Depending on deployment size, operating system and security considerations you have different options to configure IBM Connections. This session will show good and bad examples on how to do it from multiple customer deployments. IBM Champion Christoph Stoettner will describe things he found and how you can optimize your systems. This is valuable information that will help you to be successful in your next IBM Connections deployment project.
Debugging IBM Connections for the Impatient Admin - Social Connections VIIMartin Leyrer
With relational databases, LDAP servers, files shares and a lot of Java components, IBM Connections is a complex environment to install and operate. A diverse set of settings and tools is needed in case something does not work as expected.
In this talk I will present you the “Best Practices” and debugging settings for Connections that will offer additional information quick, in case something goes wrong. Also, I will offer you recommendations for tools your customer should provide you on the server so you can work out any issues efficiently.

EFI is a very hot topic now because more and more hardware vendors are providing some new systems with it. The long term goal is a total removal of legacy BIOS support. It means that Xen should be prepared for that case. Indeed it is mostly ready. During this presentation it will be shown what EFI is in real and how Xen and other required pieces use EFI infrastructure. However, there are still some shortcomings in Xen and they will be described too. There will be also some guidance how to efficiently start Xen on EFI platform. Some guests topics related to EFI also will be covered.
Victor Toal - IBM Connections: So you have it installed – now what?LetsConnect
You have successfully installed IBM Connections in your environment – but now what comes next? Installation is one thing, but keeping your new environment up and running requires a different focus:
What are some of the regular actions you should be doing to proactively keep your environment running?
Where do you start looking when something looks wrong?
How do you fulfill some of the requests users now come to you with?
How do you correctly change configurations without breaking what you just built?
These questions and more are what we will explore during our conversation about IBM Connections.
Running open source PHP applications on you IBM iProximity Group
At International i-Power 2015, Pete Samways presented a hands-on workshop entitled 'Running open source products on your IBM i'.
As the IBM i is a more open platform than it has ever been, it has become an excellent platform for running and developing web and mobile applications. In this practical workshop, attendees were guided through the process of installing and running open source PHP applications on their IBM i such as Drupal, Magento, WordPress, Mantis Bug Tracker and Sugar CRM. The session included live and guided demonstrations of installing Zend Server, Zend DBi and the applications themselves from a .zpk or from source.
Download the slides from the workshop to find out about more about Zend Server, some top tips for configuring Zend Server, what open source is, why PHP for open source and the advantages of PHP on the IBM i.
Create a welcoming development environment on IBM iAlan Seiden
Thanks to languages such as PHP, young developers are entering the IBM i world, but may be unprepared for their new environment. They may not realize that IBM i has an SSH shell environment that can have them feeling at home and productive.
This talk will offer tools and tips to allow developers to work from a UNIX command line in the manner they may be used to (with minor adjustments) on IBM i. Improve job satisfaction with the tips presented here.
Topics will include:
* create a chroot environment for safe experimentation on IBM i
* install bash shell with tab autocomplete and other familar features
* access DB2 and IBM i operations from the command line
* use familiar editing tools such as vi
* use php-cli efficiently

Your App Deserves More – The Art of App ModernizationKlaus Bild
Make your data sustainable and enhance the value of your applications. Your application and your work deserve it! We use applications everywhere but unfortunately a lot of them are old and monolithic. They are heavily used by your business but adding new functions to catch up with the business needs is almost impossible. We, a developer and an admin, will show you how you can transform your monolithic applications into modern apps using a smart architecture. Learn how you can leverage IBM Bluemix, Docker and suchlike to bring cognitive services to your applications. We will show you a live example to illustrate how we extended IBM Verse using IBM cloud technology to fulfill an urgent business need.

7.1.1
(including
Fixpack

Profiles
11. How
to
install
IIM
silently
• We
only
want
to
define
Installa:on
Directory
and
log
path
• Can
be
easily
done
with
command
line
arguments

./installc -log /opt/InstallationFiles/log/IIM.log -acceptLicense
-installationDirectory /opt/IBM/IIM –showProgress
Always
use
the
latest
32bit
IIM
version
(1.8
as
of
today)
12. How
to
install
WAS
silently
• Has
to
be
installed
with
IIM
• A
lot
of
parameters
have
to
be
defined
(paths,
install
files,
…)
• Not
all
of
them
can
be
provided
by
command
line
arguments
-‐>
We
will
use
a
response
file
• But
first
we
have
to
create
the
response
file
13. Create
a
response
file
for
WAS
Can
only
be
done
through
GUI
/opt/IBM/IIM/eclipse/IBMIM -record /opt/InstallFiles/
ResponseFiles/install_WAS.xml -skipInstall /opt/
InstallFiles/Skipped
14. Create
a
response
file
for
WAS
• Define
what
should
be
installed
(WAS
will
directly
be
installed
with
FP2)
16. Create
a
response
file
for
WAS
Iden:fy
all
variables
which
should
be
customisable
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

19. Create
a
response

</install>
21. Create
a
response
file
for
WAS
Replace
all
variables
with
placeholders
and
add
them
to
the
beginning
of
the
response
file
…
<agent-input acceptLicense='true'>
<variables>
<variable name='HTTP'/>
<variable name='WAS_DIR'/>
<variable name='WAS_PLUGIN_DIR'/>

<data key='eclipseLocation' value='${WAS_DIR}'/>…
22. Run
a
silent
install
of
WAS
Now
run
a
silent
install
with
the
template
and
provide
all
needed
variables
(one
line)
/opt/IBM/IIM/eclipse/tools/imcl
-input /opt/InstallFiles/ResponseFiles/install_WAS.xml
-acceptLicense -showProgress
-variables HTTP=/opt/IBM/HTTPServer,WAS_DIR=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/
AppServer,WAS_PLUGIN_DIR=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins,WAS_TOOL_DIR=/
opt/IBM/WebSphere/Toolbox,IIM_SHARED=/opt/IBM/
IMShared,INSTALL_PATH=/opt/InstallFiles/
23. Configure
WAS
• Create
Cell
(Dmgr,
AppServer)
• Configure
LDAP
• Define
Admin
• Enable
Applica:on
security
• Define
SSO
domain
Will
be
done
with
some
python
scripts
and
wsadmin
-‐>
Use
Connec:ons
Community
Scripts
to
speed
up
installa:on,
configura:on
and
documenta:on
25. Create
a
response
files
for
DB2
Can
be
done
with
DB2
Setup
wizard
Remark:
Start
with
the
Fixpack
from
the
beginning
(don’t
forget
to
import
license
key!)
/opt/InstallFiles/DB2/universal/db2setup
26. Create
a
response
file
for
TDI/
Connec:ons
Can
be
done
with
TDI
Setup
wizard
./install_tdiv711_linux_x86_64.bin -r /opt/
InstallFiles/ResponseFiles/install_TDI2.rsp
Can
be
done
with
the
IIM
/opt/IBM/IIM/eclipse/IBMIM -record /opt/
InstallFiles/ResponseFiles/install_Conn5.xml -
skipInstall /opt/InstallFiles/Skipped
29. Configura:on
of
IBM
Connec:ons
• Define
HIS
• File
download
through
IHS
• Heap
Sizes
• Max/Min
datasources
• J2EE
security
roles
• …
30. Let
put
this
all
together
Combine
Steps
• Create
a
Python
script
for
the
menu
which
combines
all
scripts
• Work
with
templates
• Replace
placeholders
in
these
templates
through
scrip:ng
and
create
an
actual
response
file
• Execute
silent
installers
with
command
line
arguments
and
response
files
