Installing IBM Integration Bus 9.0.0.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3

This is part of my ongoing journey towards mastery relative understanding of integration, using IBM WebSphere MQ, IBM Integration Bus and IBM Business Process Manager.

I've got some further experience of WMQ after the past few weeks: -

Installing IBM WebSphere MQ on Linux

IBM WebSphere MQ - (l)user error with amqsput and clustered Queue Managers

so am revisiting IIB ( having played briefly with WebSphere Message Broker a while back ): -

IBM WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.1 - Getting started

Installing WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit 8.0.1 on Linux

Ooops, now I understand what WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit is trying to tell me

WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.1 - I'm on a roll ....

This is, as ever, a work-in-progress.

My objective is two fold: -

(a) Validate WMQ to BPM integration by putting a message onto a Queue, and then retrieving it using a Message Driven Bean ( building on this Using WebSphere MQ V7 as JMS Provider for WebSphere Application Server V7, V8.0 and V8.5 )

(b) Create a basic flow in IIB to, for example, pull a database row from DB2 and post it to BPM, again using WMQ as the transport mechanism, perhaps using IBM HTTP Server in front of IIB to trigger the flow ....

However, one needs to walk before one can run ... so here's the installation of IIB: -

Create File Systems and Group/User - as root

mkdir /opt/ibm/mqsi
mkdir /var/mqsi

groupadd mqbrkrs
useradd -g mqbrkrs -G mqbrkrs,mqm -d /home/wmbadmin wmbadmin
passwd wmbadmin

chown -R wmbadmin:mqbrkrs /opt/ibm/mqsi
chown -R wmbadmin:mqbrkrs /var/mqsi

Unpack Binaries - as wmbadmin

su - wmbadmin

mkdir /tmp/IIB
tar xvzf /mnt/hgfs/Software/IIB9002/IIB_V9.0.0.2_LINUX_X86-64.tar.gz -C /tmp/IIB

Prepare Response Files - as wmbadmin

cp /tmp/IIB/integrationbus_runtime1/sample-scripts/response.properties ~

sed -i'' 's/FALSE/TRUE/g' response.properties

Install Binaries - as wmbadmin

/tmp/IIB/integrationbus_runtime1/setuplinuxx64.bin -i silent -f ~/response.properties -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE 

Validate

cat /opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.2/IBM_Integration_Bus_Install_09_08_2014_16_14_44.log 

...

Ooops - try this first: -

source /opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.2/bin/mqsiprofile 

MQSI 9.0.0.2
/opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.2

/opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.2/bin/mqsilist 

BIP1281I: No brokers have been defined on this machine.
BIP8071I: Successful command completion.

Set up profile for future

echo "source /opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.2/bin/mqsiprofile" >> ~/.bashrc

Job's a good 'un. Now to go and download the IIB Toolkit .....
