In several installation simulations, this FlexLearning course lets you drive the CLI and UIs in which you will install Information Server and its components on Windows, on UNIX, on a cluster, on a third party database, and in a distributed and highly available environment (All within your browser)

This course begins by discussing basic and advanced options available to you with the Suite Installer for Information Server 8.5 (and any of its product modules such as DataStage). These advanced options include:

  • Web based installation
  • Incremental Un-installation
  • DB2 HADR/Oracle RAC/Engine HA Installation
  • Incremental Installation
  • Distributed Installation
  • HTTPs Based Installation
  • Resume Installation
  • Session Reconnect
  • Update Installation
  • Platform Support
  • Exception handling capability
  • Built in HA support
  • WebSphere cluster support

Then, you will go into a Guided Tour Product Simulation. Here, you will see and use many of the features while you do the following:

  • A basic installation on Windows
  • A basic installation on UNIX
  • Installation on a cluster
  • Install using a third-party database
  • 3-Tier or distributed installation with HA

You can use this tutorial's main menu to navigate directly to any of the types of installation that you want to perform (You don't have to do a basic install on Windows, for example, if you want to go directly to UNIX or you can go directly to installing on a cluster if you wish).

Note: This is a self-paced online course in which the Guided Tour Product Simulation requires no installations: Everything is through your IE 5.0+ browser.

The browser-based product simulation lets you 'learn-by-doing' in a case-study scenario in which you solve a 'real-life' business problem using InfoSphere products.
