7.1 Installing Analyzer

Analyzer is a workstation-based tool that allows you to analyze, clean, and prepare your data for synchronization with Identity Manager. You should install Analyzer and use it throughout the planning part of your Identity Manager implementation. For more information about planning, see Section I, Planning.

  1. Verify that your workstation’s operating system is supported.

    For more information, see Section 6.6, Workstations.

  2. Ensure that you have downloaded the necessary Identity Manager files from the Novell Downloads Web site. For more information, see Section 5.0, Where to Get Identity Manager.

  3. Start the installation by executing the correct program for your workstation’s platform.

    Linux: IDM4.0.1_Lin/products/Analyzer/install

    To execute the binary file, enter ./install.

    Windows: IDM4.0.1_Win:/products/Analyzer/install.exe

  4. Use the following information to complete the installation:

    Install Location: Specify a location on the workstation where to install Analyzer.

    Create Short Cuts and Select a Language: Select where you want short cuts for Analyzer created on the desk top, and select the language you want to use to install Analyzer.

Analyzer is now installed. The first time you launch Analyzer you are prompted for an activation. Until you activate Analyzer, you cannot use it. For more information, see Section 8.0, Activating Novell Identity Manager Products.
