Feature pack installer
Feature pack installer Section
The next section discusses the specifics of the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 installer.
Before you begin
Before you begin Install a WebSphere Application Server product and test the product installation Verify that you are running the minimum level of WebSphere Application Server that is required by the feature pack Apply any appropriate iFix The operating system requirements for a feature pack are the same as for the application server installation Stop the application server and any other processes for the product on which you are installing the feature pack
The Feature Pack for Web 2.0 is an optionally installable product extension for IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6, 6.1, and 7.0. Before starting this installation, you need to install a WebSphere Application Server Version 6 or 7.0 product if you have not done so already and apply the appropriate iFix. The operating system requirements for a feature pack are the same as for the application server installation. However, you need to ensure that you have enough free disk space to install the feature pack onto the application server installation. You need to have 280 MB of free space available in your target installation directory and 250 MB of free space available in your temporary directory in addition to the required application server product. Make sure you stop the application server and any other processes for the product on which you are installing the feature pack.
Feature pack installation
Feature pack installation Installer uses InstallShield Multi-platform Provides support for graphical and silent installation No Launchpad for the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 Can be invoked from the “install” executable file in the
directory Silent installation uses a response file as input Queries for other WebSphere Application Server installations Common logging and tracing strategy is used across the WebSphere Application Server and Feature Pack installers
The installer for the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 uses the same InstallShield Multi-platform technologies as the WebSphere Application Server V6 installer. This provides support for graphical or silent installation run from the command line. Silent installation uses a response file, specific to the Feature Pack, that is provided as input to the command. The Feature Pack installer will check for other WebSphere Application Server V6 installation as part of installing. The Feature Pack for Web 2.0 uses the same logging and tracing strategy as the other WebSphere Application Server product installers.
Command-line installation
Command-line installation Run the “install” file in the root directory of the feature pack installation image and point to the Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) already included with the application server: install -is:javahome \java ./install -is:javahome /java Complete the steps in the feature pack installation wizard. Silent installation option uses a single response file for options to install product binary and to create a profile. /install –options “response_file_name” –silent Sample file: /responsefile. WEB2FEP.txt License acceptance must be changed to “true” Windows® LINUX® / UNIX ®
The Feature Pack for Web 2.0 installer can be launched with the “install” executable file from the image directory. When running the installation you must point to the JVM already included with your application server. During a silent installation, a response file is used to obtain the input for the installation process. A sample response file is provided to help get started and show the available options. An important thing to remember is that the license agreement must be changed in the response file, change the silentInstallLicenseAcceptance option from “false” to “true”.
Uninstalling overview
Uninstalling overview Uninstallation uses InstallShield Multi Platform Located under “uninstall” directory /uninstall_web2fep/uninstall.exe Silent uninstallation is supported /uninstall_web2fep/uninstall –silent Use 'uninstall -silent
Uninstalling the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 is similar to the other WebSphere Application Server products. On distributed platforms, both the graphical wizard and silent uninstallation options are available. During the installation process, an uninstaller is created under the “uninstall” directory. Invoking the uninstallation process will completely remove the Feature Pack for Web 2.0, but leave maintenance and the base WebSphere Application Server installation behind.
Problem determination
Problem determination Section
The next section explains how to do problem determination on an installation of the Feature Pack for Web 2.0.
Log file locations
Log file locations Log files for installation and uninstallation can be found under these directories /logs/install/web2fep /logs/uninstall/web2fep If the logs directory can not be accesses during installation, the logs are saved under /web2feplogs
Log files contain information about installing, configuring and updating WebSphere Application Server components with the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 updates. The log file will initially be created in your current “temp” directory and then copied into the /logs/web2fep directory. If the installation is terminated before the file is copied, then it will remain in your “temp” directory.
Trace file
Trace file Trace file contain more detailed than the main log.txt file These trace files are not translated and meant primarily for IBM service /logs/web2fep/install/trace.txt.gz /logs/web2fep/install/trace.xml.gz Trace format and trace log level can be changed using command line options -OPT traceFormat=ALL/text/XML ALL (By default) will produce both text and XML format -OPT traceLevel=INFO (default is INFO) See the Appendix for complete list of “traceLevel” options
Trace files contain more detailed information for determining problems, than the standard installation logs. The trace file logs are not translated, because they are intend primarily for use by IBM support and services. The installation trace files can be found in the standard installation log directory for the Feature Pack for Web 2.0. The amount of trace data generated can be altered using command line options, and by options in the silent installation response file. More information about the various trace levels is available in the appendix.
