Installing Data Studio and the License Activation Kit for IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner through a wizard

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 using the IBM Installation Manager wizard opened from the product launchpad.

Before you begin

Ensure that your workstation meets the system requirements.

About this task

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. On the product DVD or in the extracted content of the compressed file downloaded from IBM Passport Advantage, double-click either of these files, depending on your operating system:
    • On Windows operating systems: setup.exe
    • On Linux operating systems: setup
    Note: If Installation Manager 1.5.1 is not already installed on the workstation, it is automatically installed at this point.
  2. In the launchpad, select Install Product and select the type of installation that you want to perform.
  3. On the Select Packages page of the wizard, select both packages.
  4. On the Install Packages page, follow either of these steps:
    • 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.
  5. Finish the remaining steps in the wizard.

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.
