Follow the installation checklist

This checklist summarizes the major steps of installing DB2 OLAP Server and DB2 OLAP Integration Server:

__   1.
Read about the new features and functions in DB2 OLAP Server and DB2 OLAP Integration Server in Analytic Services New Features and Integration Services New Features, respectively. You can read these books from our Web site:

http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/db2olap/library.html

Alternatively, you can install these books and all the documentation for DB2 OLAP Server and DB2 OLAP Integration Server before you install the product. See Installing the documentation for more information.

__   2.
Verify that you have the hardware and software required by DB2 OLAP Server and DB2 OLAP Integration Server. See Hardware and software requirements.
__   3.
Determine what products and features that you purchased and are entitled to install.
__   4.
Determine what free features and options you want to install.
__   5.
If you have an earlier version of DB2 OLAP Server on your computer, prepare for migration:
__   a.
Back up your previous installation directory, or at least following files:
  • Your data
  • Essbase.sec
  • license.*
__   b.
DB2 OLAP Server Miner does not support migration from V8.1 to V8.1.2, which is the version shipped with DB2 OLAP Server V8.2. If you previously installed V8.1 and want to upgrade to V8.1.2, you must first back up the OLAP Miner data files and configuration files for both the server and clients. The OLAP Miner server configuration file is omserver.cfg and the file for the clients is omclient.cfg. Then you must uninstall OLAP Miner V8.1 before you can install V8.1.2.

Make sure you understand the issues involved with migration. Read Upgrading and migrating from earlier versions before continuing.
