Installing Data Studio and the License Activation Kit for IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner silently

If you plan to activate licenses for IBM® InfoSphere® Optim™ Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1.1 on DB2® databases or subsystems, you must install both the client and the license activation kit together on a workstation. You can install them by running a silent installation.

Before you begin

Ensure that your workstation and the workstations where you plan to run the silent installation meet the system requirements.

About this task

This task involves generating a response file on one workstations, and then performing the installation with the response file on other workstations.
Restrictions:
  • If you generate a response file on a workstation that is running a Windows operating system, you must perform the silent installation with that response file on another workstation that is running a Windows operating system.
  • If you generate a response file on a workstation that is running a Linux operating system, you must perform the silent installation with that response file on another workstation that is running a Linux operating system.
Installing IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1.1 installs two components on your workstation:
IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1
IBM Data Studio provides an integrated development environment for robust database application development and database management for database servers. It includes a limited set of features for tuning that are free of charge.
A license activation kit for InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1.1
This kit allows you to activate the full set of features for tuning query workloads and single SQL statements. When you use the IBM Data Studio full client to start tuning, the client will install and activate a license on the connected DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows database or DB2 for z/OS® subsystem. When you and other people subsequently connect to that database through the IBM Data Studio full client or administration client, you and they can use the full set of tuning features.
There are two different License Activation Kits:
  • InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows License Activation Kit
  • InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for z/OS License Activation Kit
Your product DVD or the compressed file that you downloaded from IBM Passport Advantage® of IBM Shopz contains the kit that corresponds to the product that you purchased.

Procedure

To install both components of IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1.1 on your workstation:

  1. Generate a response file:
    1. At a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where IBM Installation Manager is installed.
      • On Windows, for example: cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
      • On Linux, for example: cd /opt/IBM/Installation Manager/eclipse
    2. Run one of these commands to start IBM Installation Manager.
      Note:
      • The commands as shown will not install InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner on your workstation, and will generate a response file only, in addition to a log file. If you want to install InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner on your workstation, remove the -skipInstall option from the command that you run.
      • Ensure the file paths you enter exist; Installation Manager will not create directories for the response file and the log file.
      If the users on the workstations where you plan to install IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner have administrative rights:
      • For Windows: IBMIM.exe –record <response file and path name> -log <log file and path name> -skipInstall <full path name of a writable directory>
      • For Linux: IBMIM -record < full path name of the response file> -log <log file and path name> -skipInstall < full path name of a writable directory>
      If the users on the workstations where you plan to install IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner do not have administrative rights:
      • For Windows: userinst.exe –record <response file and path name> -log <log file and path name> -skipInstall <full path name of a writable directory>
      • For Linux: userinst -record < full path name of the response file> -log <log file and path name> -skipInstall <full path name of a writable directory>
    3. In IBM Installation Manager, select File > Preferences.
    4. On the Repositories page, add the location of the diskTag.inf files for both IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1 and the IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for z/OS License Activation Kit, Version 3.1.1. Then, click OK.
      The path to the diskTag.inf file for IBM Data Studio full client:
      • On Windows operating systems: <Install media root>\disk1\diskTag.inf
      • On Linux operating systems: <Install media root>/disk1/diskTag.inf
      The path to the diskTag.inf file for the license activation kit:
      • On Windows operating systems: <Install media root>\oqwt\diskTag.inf
      • On Linux operating systems: <Install media root>/oqwt/diskTag.inf
    5. In the main screen of IBM Installation Manager, click Install.
    6. On the Install Packages page, follow either of these steps. The results of these steps apply to the workstation on which you are generating the response file, if you did not use the -skipInstall option in step b; the results of these steps also apply on the workstations where you perform the silent installations.
      • If you have the InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client, Version 3.1 or IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1 installed and you want to upgrade to IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1, select the package group in which the product that you want to replace appears. The Installation Manager wizard will uninstall that product before installing IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1.
        Note: InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client, Version 3.1 and IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1 could be in separate package groups or the same package group. If they are in separate package groups, choose one of the package groups. Installation Manager will not uninstall the client that is in the other package group.
      • If you do not have the InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client, Version 3.1 or IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1 installed, create a new package group.
        Note: If you specify a custom directory for the new package group, ensure that the path to the directory is neither long nor deep. The names of the directories all together should not be long, and the path should not nest more than a few subfolders.
    7. Finish the remaining steps in the wizard.
  2. Transfer the response file to a workstation where you want to install IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for z/OS, Version 3.1.1. Ensure that the version of IBM Installtion Manager that you used to generate the response file is installed on the workstation where you want to run the silent installation. Ensure that the repositories that the response file specifies are accessible by IBM Installation Manager. For example, if the response file points to the diskTag.inf files that are on the product DVD, place the product DVD in the DVD drive of the workstation before starting the silent installation.
  3. Perform the silent installation.
    1. At a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where IBM Installation Manager is installed.
      • On Windows, for example: cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
      • On Linux, for example: cd /opt/IBM/Installation Manager/eclipse
    2. Run one of these commands.
      Note: The -log option creates a new log file, so the directory that you specify must be writable.
      • For Windows: imcl.exe -acceptLicense input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>
      • For Linux: ./imcl -acceptLicense input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>

What to do next

If you need to configure DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows databases so that you tune SQL statements or query workloads, see Configuring DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows databases for use with IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner.

If you need to configure DB2 for z/OS subsystems so that you can tune SQL statements or query workloads, see Configuring a DB2 for z/OS subsystem for query and query-workload tuning with InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner.

If your subsystems or databases were already configured for tuning with IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1 and a license for that version is active on the subsystem, you can start IBM Data Studio full client and start tuning.
