Web Based Mode for Ibm Installation Manager 1.8

With the Release of Ibm Installation Manager 1.8.0 , IBM has added one more Mode for Installation/Un-Installation etc of Websphere Product viz the Web Based Mode

So we have the Following Modes in IIM 1.8:
1) Graphical Mode
2) Silent mode
3) Console Mode
4) Web Based Mode

I have downloaded 1.8.2 for Linux from IBM FIX central . Click HERE for the download

NOTE : Use this Mode ONLY if you have trouble accessing the other Modes . Ensure  you have a Very Stable and High Speed Network to try this But I would not Recommend it

If there is any glitch in the network your installation may be in an inconsistent State Hence use Web Based as a Last Resort

Activity :
a) Install IIM 1.8.2
b) Start the ibmim-web Services from IIM
c) Access the IIM using browser
d) Change the port no of Ibmim-web

Steps :
1) Installation of IIM 1.8.2

a) Download IIM 1.8.2 from Fix Central
b) Extract the zip file in the server

2) Start the IIM Web Mode
The Modules needed to run the IIM Web is allready installed with the IIM 1.8.2 installation under /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/web/ibmim-web

a)  To start the Webserver which will start the IIM Web Mode execute the “ibmim-web”
Its present in /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/web/ibmim-web

Once this command is run it will also prompt the url for accessing the web iim . Here in this case its http://10.0.0.03:9090/ibmim

===============================================================

There may be situations wherein you would want to change the Port No of the IBM IM – Web
It could be due to the following

2) Company policy to have a specific range of Ports
3) Difficulty in opening the firewall ports etc etc

1) You could terminate the process or Break the command prompt using Ctrl+C
2) Or to stop the web server, from the main menu, select File > Stop server.

Edit the ibmim-web.ini file to change the port no . This file is within the /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/web/ibmim

There are two parameters like
