Step 2. Run the IBM i Installer

Step 2. Run the IBM i Installer

You can use the IBM i Installer to transfer the PowerExchange software to the IBM i system and update PowerExchange configuration options.
  1. Start the IBM i Installer in one of the following ways:
    • In File Explorer, navigate to the PowerExchange installation directory and locate the
      pwxins.exe
       file. Double-click
      pwxins.exe
       to launch the installer.
    • In a Windows command window, navigate to the installation directory for PowerExchange. Type
      pwxins.exe
       and press Enter to launch the installer.
  2. In the
    Local File Name
     field, enter the name of the IBM i save file that you extracted to the Windows computer.
    For more information, see Step 1. Extract the Save File on Windows.
  3. Optionally, in the
    User Name
     and
    Password
     fields, enter a user ID and password if you want to change ownership of the PowerExchange software library. Otherwise, use the same user ID and password that you entered for the full installation.
    The user ID must comply with the requirements described in User ID Requirements.
  4. If you need to update the license key, select the
    Configure PWX license key
    check box.
  5. If you need to update DBMOVER configuration options, select the
    Configure IBM i DBMOVER file
     check box.
  6. If you configured the IBM i system to access DB2 for i metadata on a remote system for CDC, select the
    Configure remote database
     check box. Then complete the fields that allow PowerExchange to connect to the remote system.
  7. Click
    OK
     to run the installation process.
    The next steps depend on the configuration options you selected:
    • If you selected the
      Configure PWX license key
      check box, the
      Configure PWX License Key
       dialog box appears. For more information, see Step 3. Enter the License Key.
    • If you selected the
      Configure IBM i DBMOVER file
       check box, the
      Configure IBM i DBMOVER File
       dialog box appears. For more information, see Step 4. Configure the DBMOVER Configuration File Options.
    • If you did not select either option, the installation process begins, and a progress bar tracks the installation progress. When the installation process completes, the IBM i installer issues a success message.
  8. After the installation completes, click the Close button (X) at the top right corner of the IBM i Installer to close the window.
    Use the
    Reset
     button at the bottom of the window to clear all of the information in the window.
