Maximo Essentials V7.1 - Implementer’s Guide

The first step in the installation is to ensure all the necessary middleware is 
installed and properly configured.The following sections describe how to do this.

Before you can install IBM Maximo Asset Management Essentials, there are 
several middleware products that must be deployed.

Specifically, you must install and deploy the following software:

Maximo Asset Management Essentials uses the Maximo database to store 
details about the attributes and history of each configuration item and the details 
about the relationships between configuration items.

You can manually install a new instance of DB2 UDB 9.1, or use a preexisting 
instance of DB2 UDB 8.2 or DB2 UDB 9.1, or install and configure Oracle 10 or 
MS SQL Server 2005 for your Maximo Asset Management Essentials 
deployment.

The directory server is used to secure the Maximo Asset Management 
Essentials J2EE application. You have the choice of configuring a preexisting MS 
Active Directory server. Note,this installation step is applicable only if you are 
enabling J2EE security.

The J2EE server is the application server used to serve and manage the Maximo 
Asset Management Essentials application.You must have an instance of BEA 
WebLogic Server or IBM WebSphere installed in your environment.

The Maximo Asset Management Essentials product provides a Middleware 
Installer, that will provide a standard installation of the middleware listed above 
with minimal effort. It installs the following versions of middleware:

– DB2-ESE_9.1.0
– DB2-ESE_9.1.0_FP4

– Rational®-AgentController_7.0.3.1
