    DSPUSRPRF user-id

    where user-id is the name of your user profile.

Installing the Domino® server on IBM® i and configuring the server after install

About this task

There are several ways you can begin the installation of the Domino® software. Each way provides a slightly different experience, but all accomplish the same tasks. You can install the Domino® software using any of the following methods:

  • Run the OS400Install.exe file. This method allows the product media to be located in either the workstation or the optical drive of the IBM® i system.
  • Use RSTLICPGM commands to install each option from saved files.

After you complete the installation, you can configure a new Domino® server by launching the Domino® Server Setup wizard (domwzd.bat) on a workstation that has Microsoft™ Windows™ installed or use the CFGDOMSVR command on the IBM® i system. To upgrade a Domino® server to the new release, use the UPDDOMSVR command.
