Installing the WebSphere® Process Server V6.2 and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6.2 feature pack on z/OS® , version 6.2.0.1 or later, installs the widgets for Administration
and Human Task Management that run in Business Space powered by WebSphere. You can then deploy
and configure the widgets. If you install the feature pack in a network
deployment environment, you must install it on the deployment manager
and on every node.
Before you begin
Before you install the feature pack, perform the following
tasks:
About this task
The feature pack is made up of sets of widgets that you
can use with Business Space. The WebSphere products you have in your environment determine which
of the sets of widgets you can use:
- Administration feature: The Administration widgets provide
a way for you and other administrators to manage and monitor the individual
components, including modules and services, of your business process
management solution.
- Human Task Management feature: This feature includes two
sets of widgets. The Human Task Management widgets provide a way for
your business users and managers to easily view, assess,
and drill down into human tasks and business processes in your business
process management solution. The My Work Organizer widgets enable
business users and managers to quickly plan and organize their tasks.
Procedure
- 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.
- Follow the instructions on the web site and save the tar
file to a folder.
Note: Downloads for WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS and WebSphere Process Server for z/OS are in separate packages. Each contains
only the supported features for that product.
- Use binary FTP to copy the .tar file to a working directory
in USS 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
The Transfer completed
successfully message is displayed when the copy operation
finishes.
- In USS change to the administrator user ID. For example:
su wsadmin
- In the target z/OS image, extract the feature pack to the WAS_home directory of each node that requires the function. For example:
cd WAS_home
tar -oxvfp name of tar file
Overwrite identically
named files.Note: The feature pack installs new binaries and does
not update binaries from underlying products. Therefore existing files
that have similar names belong to an earlier installation of the feature
pack.
Results
The feature pack is installed. You can 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 output under the Product
List section and check that WPSWESBFEP is listed
as installed. If WPSWESBFEP is not listed the installation
failed. You can uninstall the feature pack by following the Uninstalling the feature pack from z/OS instructions.
What to do next
Run the deployment scripts that are associated with the
features that you installed. These scripts enable functions that are
provided by the feature pack. See Deploying
and configuring widgets for the feature pack for information.
