Diameter Enabler base is
installed into the plugins directory in your WebSphere® Application Server
Network Deployment path.
The installation process includes minor configuration steps necessary
to run the Diameter Enabler base.
Before you begin
Before you begin, the following software
should be installed:
- A supported version of WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment
For a list of required WebSphere Application Server fixes,
refer to the readme file, WebSpheresoftwareForTelecomReadme.html,
on the QuickStart CD.
- If you require subscribe and notify functions for either Ro or
Sh, one of the following databases for storing subscriber notification
data:
IBM® DB2® Enterprise
Server Edition
Oracle Database
In addition, you should have:
- Completed the environment preparation steps, which includes unpacking
the DHAImsConnectorInstallPackage_6.2.0.tar file
into the was_root directory
Note: was_root is
the installation root directory for
WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment.
By default, this directory is:
/usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
- Prepared the database
You will need the following files for
this installation task:
- com.ibm.ws.diameter_6.2.0.jar (in was_root/plugins)
- DiameterChannelInstall.py (in was_root/installableApps/ImsConnector/install)
You will need the following information
to complete this task:
- WebSphere Application Server user
name and password. You only need this information if security is enabled.
- Cell name and node name where the WebSphere Application Server server
is installed; the default server is server1.
- Fully qualified host name where the node is installed.
- Port number for the Diameter inbound channel. Port 3868 is the
preferred port defined in RFC 3588. You should use this port unless
it is already in use.
About this task
Complete the following steps to install the
Diameter Enabler base:
- Log in to the server where WebSphere Application Server is
installed.
- If you have not already done so, unpack the DHAImsConnectorInstallPackage_6.2.0.tar file
as described in preparing the environment. Otherwise, open a command
prompt and verify that the file com.ibm.ws.diameter_6.2.0.jar was
correctly copied to the plugins directory:
- Start the application server.
- Configure the Diameter channels. Run the following command:
Important: Enter the following
parameters on a single line.
