IBM Lotus LMS Quick Install Guide
This guide provides a summary of the installation process for LMS 1.0.2. For complete information and instructions,
see the Installation Guide.
Prerequisites for installation
• WebSphere Application Server
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was/library/index.html
The IBM Lotus Learning Management System (LMS) server requires the WebSphere Application Server
(WAS) 5.0 core. If the LMS server is going to make use of multiple server machines, then the user must also
install the WAS Network Deployment (ND) module. In addition, an HTTP server is required. The IBM HTTP
Server included with WAS can be installed to meet the HTTP server requirement.
LMS comes bundled with WAS 5.0 and supports the following OS platforms:
• IBM AIX Release 5.1 or later (PowerPC RISC architecture - pSeries)
• Microsoft Windows 2000 and NT Release 4.0 (Intel 32 architecture)
• Sun Solaris Release 8 or later (UltraSPARC 32/64 architecture - not on Intel)
• Linux Release 2.2 or later (Intel 32/64 architecture with SuSe 7.2 or later and RedHat 7.2 or later only)
• Linux Advanced Server 2.1
• LDAP Server
If an existing LDAP directory is not currently available, then an LDAP directory server must be installed and
configured. The LMS requires an LDAP v3. compliant directory, and supports the following products:
• IBM SecureWay 3.2 - http://www-3.ibm.com/software/network/help-directory/
• IBM Directory Server 4.1 - http://www-3.ibm.com/software/network/help-directory/
• Lotus Domino -

• iPlanet 5.0
• Microsoft Active Directory
• Database Server
If an existing database server is not available, then a database server must be installed and configured. The
LMS requires one of the following databases:
• DB2 UDB 7.2 or later http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support.html
• Microsoft SQL Server 2000 for Windows Advanced Server
• Oracle 8i or later
LMS Installer
The LMS 1.0 Installer prepares the LMS application files for installation. The LMS Installer does not deploy the LMS
enterprise applications to WAS. The LMS Installer uses InstallShield, and runs on all LMS OS platforms. Specifically,
the LMS Installer does the following:
IBM Lotus LMS Release 1 Quick Install Guide 1
1. Allows the user to select which components to install.
The user can install any combination of the following: Learning Management Module (LMM) server
application, the Delivery Server (DS) application, LMS Authoring Tool, and/or LMS utilities (command-line
import and rostering utilities).
2. Prompts the user for the following information, depending upon which components are selected:
• LDAP settings (URL, base distinguished name (DN), username and password, provider). If the LDAP
server is available, there's a button that allows the user to test the LDAP connection.
• LMM server settings, including the base url of the deployed LMM application.
• Delivery Server settings, including the base url of the deployed DS application.
• Administrator settings
• Course content management and deployments settings.
3. Generates database scripts using the information supplied by the user, and depending upon the components
selected, creates the following directory structure in the selected target directory:
• bin: command-line import (CLIMP) and rostering utilities
• discussion: JAR file to be installed on Domino discussion database server
• distribute: Offline Learning Client installer, Authoring Tool installer, content tracking frameset files;
files are moved to the appropriate location by the administrator
• java: IBM JDK used by the utilities in bin
• lib: JAR files used by the utilities in bin
• license: license text files in various languages
• portlet: 3 sample LMS portlets
• prt: product registration files
• scripts: database scripts used to populate the LMS databases
• update: LMS Updater (more information below)
• web-apps: EAR files for the LMM and DS servers, help WAR file, and additional WAR files that contain
only static resources from the LMM and DS
The LMS Installer includes an LMS Updater component, which allows users to change settings that were specified
during the initial install. The Updater presents the same UI as the Installer, with all the properties (except for
passwords) entered on install. The user makes the desired changes, and the Updater generates a set of update
database scripts that must be run to apply the changes to the LMM and DS application databases.
2 IBM Lotus LMS Release 1 Quick Install Guide
Installer Details
