WebSphere Business Monitor Launchpad

The WebSphere® Business Monitor Launchpad is the program you use to create the required databases and install different components of WebSphere Business Monitor.

The Launchpad checks for the existence of all the software prerequisites needed by the WebSphere Business Monitor components. You use it to install any prerequisites that are not installed.

After all the prerequisites have been installed, the Launchpad calls the WebSphere Business Monitor Installer, which creates the selected WebSphere Business Monitor databases and installs the selected WebSphere Business Monitor components.

You use the installer to :

Important: On the AIX® platform, the parent directory into which you have extracted the compressed (.tar) file that contains the Launchpad must have read and execute permission for all users. Refer to the topic named Assigning permissions to the Launchpad parent directories on the AIX platform for details

During the installation of the prerequisites, some user IDs and their passwords are created to be used later in the installation of the different components and for creating the different databases. The following table shows the user IDs and passwords that are created in each prerequisite:
