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. Update the application server to at least version 6.1.0.13 or 6.0.2.23 Apply the appropriate iFix: For 6.0 use PK56872 For 6.1 use PK56881 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. Before starting this installation, you need to install a WebSphere Application Server Version 6 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 ISMP (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 (ISMP) 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 will be 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.
z/OS specifics
z/OS specifics Section
This section discusses the specific installation concepts for z/OS.
Installation instructions on z/OS
Installation instructions on z/OS Install a WebSphere Application Server product and test the product installation. Update the application server to at least version 6.1.0.13 or 6.0.2.23 Apply the appropriate PTF: UK32039 for WebSphere Application Server V6.0.1 for z/OS UK32040 for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 for z/OS The following steps describe how to download and extract the Feature Pack for Web 2.0: Create two directories, web20_download and web20_extracted. Download the feature pack to the web20_download directory and then extract the downloaded .zip file to the web20_extracted directory. This extracted directory contains the various features under named directories, and you can import the individual components of the features as needed. After you have extracted Feature Pack for Web 2.0 you can begin using the feature pack by working with the various included features and applications. See Feature Pack for Web 2.0 applications for more information.
The Feature Pack for Web 2.0 is an optionally installable product extension for IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6. Before starting this installation, you need to install a WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0 or 6.1 product if you have not done so already and apply the appropriate ++APARS. The features are in a platform neutral .zip file to be compatible with any development environment. You need 150 MB of free space available in your target installation directory. To download and extract the Feature Pack for Web 2.0, first create two directories, web20_download and web20_extracted. Download the feature pack to the web20_download directory and then extract the downloaded .zip file to the web20_extracted directory.

Viewing code
Viewing code The client side code for all the samples is JavaScript and HTML and can be seen in two ways: By opening the enterprise archive (EAR) and Web archive (WAR) files Using Eclipse: installing the Eclipse Plug-in for the sample and creating a new sample project All the samples contain the server side code. The JSON4J and the messaging libraries source code is not distributed.
The client side code for all the samples is included so that you can better understand how to use the features of the Feature Pack. The JSON4J and the messaging libraries source code are not distributed.
