5.4.2 Maximo Asset Management Essentials Installation

Avoid using localhost for host name values in the install program. Specify the actual fully qualified host name of the system for all host name values. To install Maximo Asset Management Essentials base services, follow these steps:

1.Login as a user with administrative authority. Launch the Tivoli middleware

installer from the launchpad. In the launchpad navigation pane, click Install the Product → Maximo Asset Management Essentials.

2.You will now be presented with a series of screens prompting you for parameters related to your middleware environment. If you used the middleware installer, then most of these parameters will be pre-filled. If you installed your middleware manually, you will need to provide the appropriate values for each of the middleware components.

3.A special installation application (called Install Anywhere) will be installed and initiated for installing the rest of the components. Install Anywhere is based on IBM’s Autonomic installation technology, which helps drive complex, multi-step installations.

4.You will be prompted information related to your middleware environment. If you had used the Middleware installer, you will be prompted to use the configuration information that was saved by the middleware installer to automatically prefill many of these parameters.

From the Import Middleware Configuration Information panel, specify that you want to use the field values you input into the Tivoli Middleware installer as default values for those same fields in the Maximo Asset Management Essentials installation program.

–The middleware default information will not be used if you select the Simple deployment path.

–Host name: Enter the host name of the system where the Tivoli middleware installer was run.

–User ID: Enter the User ID that was used to run the Tivoli middleware installer.

–Password: Enter the password of the User ID that was used to run the Tivoli middleware installer.
