A stand-alone installation installs InfoSphere MDM, IBM WebSphere Application Server, and IBM DB2 in a single run of IBM Installation Manager.
Stand-alone workstation installations additionally include InfoSphere MDM Workbench and IBM Rational Application Developer.
The stand-alone installation deployment type offers the quickest time between completing the installation and running your first transaction.
Stand-alone installations for servers or workstations are supported for InfoSphere MDM Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise Editions.
Important: Stand-alone installation deployments must be performed on a clean server or a clean workstation. Your server or workstation machine must not have any preexisting InfoSphere MDM components, IBM WebSphere Application Server, or IBM DB2 already installed. This means that you cannot run both the
workstation and server stand-alone installations on the same machine, as they will each try to install similar pieces, causing a conflict.
Use a stand-alone installation for server or workstation when you:
v Must be up and running in a short amount of time.
v Plan to use a new IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows database.
v Are installing IBM WebSphere Application Server for the first time.
v Are installing on Microsoft Windows (workstation only), IBM AIX®(server only), Linux (server only), or Solaris (server only) operating systems.
Stand-alone installations install all InfoSphere MDM operational server and database capabilities on a single target computer and can be run in graphical or silent mode.
Stand-alone installations are started using LaunchPad. When LaunchPad opens, you can select to use a stand-alone server installation or a stand-alone workstation installation. That selection then does one of two actions:
v Installs IBM Installation Manager if it is not already installed.
v Starts IBM Installation Manager if it is installed. If you do not have the current version of IBM Installation Manager, an update automatically begins.
After the installation is complete, you can opt to return and install any additional components using the Modify installation option.

“Features installed by IBM Installation Manager” on page 8 Stand-alone server installation with DB2:
A stand-alone server installation implies that you are selecting to install an InfoSphere MDM edition, IBM WebSphere Application Server, and IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows on a server.
This illustration shows a stand-alone server installation with DB2.
For a stand-alone server installation with DB2, IBM Installation Manager completes the following process.
1. Installs IBM WebSphere Application Server (network deployment) with default messaging and IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
2. Installs the InfoSphere MDM operational server, database component, and the two data stewardship applications (InfoSphere MDM Data Steward UI and InfoSphere MDM Inspector). The MDM static content is content that the installer extracts into the installation directory (MDM_INSTALL_HOME). Static content can include client applications like Batch Processor, Management Agent, Management Console, MDM Collector, MDM configuration scripts (madconfig utility scripts), and other applications using default settings.
3. Automatically creates your IBM WebSphere Application Server profile and configures your database, application server, and data stewardship applications.
4. The installation process finally deploys the MDM components to the application server.

A stand-alone workstation installation with DB2 implies that you are selecting to install an InfoSphere MDM edition, IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, IBM Rational Application Developer, and
InfoSphere MDM Workbench on a Microsoft Windows or Linux workstation.
This illustration shows a stand-alone workstation installation with DB2. Like the server scenario, you download IBM WebSphere Application Server (base
deployment), IBM DB2, your InfoSphere MDM edition, and InfoSphere MDM Workbench.
For a stand-alone workstation installation with DB2, IBM Installation Manager completes the following actions:
1. Installs IBM WebSphere Application Server (base deployment) with default messaging, IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, and IBM Rational Application Developer.
