Websphere 8.5.5 Installation: What packages do we need? - websphere-8

I need to install on aws instance Websphere 8.5.5 from scratch.
According to some doc i need the following packages:
Installation Manager
WebSphere Application Server
Webserver
Webserver plugin
Currently i have IBM user that have the rights to download this, but i can't figure which package is which.
I have downloaded:
Installation Manager 1.9
8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP016-part1.zip 8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP016-part2.zip 8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP016-part3.zip
WAS_V8.5.5_SUPPL_1_OF_3.zip WAS_V8.5.5_SUPPL_2_OF_3.zip WAS_V8.5.5_SUPPL_3_OF_3.zip
Is there additional packages that i need for "imcl" deployments?
If possible could you provide the links for needed packages.

After installing IM, according to the IBM KnowledgeCenter topic https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEQTP_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.installation.base.doc/ae/cins_repositories.html, point IM to these install repos:
IBM WebSphere Application Server http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.BASE.v85
IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.IHS.v85
Web Server Plug-ins for IBM WebSphere Application Server http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.PLG.v85

Connection type not added on MWAA's Web UI after python dependencies installed successfully

I have successfully enable a MWAA environment (Airflow version: 2.0.2) and install python dependencies for MSSQL, MySQL and Oracle. But connections for these 3 databases are not added into the drop down list on Web UI. Any idea?
I have checked the log on Cloudwatch for scheduler's requirement installation and it says all installed successfully as below:
Successfully installed apache-airflow-providers-microsoft-mssql-1.1.0 apache-airflow-providers-mysql-1.1.0 apache-airflow-providers-oracle-1.1.0 cx-Oracle-8.2.1 mysql-connector-python-8.0.22 mysqlclient-2.0.3 protobuf-3.17.3 pymssql-2.2.1
Is it because of MWAA is installed under /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages and python dependencies are installed under ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages. How do I specify the directory for packages installation.
Or is that Web Server did not restart after dependencies are installed. Thus, Web UI did not reflect new installed packages? How do I restart Web Server if this is the case?
[UPDATE]
I have tried to recreate the environment and specify the requirements file from the beginning. The connections are still not showing in the drop down list on Web UI.
I'm afraid some connections are not supported by MWAA see mailing list thread where they explain their concerns. The issues is that cloud service providers often do not allow installing dependencies on webserver.
Starting from MWAA 2.2.2, dependencies will be installed on Web Server as well. Thus, we could select the correct connection type from now on.

Azure Analysis Services deploying model from on-prem Oracle database

Hi I have an Oracle database 11g 11.2.0.4, I have downloaded many clients and ODAC tools, finally I got the 32 bit Oracle runtime 11.2.0.4 and XCopy ODAC for 11.2.0.4 32-bit version.
I have managed to install the gateway, registered it on Azure Analysis services, have also connected to the database, retrieved tables and data using Visual Studio 2017. I am able to build the project on VS2017, but when I want to deploy the project I get this error which is frustrating because doesn't say much:
Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'An error occurred during On-Premise Gateway related activity. Additional error details: DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError
Received error payload from gateway service with ID 396333: Async operation 777b2521-cea2-46a7-a364-9f9c80e1b816 is faulted with [0]Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.Diagnostics.MashupDataAccessValueException: Mashup expression evaluation error. Reason: .

[1]Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.Diagnostics.GatewayPipelineWrapperException: Substituted: MashupValueException:<pi>Microsoft.Data.Mashup.MashupValueException (0x80004005): The provider being used is deprecated: 'System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.'. Please visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=272376 to install the official provider.
Please help
Note: To fix this issue, download and install the Oracle client SDK.
If you do not have the Oracle client installed, you will see an error when you try to create or use the connection:
The provider being used is deprecated: 'System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.'. Please visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=272376 to install the official provider.
You get the above error if the Oracle client SDK is not installed on the machine where the on-premises data gateway is running.
As a prerequisites: To connect to Oracle, you will also need to install the Oracle client software on the machine where you have installed the on-premises data gateway. Specifically, the Oracle Database connection requires the installation of the 64-bit Oracle Data Provider for .NET. You can use the following link to download and install the Oracle client:
64-bit ODAC 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) for Windows x64
Hope this helps.

Windows 10 RTools cannot connect to Windows Server R Services

I have VS2015 with RTools and RTVS on a windows 10 machine.
I also have a Server 2012 with SQL Server, with R Server, and RTVS R Services installed.
I cannot connect the Win-10 RTVS to the RServer using Remote connections. I have done the following things:
On the Server:
Installed the Certificate
Installed R Services. Found both Services R Host Broker Service and R User Profile Service alive and running. The associated json is also set.
Found both programs listed on the Windows Firewall for allowed on inbound and outbound connections
Ensured .net 4.6.1 is set
On the Client Workstation:
Installed R Tools for Visual Studio on top of Visual Studio 15 (SSDT)
Installed Microsoft R and other related programs.
Copied and added the certificate from the server to the workstation's list of trusted certificates.
Ensured .net 4.6.1 is set
Added Server to Workstation's list of remote workspaces in VS. Called the workspace 'simulator'
I can telnet to rserver.domain.com with port 5444 to ensure port is listening.
however, when I go to connect to the remote workspace I get this error:
Connecting to R Workspace failed.
Reason: Machine 'Simulator' appears to be online, but the Remote R Service is not running.

I'm missing something, and don't know what. Where do I go from here?
Thanks.

Install webdeploy on W2016 IIS 10

How to install web deploy on IIS 10 W2016?
So far I have tried
Using web platform v5 to installation of "web deploy 3.6"
After installation I have updated the web deploy service to run under local admin account.
I have manually turned off the firewall on the server
I have ensured that Management Service is running
Restarted server
I have verified using telnet that the port is open and then using netstat -an that the port is open and I can connect to it
I have to install new management tool called "Management Service" in Windows Features
In order to install this:
Open server roles / feature
Find Management Tools
Check Management service
Update from other people experience
you might need to restart the service
Reinstall/Repair the installation of web deploy if you used installer
There is a option to install this feature using power-shell command(check the comment below) by Bart Verkoeijen.
This command is useful in case you are using Desired State Configuration (DSC)
I just did this on four servers, had to install management service first, then web deploy (or reinstall webdeploy if already installed). The management service install was in a slightly different location under server roles than described in other answers.
Hope this helps someone.

Install certificate in Biztalk host

I'm trying to find any reference for installing a decryption certificate to BizTalk host using PowerShell. I was unable to find any reference.
Installing certificates doesn't relate to BizTalk.
You should install them in your machine server and afterwards choose it in BizTalk port.
As much as I know from my personal experience, you should install certificates using certmgr.msc.
If you need to use powershell to install - search for an installation script in the web.
After the installation you can choose it on BizTalk port under Security tab.
