Installation Manager
 Starting from TWA 9.1 we adopted a new installation infrastructure based
on IBM Installation Manager
 IBM Installation Manager:
 An installation software widely used
 Strong data validation to avoid software installation issues
 Software and hardware prerequisites checking embedded in the installation panels
 Rollback of installed packages
 Based on software repositories
 It allows to check for available fixes, updates or extensions of a software

Advantages of the new installation infrastructure
●
Improved
installation and
recovery
procedure:
TWS/DWC
prerequisite are
separate offerings
with their own life
cycle.
 Automatic prerequisite discovery: One UI manage deployment of all
IBM components, included DB2.

Dynamic Workload Console software prerequisites:
●
WebSphere Application Server 8.5
WebSphere is not embedded anymore in the DWC installation: it will be installed
separately using Installation Manager.
●
The IBM WebSphere Application Server family is the leading open standards-based
Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) compliant application foundation offering
broad programming model choice and lower total cost of ownership through high
performance and high manageability.
●
●
Jazz for Service Management 1.1
JazzSM offers infrastructural services to the UI (administration, security, reporting,
etc...). The DWC web application is installed on top of the JazzSM profile
●
●
Dashboard Application Services Hub 3.1
the new version of the UI based portal server, and comes with improved look and
feel, improved performance, simplified deployment process on an updated
software stack (Websphere 8.5, Java 7)
●
the user interface in Jazz for Service Management, and provides a single portal for
administering IBM products and related applications

Integration: Use Linked Data and OSLC ( http://open-services.net/ ) to
quickly provide information that is easily consumed by multiple applications
Dashboarding: Build interactive dashboards for desktop and mobile using a
vast palette of widgets (such as charts, gauges, and topology) to integrate
data from various Tivoli products or 3rd parties (such as from databases or
files).
Reporting: Deliver compelling reports for desktop and mobile of your product.
Configuration: Manage & check the configuration of your application via the
Administration Services and the new centralized Administration UI.
Security: Security Services – Enables the standard Websphere single sign-on
capability to non-Websphere apps.

The TDWC prerequisites are external components that can be shared
with other applications
For example WebSphere is not “embedded” in the TDWC/TWS
infrastructure anymore and so can be used as the Application Server of
other enterprise applications
