Hello all, I am trying to find the document describing the ODM 9.5 install on Tomcat 10.1 Java 21  on Linux. I found the document for v 8.5  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSQP76_8.5.1/com.ibm.odm.distrib.config.tom/odm_distrib_config_tom_ibmbook.pdf

the most confounding question is - where do i get product WAR files? I do see the following files after unzipping the original distribution tar files. Are those zip files meant to be unzipped and the wars inside installed on Tomcat?  Does it mean that those war files have already all libraries/jars packaged that are needed to run ODM components?  Thanks in advance! 

ODM95]$ find | grep tomcat
./disk2/DC/native/com.ibm.websphere.odm.dc.dts.tomcat_9.5.0.20250527-2239.zip
./disk1/DecisionServerRules/native/com.ibm.websphere.odm.ds.rules.res.tomcat_9.5.0.20250527-2239.zip
ODM95]$ unzip -t ./disk1/DecisionServerRules/native/com.ibm.websphere.odm.ds.rules.res.tomcat_9.5.0.20250527-2239.zip

The disks are to be used by the installer.
You need to use installation manager to install ODM products on the machine. 

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/odm/9.5.0?topic=components-installing-locally

As part of the installation steps you will be asked which application server you are using, there select tomcat.

As a result you will find the artifacts in the following folders 
ODM_HOME/teamserver/applicationservers/tomcat and ODM_HOME/executionservers/applicationservers/tomcat

Thank you @Alain Robert! This is exactly what i was looking for and did not find in documentation.

I was able to imcl -c, which brought me eventually to this menu:

=====> IBM Installation Manager> Install> Fixes> Licenses> Location>
  Translations> Features
 
Decision Center
     1. [X] Decision Center
     2. [ ] Decision Center for Liberty profile
     3. [X] Decision Center for Tomcat
     4. [ ] Decision Center for JBoss
     5. [X] Samples and Tutorials
 
Decision Server Rules
     6. [X] Rule Execution Server
     7. [X] Rule Execution Server for Liberty profile
     8. [ ] Rule Execution Server for Tomcat
     9. [ ] Rule Execution Server for JBoss
    10. [X] Samples and Tutorials
    11. [X] Build Command
    12. [X] Rule Designer update sites for installation into an existing Eclipse product
and eventually imcl generated response file with section clearly specifying tomcat feature.
