On Linux navigate to the root directory of the downloaded installation image and run following command:

chmod -R +755 *

./launchpad.sh

Important: The launchpad can be run on either Windows or Linux. However, oonly the options to install the middleware will function on both platforms. The options to install the Maximo components will only work from the launchpad when running on Windows.

Basically, the deployment of the Maximo components requires the dynamic building of .EAR and other support files. These processes currently only work on a Windows platform. If they are to be installed on a Linux target, then the launchpad (running on Windows) will communicate to the target system and direct the install of the .EAR and other files through the remote connection.

You will be led through a series of screens including language selection, welcome, license agreement and so on.

Be aware that the installation images for the middleware must be available and may be located on another DVD within your product media. During this installation process you will be prompted for the location of the middleware images.You will also be prompted for information such as the workspace to be used by the middleware installer.

3.From the Deployment Choices panel as shown in Figure 5-2, select the features to deploy on this machine, and then click Next. Choices include:

Database Server: The Maximo Asset Management Essentials database is used to store information about Assets.

J2EE Server: The J2EE server is used to host and manage the Maximo Asset Management Essentials application. If you choose to only install the J2EE server portion of the middleware, you will be prompted to supply the directory server you will use to secure it. Your choices will be to secure with an existing instance of IBM Tivoli Directory Server, or an existing instance of Microsoft Active Directory.

Directory Server: Data maintained by the directory server is used to secure Maximo Asset Management Essentials.

Note, for a multiple server environment, you could launch this installer on separate systems and choose to install individual middleware components on the individual systems.
