Note:

 When creating groups in the LDIF file, you must create their 

Distinguished Name (DN) with the base DN used for the Tivoli Provisioning

For example, dn: cn=OfferingSubscriber,dc=ibm,dc=com.

IBM Dynamic Infrastructure for mySAP installation on 

the Tivoli Provisioning Manager server

The Standard Installer for IBM Dynamic Infrastructure for mySAP was used and 

the instructions on the screen were fairly self explanatory. For further information, 

refer to 

IBM Dynamic Infrastructure Enterprise Edition for mySAP Business Suite 

Installation and Customization, BOEE EUIN

.

Before you begin the installation procedure, make sure the following actions have 

been performed:

The management environment meets the hardware and software 

prerequisites.

Java Runtime Environment 1.4.1 or later is installed on the management 

server.

All mandatory patches have been applied to IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager 

V2.1 and IBM WebSphere Application Server. For the latest patches and 

fixes, visit the Tivoli Provisioning Manager Web site at:

http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliProvisioningM

anager.html

Ensure that the SAP Java Connector (JCo) is installed on the management 

server. SAP JCo It is not included in the regular SAP customer release. The 

current JCo package is available at the SAP Service Marketplace Web page 

at 

http://service.sap.com/connectors

. In order to download the JCo 

package, you must have an SAP Service Marketplace account. 

The latest version of the IBM Dynamic Infrastructure for mySAPQ supported 

managed through (boot servers) servers should be installed on the Tivoli 

Provisioning Manager server. These are the NIM or z/VM automation 

packages. The latest Tivoli Provisioning Manager automation packages are 

available at the IBM Orchestration and Provisioning Automation Library:

http://www.developer.ibm.com/isv/tivoli/workflow.html

In our case study scenario, we must have the latest version of the z/VM 

automation package, as shown in Figure 3 on page 13.
