So, I had to get a &#8220;Passport Advantage&#8221; login and re-download the software I needed.<\/p>\n<p>Then, they thought I didn&#8217;t have a licensed version of the server software I was supposed to be installing, so they made me go download it again. This actually fixed the first problem.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I have install something called the &#8220;Integrated Solutions Console&#8221;, a gargantuan 500-meg Java-based FRONT END (Yes, the *Front End* is 500 Megs).<\/p>\n<p>Which failed. It took me three days to determine the nature of the failure. I had to look in one log file, which told me to look in another log file, which said, in CLEAR TEXT, <\/p>\n<p><strong>CWLAA9082:&nbsp;Laptop123! is not a valid value for the key -W securityConfig.adminPass<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Their tech support then informed me that my password must be at least 5 characters! Well, she was wrong, the problem was that it may not contain an EXCLAMATION POINT! My intuition was correct, and finally, this 500 mb &#8220;Up to 2 hours&#8221; installation was done&#8230; Or was it?<\/p>\n<p>NO! Because now, the integrated solutions console was installed, but it&#8217;s only the FRAMEWORK for what I REALLY need, which is the ADMINISTRATION console! Do you think that it installs?<\/p>\n<p>If you said, Yes, YOU ARE WRONG!!! it does not install!!! Why? Well, because<\/p>\n<p><strong>ERROR: Unable to add health monitor jar to classpath.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m on my 3rd PMR with IBM! simply to get the product INSTALLED.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Look at the following. don&#8217;t read it, just observe how huge it is.

I think I know what the problem was. <br \/>I had an exclamation point as part of the original password I was using. If you try<br \/>it yourself, I think you&#8217;ll notice that that does not work. <br \/>Now, would it be out of line for me to suggest that perhaps one extra line of text in<br \/>the install program might&#8217;ve saved me 3 days of work? Sorry. I don&#8217;t mean to come<br \/>down on you. It&#8217;s a development team problem, not a support team problem, I know. But<br \/>Does IBM ever do usability studies? It seems common sense to any developer that if<br \/>you&#8217;re asking for some input field, and that input field has certain restrictions<br \/>that will crash your program 10 minutes later, that you do DATA VALIDATION on them<br \/>BEFORE any any attempt at processing is made. The install program could easily be<br \/>made to say, &#8220;Please enter a password (minimum 5 characters, uppercase, lowercase,<br \/>and digits only):&#8221; <br \/>Otherwise you end up with irate users like me, who cause headaches for the poor<br \/>support group. \ud83d\ude42 <br \/>Anyway, you may consider this PMR Closed, and thanks for your support. <br \/>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>From: Jenny McCann [mailto:foremanj@us.ibm.com] <br \/>Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 3:27 PM<br \/>To:&nbsp; A.<br \/>Subject: RE: PMR 19905,999,000<br \/>OK, does this shed any light on anything? <br \/>ac_install.log <br \/>********************************************************************************<br \/>Starting a new install instance at [November 21, 2006 11:13:42 AM EST] <br \/>********************************************************************************<br \/>[November 21, 2006 11:13:53 AM EST] CWLAA9082: &lt;MyPassword&gt; is not a valid value for<br \/>the key -W securityConfig.adminPass <br \/>Hi&nbsp; <br \/>Sorry for the delay in response.
