## IBM InfoSphere MDM Plugin Installation

### Downloading

IBM InfoSphere MDM Components for CloverETL Server are downloaded as a ZIP file containing the extension. The ZIP file is available for download under your account on www.cloveretl.com in CloverETL Server download area, under the Utilities section as `ibm-mdm-connectors.${version}.zip` file.

### Requirements

Requirements of IBM InfoSphere MDM Components:

- supported OS are Microsoft Windows 32 bit, Microsoft Windows 64 bit, Linux 64 bit, and Mac OS X Cocoa

- at least 512MB of RAM

- installed CloverETL Server

The support for 32 bit Linux was removed in 4.5.0.

### Installation into Server

The following steps are needed to install IBM InfoSphere MDM Components into CloverETL Server:

1. Install CloverETL Server, see its documentation for details.

2. Download the ZIP file with IBM InfoSphere MDM Components for Server and store it on the system where CloverETL Server is installed. See Downloading for instructions for the download.

3. The ZIP file contains a CloverETL plugin. Your Server installation needs to be configured to find and load the plugin from the ZIP file. This is done by setting the `engine.plugins.additional.src` Server configuration property to the absolute path of the ZIP file, e.g. `engine.plugins.additional.src=c:/Server/ibm-mdm-connectors.4.5.0.zip` (in case the Server is configured via a property file).

   Details for setting the configuration property depend on your Server installation specifics, application server used etc. See CloverETL Server documentation for details. Typically the property would be set similarly to how you set-up the properties for connection to the Server's database. Updating the configuration property usually requires restart of the Server.

4. To verify that the plugin was loaded successfully, login to the Server's Reporting Console and look in the Configuration > CloverETL Info > Plugins page. In the list of plugins you should see `cloveretl.engine.initiate`.

### Troubleshooting

If you get an `Unknown component` or `Unknown connection` error when running a graph with IBM InfoSphere MDM components, it means that the IBM InfoSphere MDM Components plugin was not loaded by the Server successfully. Please check the above steps to install the plugin, especially the path to the ZIP file.
