WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, i5/OS, Linux, Solaris, Windows


Installing the software

You can obtain WebSphere® ESB product files in two ways, from the disks in the product package or by downloading installation images from the Passport Advantage® site, if you are licensed to do so. You install the software using the installation wizard in graphical interface mode or in silent mode. In silent mode, the installation wizard does not display a graphical interface, but reads your responses from a response file.

Before installing the software for WebSphere ESB, assess your current environment and your business requirements to ensure that the system you implement meets your needs. Middleware, such as WebSphere ESB, requires that you evaluate many aspects of your enterprise information system (EIS), such as capacity and security.

For more information about planning your installation and on the databases required by WebSphere ESB, see the topics under Planning for WebSphere ESB.

Then review installation prerequisites in Prerequisites for installing WebSphere ESB.

After planning your installation and reviewing prerequisites, install the software from the appropriate disk or distribution media. You can choose to install the software silently using a response file or interactively using the installation wizard.

Installing the software creates a set of core product files on the workstation. These files are needed for you to configure stand-alone servers and deployment environments.

During installation your choices will include the following options:

After installing the software from the appropriate disk or distribution media, install the most recent fix pack on top. For information about installing fix packs on WebSphere ESB, see the instructions under Recommended fixes on the support pages at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wsesb/support/.

Note: WebSphere ESB interim fixes can be automatically installed by placing them in a predefined or a user defined directory location. For more information see Automatic installation of interim fixes.

After performing either a Typical or Deployment environment installation, you can create a stand-alone server, a deployment manager, a custom profile, or a deployment environment configuration using the Profile Management Tool. You can also use the First steps console to validate that a stand-alone server or deployment manager profile was created successfully, to start and stop the server, and to perform other tasks.
