WebSphere

This information applies to feature pack. To use what is described, you must have installed the optional feature pack Installing feature pack maintenance packages on z/OS

Install the feature pack maintenance packages on an existing installation of IBM® WebSphere® Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS®. The feature pack maintenance package contains a complete installation of the feature pack. The feature pack maintenance package can therefore be used to upgrade an existing feature pack installation or used to install the latest version of feature pack onto WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS.

Before you begin
Before you install maintenance perform the following tasks:
Procedure
  1. Download the feature pack binary package (.tar file) from the following Web site. You must have a registered IBM ID and password to gain access.
  2. Follow the instructions on the web site and save the tar file to a folder.
    Note: There are separate downloads for WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS and WebSphere Process Server for z/OS which contain only the supported features for each product.
  3. Binary ftp the tar file to a working directory on the target z/OS image. For example:
    cd directory the tar file is in on your PC
    ftp name of target z/OS image
    cd directory that you want the file to go in
    bin
    put name of tar file
    You should see a "Transfer completed successfully" message.
  4. If necessary stop any servers and nodes that are running.
  5. Switch to the administrator user ID. For example:
    su wsadmin
  6. In the target z/OS image, unpack the feature pack into the <WAS home> directory. For example:
    cd WAS home
    tar -oxvfp name of tar file
    Overwrite any identically named files.
    Note: The .product file will be one of those which will be replaced. This will enable the .versionInfo command to report the correct installed version. The deployed versions of the applications may differ , but the deployed versions will be correctly reported in SystemOut at application startup.
  7. Restart the servers and nodes that you stopped, if necessary.
Results
The maintenance packages are now installed.
Note: Deployment of the updated feature pack applications occurs after installation is complete.
Verify the success of the installation by running the versionInfo shell script from the bin directory. For example:
cd path to the default bin directory
versionInfo.sh

Look in the log under the Product List section and check that WPSWESBFEP is listed as installed. If WPSWESBFEP is not listed the installation has failed. You can cleanup the installation by following the Uninstalling the feature pack from z/OS instructions.

What to do next

Run the deployment scripts associated with the features you installed. These scripts enable functions provided by the feature pack. See Deploying and configuring widgets for the feature pack for more information.
