Install IBM Survey Creator V1.0

This topic provides information on how to install the application on your server, deploy the application into an application server run time, and configure the application.

IBM® Business Solutions provides a set of enterprise Web applications available for iSeries™ servers. Each application is a common business need that works with your existing applications, server components, and enterprise data. The Web applications demonstrate the value of integrated e-business solutions.

As part of IBM Business Solutions, the IBM Survey Creator V1.0 application is installed and configured with the IBM Welcome Page V1.1 application. Deploy both applications using the IBM HTTP Server for iSeries Web administration GUI. After installation and configuration, the IBM Survey Creator V1.0 application is deployed into an application server run time.

Note: Certain operating systems may have preinstallation and initial preconfiguration of the application already set up on new iSeries servers. Before you install the IBM Welcome Page V1.1, IBM Telephone Directory V5.2, and IBM Survey Creator V1.0 applications, see verify the prerequisites in the IBM Welcome Page topic to verify that your iSeries software meets the minimum requirements.

IBM Welcome Page must be installed and configured to use the IBM Survey Creator V1.0 application. When you install IBM Survey Creator V1.0 using the Web Administration Deployment wizards, the IBM Welcome Page V1.1 application is automatically installed.

  1. Install the application

    Use the IBM Business Solutions Version 1.0 CD-ROM to install the applications on your iSeries server.

  2. Get the IBM Business Solutions PTF Group

    The initial offering of the IBM Survey Creator V1.0 application is being delivered as a PTF. The Preventative Service Planning page includes fixes for i5/OS™ products. This page includes fixes for the IBM Business Solutions. To determine which PTF group you must obtain and install, see:

    HTTP Server: PTFs and Support Link outside Information Center (http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.htm)

  4. Configure the application

    Use the HTTP server Web administration GUI to create a new application server and HTTP server (or use an existing application server and HTTP server, if you prefer) that will run IBM Survey Creator V1.0.

  5. Deploy the application into the application server run time

    Select the option on the Web administration GUI to deploy IBM Survey Creator V1.0 into the application server and HTTP server. When the application server and HTTP server are started, the application is automatically deployed into the application server run time environment.
