Installing with existing WebSphere ESB installations

The installation wizard found an existing installation of WebSphere® ESB by itself or together with installations of other WebSphere products on your system. You must decide whether to install a new installation of WebSphere ESB to coexist with the current one or to instead add features or new profiles to the existing installation.

About this task

Perform the following procedure to make those choices. This topic assumes that you have already started the installation wizard, accepted the licensing agreement, and checked prerequisites, by following the procedure in Installing WebSphere ESB interactively. The Detected IBM® WebSphere ESB panel is displayed.
Procedure
  1. On the Detected IBM WebSphere ESB panel, select an option based on how you want to handle your new WebSphere ESB installation and click Next. The panel that is displayed and your next step depend on the option you select:
    Option you select Next step
    Add features to IBM WebSphere ESB: adds features to an existing installation of WebSphere ESB, which you select from a list on the panel.
    Tip: This option is available only when the existing installation of WebSphere ESB does not have all features installed.
    The Features selection panel is displayed. Go to the topic Installing additional features on an existing installation for instructions to complete your installation.
    Install a new copy of WebSphere ESB: installs a new copy of WebSphere ESB to coexist with the existing version.
    Tip: Also choose this option if you want to install WebSphere ESB over an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. Succeeding detection panels will identify installations of those products and allow you to install over them.
    The next panel depends on whether you have an existing installation of another WebSphere product on your system:
    Create a new WebSphere ESB profile using the Profile Management Tool: opens the Profile Management Tool to let you create a new WebSphere ESB profile in an existing installation you select from a list on the panel. The Installation results panel is displayed and the Profile Management Tool starts. Click Finish to close the installation wizard.
  2. On the Installation type panel, select the type of installation you want to perform and click Next.

    The installation wizard provides a choice of installation paths (the choice of installation path is based on selections you made on previous panels). The next step depends on the type of installation you want.

    Option you select Next step
    Typical Installation (the default): installs WebSphere ESB and optionally installs WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack using default installation selections and configurations. You can optionally install the WebSphere ESB samples. You can also create a stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom profile, or bypass this option and later use the Profile Management Tool to create profiles.

    The Features selection panel is displayed. Go to the topic Installing WebSphere ESB and creating a profile interactively for instructions to complete your installation.
    Deployment Environment Installation: installs WebSphere ESB and optionally installs WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack, and guides you through setting up a deployment environment. You can create a deployment manager and choose a deployment environment pattern for it or choose a cluster or clusters to apply to a managed node. The Features selection panel is displayed. Go to the topic Installing WebSphere ESB with a deployment environment interactively for instructions to complete your installation.

Results

You have identified any existing installations of WebSphere ESB or the WebSphere ESB Client that might impact your new installation. If you have installations of other WebSphere products on your system, you have been directed to other topics that explain how to install the product with those existing installations. If you do not have additional WebSphere products installed on your system, you have chosen the type of installation you want to perform (Typical or Deployment environment).

What to do next

Continue your installation by following the instructions from the appropriate link depending on the choices you have made.
