Installing additional features on an existing installation

Use this procedure to install additional features on an existing installation of WebSphere® ESB using the installation wizard graphical user interface (GUI).

About this task

This topic assumes that you have started the installation wizard and checked for prerequisites and existing WebSphere installations, by following the procedure in Installing WebSphere ESB interactively. You have an installation of WebSphere ESB on your system and you want to add features to it using an interactive interface. You do not have to have an existing WebSphere ESB profile. Following this procedure does not modify features or profiles that are already installed, or affect any updates made to the original installation. The Features selection panel is displayed.

Procedure
  1. From the Features selection panel, select the feature you want to install and click Next. A feature that is already installed is not available for selection. See Installable features for a description of the feature you can select from this panel.
    Tip: Adding the WebSphere ESB samples feature does not automatically deploy the samples to existing profiles. You must create a new profile to deploy the samples.
    The Installation summary panel is displayed.
  2. In the Installation summary panel, review the components that will be installed and where they will be located on the system, and click Next to install or Back to change your specifications.

    The installation wizard creates the uninstaller program and shows a progress panel to indicate that components are being installed.

    The installation wizard examines the underlying WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack installation and takes one of the following actions:
    • If the installation is at the correct service level, the installation wizard does nothing.
    • If the installation is at an earlier service level, the installation wizard applies the necessary fixes to bring the installation up to the appropriate level and also applies any necessary interim fixes.
      For i5/OS operating system Restriction: If the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack installation is at an earlier service level and the WebSphere ESB installation is being done remotely from a Windows® client, then WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack must be updated using a local silent install from the i5/OS® system before continuing with this installation.
    • If you selected the WebSphere ESB samples feature, and you are installing over an installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack that does not have its Samples gallery feature installed, the installation wizard adds the Samples gallery feature silently to the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation.
      Restriction: You can install the WebSphere ESB samples incrementally only over a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack installation, not a WebSphere Application Server installation. Thus, if you select the WebSphere ESB samples feature, and you are installing WebSphere ESB over an installation of WebSphere Application Server that does not have its Samples gallery feature installed, the Sample applications gallery feature is not added silently to the WebSphere Application Server installation.
      For i5/OS operating system Restriction: On i5/OS platforms: If you selected the WebSphere ESB samples feature and you are installing over an installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack that does not have the Samples gallery feature installed, then the Samples gallery feature must be added to WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack using a local silent installation from the i5/OS system before continuing with this installation.
    At the end of the installation, the Installation results panel is displayed with a Success indication.
    Attention:

    If errors are detected during installation, other messages might appear in place of Success.

    A message of Partial success indicates that the installation completed but errors were generated. If an installation is partially successful, the Installation results panel identifies the exact log files required to troubleshoot the problems, together with their locations in your installation. The log files include the following:
    • install_error.log
    • log.txt
    Both files are located by default in the following directory:
    • For i5/OS operating systemFor Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system On i5/OS, Linux®, and UNIX® platforms: install_root/logs/wbi/install
    • For Windows operating system On Windows platforms: install_root\logs\wbi\install

    See descriptions of these log files in Installation and profile creation log files.

    A message of Failed indicates that the installation failed completely. If an installation fails completely, the Installation results panel identifies the locations of log files useful in troubleshooting problems:
    • Log files related to installation, located by default in the following directory:
      • For i5/OS operating systemFor Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system On i5/OS, Linux, and UNIX platforms: install_root/logs/wbi/install
      • For Windows operating system On Windows platforms: install_root\logs\wbi\install
    • Temporary log files, located by default in the following directory:
      • For i5/OS operating systemFor Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system On i5/OS, Linux, and UNIX platforms: user_home/wbilogs
      • For Windows operating system On Windows platforms: user_home\wbilogs

    See descriptions of relevant log files in Installation and profile creation log files.

  3. In the Installation results panel, take one of the following actions, depending on whether you want to create a new profile now:
    Profile status Next step
    You want to create a profile Leave the check box beside Create a new WebSphere ESB profile using the Profile Management Tool selected and click Finish. The installation wizard closes and the Profile Management Tool starts. See Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool and Augmenting profiles using the Profile Management Tool for instructions on how to use this tool to create new WebSphere ESB profiles or augment existing application server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus profiles into WebSphere ESB profiles.
    You do not want to create a profile Clear the check box beside Create a new WebSphere ESB profile using the Profile Management Tool and click Finish to close the installation wizard.
    Attention: To have an operational environment, a WebSphere ESB stand-alone server profile or deployment manager profile with managed nodes must exist.

Results

If the Installation results panel indicates Success, the additional features were installed successfully.

What to do next

Install the most recent WebSphere ESB fix pack on top of the installation (if any fix packs exist at the time of installation). For information about installing fix packs on WebSphere ESB, see the instructions on the support pages at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wsesb/support/.

For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system On Linux and UNIX, platforms: If you removed the freeware directory from your PATH (instructed in an earlier topic), add the freeware directory back to the PATH variable.

If you have not created a profile, see Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool or Augmenting profiles using the Profile Management Tool for instructions on how to use the Profile Management Tool to create new WebSphere ESB profiles or augment existing application server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus profiles into WebSphere ESB profiles.
