verification tests fail. This makes it difficult to track down problems so it's worth taking time to make sure everything is configured correctly before starting the install.

Manual pre-install checks

First I checked that DB2 was installed in a directory called SQLLIB using the db2level command. Next I checked that the required table spaces had all been created using the command below:

db2 -td; CONNECT TO MDMDB && db2 -td; SELECT VARCHAR(TS.TBSPACE,20) AS TABLESPACE, TS.PAGESIZE, VARCHAR(BP.BPNAME,20) AS BUFFERPOOL FROM SYSCAT.TABLESPACES TS, SYSCAT.BUFFERPOOLS BP WHERE TS.BUFFERPOOLID = BP.BUFFERPOOLID
