Installing IBM maximo 7.6

Hello Everyone, in this post I ll explain the whole process of installing IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6

To me, the hardest part was just the organizing what comes out from the zip files, because once you unzip them, you need put them in a specific directory to make installer able to find those files and use it. And I do not think, none of you guys will have trouble with the rest.  

Okay Step 1.

• To be able to install maximo, you are gonna need to install middleware too, I mean Websphere and as I mentioned before, installer is not able to find your websphere setup files. So go through your Middl_Inst_WAS_855_1of3_Win directory and please do it your second and thirt part too, and in the native and files folder, you are gonna find a lot of files, cut them and paste it to the part 1 natives and files folder. 

Step 2, finish the combining middleware parts

Step 3, once you finish combining middleware parts you are gonna need to put one specific folder into installer folder. 

and the folder name is something like this : mam76\Install\mwi_WASv8.5.3_images

Step 4, Now we are ready to launch installer, I mean "launchpad64.exe". After launching that exe you are gonna see a layout like this.

Once you open it you will see a couple of options like if you wanna install db2 database which I don't like or you can configure the installation process.

Step 5, We are gonna install all the packages.

Step 6, After middleware installation process finish, a configuration panel will pop up, So click configure and wait between 30 minutes and 60 minutes.

Step 7, now go back to installer again and now we are installing Maximo 7.6, I mean just click the Maximo 7.6 product and leave the others unchecked.

Step 8, Click next

Step 9, Click next

Step 10, wait until the installation process finishes. you are gonna see sth like this also.

Step 11, After it finishes, you are gonna see this layout.

https://127.0.0.1:9043/ibm/console/logon.jsp and by using this link you can check if your middleware is working or not.

Step 12, and at this point we are gonna go back to configuration panel and we are gonna start making configuration for maximo.  Click Prepare configuration.

Once you click it you are gonna see this layout first, at this point you, maximo needs you to point where the database is which maximo is gonna use.

Step 13,  Fill these textboxes with valid info and click next.

Step 14, Click next

Step 15, Fill Database connection information and click next.

Step 16, Give a Websphere admin console name and password and leave the others untouched. Then click next. 

Step 17, for maximo admin group users indicate the passwords so they will be able to login by using those passwords.

Step 18, Choose the base language then click next.

Step 19, Choose the second language then click next.

Step 20, and finally we get to build maximo.ear file, just click finish and sat back,

Step 21, wait until this process finishes and once you see below message panel.
