There are several options for installing a customized installation
package (CIP) that includes WebSphere® ESB and
one or more maintenance packages. You can use the CIP Installation
wizard to install features that are included in the CIP. The Installation
wizard also installs maintenance packages that are included in the
CIP. The steps that are common to each of the possible use-case scenarios
are presented.
Before you begin
You must log onto the system with appropriate permissions
to install the custom install package. There must be at least one
installation of
WebSphere ESB on
the target system.
About this task
When you have created your CIP it will be stored as a
compressed file in the directory (CIP_directory)
that you indicated on the Build Information panel of the Build Definition
wizard. The CIP_directory has two subdirectories: WBI and custom.wbi.
Before
you can install your
WebSphere ESB CIP,
you must create a
WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment CIP. The
WAS_ND_CIP_directory contains
the following directories:
The following steps are common to each of the subsequent
tasks, and must be undertaken before moving on to the specific installation
scenario you have in mind.
Procedure
- Copy the WBI and custom.wbi to
the WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment CIP directory WAS_ND_CIP_directory. When you have completed this step, WAS_ND_CIP_directory contains
the following subdirectories:
- custom.wbi
- WBI
- WAS
- custom
- JDK
If you have the WebSphere ESB product
media, and the version of the WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment CIP reported in the message about required maintenance
level is lower than the version on the product media you can simply
copy the WBI and custom.wbi directories
to the WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment CIP directory of the install image. This overwrites the
existing WBI directory.
- Commence the installation of your WebSphere ESB custom
install package.
Start the installation directly with
the install command.
- Change to the WAS_ND_CIP_directory/WBI directory
- Issue the install command:
After launching the CIP installation wizard from the command
line, the wizard initializes and displays the Welcome panel.
Click Next to move on to the
License agreement panel.
- 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.
- Check for previous versions of the product.
The
installation wizard checks for a previous installation at the same
major product level.
If the wizard detects a previous installation,
it displays the Existing installation panel. For this task it is assumed
that a previous installation exists and that you are adding features
with an incremental installation.
The CIP wizard detects all WebSphere ESB installations.
You can use a CIP to do cross product installation. However, you cannot
use a CIP to add features to a different product installation. For
example, a WebSphere Process
Server CIP cannot be used to add features to an installation of WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus.
- Choose to apply maintenance and add features to an existing
copy of WebSphere ESB.
Click Apply maintenance and add features to an
existing copy of WebSphere ESB,
then select the existing installation from the list.
System prerequisite checking is performed on the selected
installation.
What to do next
Completing the steps described in this task is insufficient
to install the CIP. To complete your installation, choose the subtopic
that matches your installation plans, and follow the steps described
in that topic.
