Issue/Introduction
2 Extraction of EAR file
2.1 Extracting the ear file for first time
Copy the Identity Manager Installation "im-12.0-cr007-aix.zip" on AIX machine
Unzip the installation at your desired location using unzip
<Please see attached file for image>
Make sure that you can have access to installer GUI, use export command if required
Note: By default the installer uses /tmp as temporary directory of installation. It needs 791806 kb free space in /tmp. If /tmp does not have enough space it will attempt to use the users home directory. If you want to change this location you can use variable IATEMPDIR explicitly to set this
<Please see attached file for image>
The installer will launch

Note: During this installation in final screen you may get "but some errors occurred during installation" message. This can be safely ignored.
Verify that you have two ear files created under your install location. Assuming your install location is /WASdata/identitymanager, verify the following files are created
/WASdata/identitymanager/IAM_Suite/Websphere_ear/WAS_IMr12.ear/WASdata/identitymanager/IAM_Suite/Websphere_ear/WAS_caStyles.earIf you have above two files created, the extraction of ear file is complete.
2.2 Quick Reference of file changes in ear
After the ear has been extracted from the product installer once and it is modified and deployed in dev, in successive environments(Staging and Production), the following files only need to be modified
Sr. No. File Name Location in Ear/War Notes 1 ra.xml IdentityMinder.ear/policyserver.rar/META-INF Needs to be modified for policy server connection for test, staging and prod each. 2 web.xml IdentityMinder.ear/ user_console.war/WEB-INF Need this to modify only once in test, need not modify for staging and prod as value will be same in each environment 3 ra.xml IdentityMinder.ear/workflow.rar/META-INF Needs to be modified for workflow for test, staging and prod each. 4 workpoint-client.properties IdentityMinder.ear/config Needs to be modified for workflow for test, staging and prod each. 5 tews_iam.properties selfservice.war/WEB-INF Needs to be modified for self service URL's for test, staging and prod each. 6 hibernate.cfg.xml selfservice.war/WEB-INF/classes Needs to be modified for self service database connection for test, staging and prod each.

6.4 Modify the UserConsole.war to not use Websphere Classes
The deployment.xml file needs to be edited to ensure the UserConsole.war does not use WebSphere classes . Note: This can also be achieved alternatively thru the websphere admin console by selecting child class loader first for the IMS-UI module.
To edit the deployment.xml file
Edit the deployment.xml found in the following location:
WebSphere_NODE_HOME \profiles\AppSrv02\config\cells\BaseIDMNode02Cell\applications\IdentityMinder.ear\deployments\IdentityMinder\deployment.xmlChange the following lines:
<classloader xmi:id="Classloader_1202404294500" mode="PARENT_FIRST"/><modules xmi:type="appdeployment:WebModuleDeployment" xmi:id="WebModuleDeployment_1202404294500" deploymentId="1" startingWeight="4000" uri="user_console.war"><targetMappings xmi:id="DeploymentTargetMapping_1202404294501" target="ServerTarget_1202404294500"/><classloader xmi:id="Classloader_1202404294501"/></modules>to the following lines:

7. Create JDBC resources in Websphere.
7.1 Prerequisites
Oracle 10g database.
Initial DBA access on Identity Manager database. It can be revoked later
7.2 Creation of resources
Within the WebSphere administrative console, open the appropriate data source descriptor.
Change the JndiName in the data source descriptor according to the following:
Task Persistence: jdbc/idm
Workflow: jdbc/WPDS
Auditing: auditDbDataSource
Reporting: jdbc/reportsnapshot (Please read highlighted note below for this JNDI)
Object Store: jdbc/objectstore
IMCUSTOM: jdbc/IMCUSTOM
Change the DatabaseName, User, and Password in the data source descriptor to the appropriate values for the new database.
The database schema (SQL scripts) will be automatically applied when you restart Identity Manager.
Add the following to Custom Properties:
user=<username>, password=<password>Note: the schema name(user) for reporting JNDI (jdbc/reportsnapshot) is different than remaining JNDI
Note: Ensure that the JDBC provider is created as XA. Below is the screenshot for datasource Object store. Provide similar information for remaining datasources and make sure you can test the connections successfully.
