The manual deployment of BI Monitor on WebSphere 5.0 is done through the IBM WebSphere Administrative Console for either WebSphere Application Server v5.0 or WebSphere Deployment Manager (Network Deployment) v5.0. The differences between the deployment steps on each of these WebSphere editions are:
If you intend to deploy the BI Monitor on WebSphere Deployment Manager (Network Deployment) v5 then you have to create a new Application Server (for example, named MonitorServer) on which the BI Monitor Enterprise Application will be deployed. Also you have to select the node on which you will create the Application Sever and deploy the BI Monitor Enterprise Application. This is done at the beginning of each section steps that requires the node selection.
If you intend to deploy the BI Monitor on WebSphere Application Server v5 then the BI Monitor enterprise application should be deployed on the Default Server (server1). And in this case you don’t need to create a new Application Server.
If you intend to deploy the BI Monitor on WebSphere Deployment Manager (Network Deployment), then the version of the Network Deployment Server must be the same as the Application Server version of any node on which the Monitor will be deployed. This means deploying the Monitor on a node that has a different version from the Network Deployment Server version is not supported.
The following sections provide the detailed steps of the manual deployment of BI Monitor on WebSphere:
Create a new Application Server
Create JDBC Providers and Data Sources
Configure the New Application Server
Configure the BI Monitor Initial Parameters
Install the BI Monitor Enterprise Application
Assign the Created Shared Library to the Installed Enterprise Application
