You can use a customized installation package (CIP) to
perform trade-up installation, from a lower-level product to a higher-level
product.
Before you begin
To perform this task you must have an existing installation
of a lower-level product. You must also have a customized installation
package containing a higher-level product image.
About this task
A trade-up installation is from a lower-level product
to the full version of WebSphere® ESB. The
following table describes which trade-up paths are supported.

Trade-up installation is a one-step process, running the
CIP moves the installation from the lower-level product to the higher
level, and then brings the newly installed product up to the required
maintenance level.
Procedure
- Commence the installation of your WebSphere ESB customized
install package.
Start the installation directly with
the install command.
- Change to the installation_root directory
- Issue the install command:
After launching the CIP installation wizard from the command
line, the wizard initializes and displays the Welcome panel. Click
About
this customized installation package to display detailed
information about the current customized installation package, such
as the edition and version. Click
Next.
- On the License agreement panel, read the license agreement
and accept its terms.
Click I accept both
the IBM and the non-IBM terms to agree to the license
agreement and click Next to continue.
After you accept the licensing terms, the installation wizard checks
for a supported operating system and prerequisite patches. If you
encounter a problem such as not having the right prerequisite updates
on your system, cancel the installation, make the required changes,
and restart the installation.
Although the installation wizard
checks for prerequisite operating system patches with the prereqChecker
application, review the prerequisites on the supported hardware and
software Web site if you have not already done so.
The Web
site lists all supported operating systems and the operating system
fixes and patches that you must install to have a compliant operating
system.
Refer to the documentation for non-IBM prerequisite
and corequisite products to learn how to migrate to their supported
versions.
- Complete the prerequisite check and move on to the Detect
existing copy panel. Click Next when
the system prerequisite check is complete.
- Depending on the trade-up you are performing
(e.g., from which product you are trading up, or to what maintenance
level of WebSphere ESB you
are trading up) you will receive various options on the Detect existing
copy panel. Select the option to install a new copy of WebSphere ESB.
- On the Trade up panel, indicate the existing
copy of the lower-level product that you intend to trade up.
The
Trade up panel will only display fields for products that have been
detected on the system. Click the Use an existing copy
of product_name where product_name is
the lower-level product from which you are trading up.
Next
select the specific installation of the existing product from the
list.
Click Next.
After
completing this step, the system will check that the product from
which you are trading up has all the prerequisite features. Unless
a problem is detected, the wizard will move on to the Features panel.
- On the Features panel select any features that you want
to be installed from the CIP or that are already installed on the
lower product.
The default appearance of the Features
panel will be for:
- All features contained in the CIP which are not installed to be
selected.
- All features contained in the CIP which are installed to be selected
and the check box is disabled.
- All features that are not contained in the CIP which are installed
to be displayed with the check box cleared.
Do not change any options on this panel. Click Next.
- Review the information on the Installation summary panel. If everything is correct click Next to
commence the installation.
- Monitor the installation on the progress indicator.
