IBM Integration Bus 9.0.0.2 - Tooling Up

My ongoing journey with IBM Integration Bus continues: -

Installing IBM Integration Bus 9.0.0.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3

I've now got the Toolkit installed and running on RHEL63.

Unlike WMQ and IIB, the Toolkit is installed using IBM Installation Manager.

The first thing I had to do was to update IIM from 1.6.0 to 1.6.2+ as I previously had: -

com.ibm.cic.agent_1.6.0.20120831_1216

I actually updated to 1.7.2: -

com.ibm.cic.agent_1.7.2000.20140227_0303

( thanks to BPM 8.5.5 disk 2 ( BPM_Adv_V855_Linux_x86_2_of_3.tar.gz  ) for providing )

However, things weren't that smooth.

I started the installation of the IIB Toolkit: -

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl install com.ibm.integration.toolkit.v90_9.0.0.20140515-1210 -repositories /mnt/hgfs/IIB/integrationbus/Integration_Toolkit/ -acceptLicense

which almost immediately failed with: -

ERROR: Required 32-bit libraries are missing. For details, see the IBM Installation Manager log file.

I looked in the log file: -

cat /home/wasadmin/var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs/20140912_2025.log

and saw: -

After a major YUMfest, I managed to install all the missing libraries :-)

Eventually: -

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl install com.ibm.integration.toolkit.v90_9.0.0.20140515-1210 -repositories /mnt/hgfs/IIB/integrationbus/Integration_Toolkit/ -acceptLicense

Installed com.ibm.integration.toolkit.v90_9.0.0.20140515-1210 to the /home/wasadmin/IBM/IntegrationToolkit90 directory.

so now I have: -

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl listInstalledPackages

com.ibm.cic.agent_1.7.2000.20140227_0303
com.ibm.websphere.MON.V80_8.0.1002.20131028_1518
com.ibm.websphere.ND.v80_8.0.8.20131205_0207
com.ibm.ws.cognos.v1011.linuxia64_10.1.1.20121103_1244
com.ibm.websphere.IHS.v80_8.0.8.20131205_0207
com.ibm.websphere.PLG.v80_8.0.8.20131205_0207
com.ibm.integration.toolkit.v90_9.0.0.20140515-1210

which is nice :-)

Of course, this means that I'm running the Toolkit as wasadmin because that's the user which I use to install/use IBM Installation Manager, WAS, IBM Business Monitor etc.

This is how I start the Toolkit ( as wasadmin ): -

~/IBM/IntegrationToolkit90/launcher 

MQSI 9.0.0.2
/opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.2

which is also nice :-)
