Creating Remote Control server installation tasks

With the Remote Control Server Installer Wizard, you can create an installation task to install a remote control server.

About this task

Run the task on a Windows™® system or Linux™ (Red Hat and SUSE) systems to install a fully functional, self-contained Remote Control server with either of the following component setups:
  • Remote Control server with WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Profile version and a Derby database.

  • Remote Control server with WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Profile version and one of the following databases:

    • IBM DB2 11.5 Virtual Processor Core (VPC).
    • Oracle 11g, 12c, and 19c.

      When you use an Oracle database, if you are using the Oracle 11g drivers, set oracle.increment.keys.off=1 in the trc.properties file. Restart the server service.

    • Microsoft SQL server 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022.

      You must use a JDBC driver whose version is higher than 6.3. Older versions do not support TLS1.2 or JRE8.

      When you use an MS SQL database, Windows™ authentication is not supported. You cannot log on with a domain user. You must use mixed mode authentication and create an SQL user to connect to the database.
Note:
  1. If you choose the DB2®, MS SQL or Oracle database options, you must install the database and create a database instance before you run the server installation task.
  2. If you are using DB2® 9.7 GA version, you must upgrade to DB2® 9.7 fix pack 1 due to a DB2® issue where NULL values are returned in generated key values.
