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:
- Ensure that you have a target WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS system that is fully installed and configured
with Business Space. This system may or may not also have the feature
pack installed and configured. See Installing the feature pack on z/OS for more information.
- Obtain authorization to download the maintenance packages.
- Obtain authorization to modify the configuration file system.
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: 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.
- 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.
- If necessary stop any servers and nodes that are running.
- Switch to the administrator user ID. For example:
su wsadmin
- 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.
- 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.
