Enhancement ticket for the product future Installations

We request IBM to open an Enhancement ticket for the issue that we are struggling for MDM, BackUp MDM, FTA, Patch, etc. installations.

[1] 'root' / 'sudo-root' access requirement: We aren't allowed to be
'root' or 'sudo-root' on a system and execute the IBM's installation
script of which we again aren't aware of what all changes / setup it
runs. We had multiple discussions and convincing to do to acquire 7-
days temporary 'sudo-root' access for it.

[2] DBA schema or a schema with DBA privileges req: We are strictly prohibited to use DBA schema or assign DBA privileges to any schema for the installation. Moreover, we aren't aware of what all impact it will create on running the priviledged account. Hence, it gets
difficult to convince the DBA. We had to take the sole responsibility
of the impact of using DBA priviledge assigned schema for the activity.

ENHANCEMENT REQUIRED: For both the above cases, we need an independent script for both SA (System Admins) and DBA activities (of which they will assess and run it)- followed by an TWS Admin script to integrate both the setups.

    For 1) for traditional script installation you can do it without root privileges for DWC and dynamic agents, alternatively you can use the containerized installation.

    For 2) the steps requiring DBA authority have been isolated in a separated script.

    Both enhancements are available from V9.5.

    Comment about the bullet 1 of the RFE.
    It requires for the WAS authentication to be switched to WAS File-Based repository at installation time (for the MDM).
    Note that all the other WAS security configuration (LDAP, localOS security adapter) can be performed as post-installation step after the success of the install.

    In this way the post-install can easily be done by the customer to correctly match the requirement of the target system, and also simplifying the TWS
    installation.
