Installation of TIP/TCR
Pre-requisites
- Network access to the TDW.
- Java runtime installed (http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp)
- Internet access is useful.
- The TDW needs data for the reports and must be summarised at hourly and daily levels (configure via Tivoli Enterprise Portal).
- Installer (shipped with ITM).
Walk Through
1. Insert the installation CD and allow to autorun, or navigate to the installation directory and double-click the launchpad executable:
2. Select your language and click OK:
3. Click on “Install Tivoli Common Reporting”:
4. Click on the installation link:
5. Wait for a couple of minutes while the installer is unpacked:
6. Click “OK”:
7. Click “Next”:
8. Accept the license agreement and click “Next”:
9. Wait a few seconds while the deployment is configured:
10. Wait a couple of minutes while the deployment tool is installed:
11. Choose an installation directory or leave the default (C:\IBM\tivoli\tip). The basic size of TCR (without any reports installed) is approximately 447MB. Click “Next”:
12. Choose the type of installation required. The default will be sufficient for most purposes. Click “Next”:
13. Chose and enter a suitably secure password for the TIP administrator. You will need to enter this twice. Press “Next”:
14. Check the pre-installation summary and click “Install” to proceed:
15. Wait for the installation to finish. It takes a while. Go and have lunch - or a holiday in the Bahamas:
16. When you get back, you should have the success screen and a link to the console. Note that in all probability “localhost” will be the machine name of your PC. You may use either to access the portal. Click “Done”:
17. Clicking on “Done” in the previous step does not actually mean it is done. You have to wait a little longer while the TCR framework is configured:
18. Finally, you really are finished and you may elect to launch the tool after clicking “Done” once more. Note that I have seen IE8 hang when launching the portal from this screen.
