Use this procedure to install WebSphere® ESB using
the installation wizard graphical user interface (GUI). In addition
to installing the product, this procedure guides you through setting
up a deployment environment. You can create a deployment manager and
choose a deployment environment pattern or create a custom profile
and choose the cluster members within the deployment environment.
You can install WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack as part of
your installation. You can also install WebSphere ESB over
an existing installation of WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, version 6.1.x.
About this task
Perform the following procedure to make those choices.
This topic assumes that you have started the installation wizard,
checked for prerequisites and existing WebSphere installations, and chosen to
perform a Deployment environment installation, by following the procedure
in Installing WebSphere ESB interactively. The Features
selection panel is displayed.
Procedure
- From the Features selection panel, select the
feature you want to install and click Next.
See Installable features for a description of the feature you can
select from this panel.
The next step depends on whether or
not you are installing over an existing WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
installation.
Installation status |
Next step |
You are installing over an existing installation
of WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment. Important: The user who installs WebSphere ESB must
be the same user who installed WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment. You cannot install over an existing installation
that contains parenthesis in the installation path.
|
The Deployment environment installation panel is displayed.
Proceed to step 3. |
You are not installing over an existing installation
of WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment. |
The Installation location panel is displayed. Proceed to step 2. |
- In the Installation location panel, accept
the default installation root directory for the products, or specify
a different directory, and click Next.
Note: The installation path cannot contain parentheses.
On i5/OS® platforms: The
Installation location panel on i5/OS systems
also lets you specify the profile installation directory.


On Linux®, UNIX®, and Windows® platforms: The installation wizard
presents a system-owned, default installation root directory for root
or Administrator users. It presents a different user-owned, default
installation root directory for non-root users.
See Default installation directories for the product, profiles, and tools for
information on default installation directories and how they are determined
by the installation wizard.
The installation wizard verifies
that the installation location is fully qualified, formed correctly,
can be written to by the user ID performing the installation, and
has sufficient disk space (including any required temporary space)
to complete the installation successfully. If you do not have enough
space, stop the installation program, free space by deleting unused
files and emptying the recycle bin, and restart the installation.
Important: - You must provide a value for the installation root directory to
continue.


On i5/OS, Linux,
and UNIX platforms: Do
not use symbolic links as the installation root directory; they are
not supported. Also, do not use spaces in the directory path.
On Windows platforms: Do
not use a semicolon in the directory name on Windows systems (a semicolon is the character
used to construct the class path on Windows systems). WebSphere ESB cannot
install properly on a Windows platform
if the target directory includes a semicolon.
On completion of this step the Deployment
environment installation panel is displayed.
- In the Deployment environment installation panel,
decide whether to create a deployment manager and choose a deployment
environment pattern or create a custom profile and choose the cluster
members within the deployment environment. Then click Next.
If you do not have an existing deployment manager and deployment
environment pattern, be sure to choose the option Create
a deployment manager and choose a deployment environment pattern when
installing on your first workstation. Choose the Create
a custom profile and choose the cluster members within the deployment
environment option when you install on subsequent workstations
and want those installations to be part of a deployment environment
that already has a deployment manager. The next step depends on your
selection.
Selected profile type |
Next step |
Create a deployment manager and choose a deployment
environment pattern: the wizard guides you through creating
a new deployment environment based on the deployment environment pattern
you choose later in the installation. Restriction: Database administrator (DBA)
privileges are required for the database configuration panels that
are part of creating a deployment manager profile for a deployment
environment. If you plan to use the deployment environment feature
of the product installer or Profile Management Tool, and want to use
a database other than Derby Network Server as your database product,
the user ID you provide for the "User name to authenticate with the
database" field on the database configuration panels must have DBA
privileges.
|
The Administrative security panel is displayed. Proceed to
the topic Creating a deployment manager and choosing a deployment environment pattern. |
Create a custom profile and choose the cluster
members within the deployment environment: the wizard
guides you through creating a custom profile on a deployment environment
that you have already defined. You choose the cluster members to create
for this custom profile. You must be able to connect to the running
deployment manager on that deployment environment. |
The Deployment manager connection panel is displayed. Proceed
to the topic Creating a custom profile and choosing cluster members in a deployment environment. |
Results
You have selected the feature to install, specified the installation
directory if you are not installing over an existing installation
of WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, and selected whether to create a deployment
manager and choose a deployment environment pattern or create a custom
profile and choose the cluster members within an existing deployment
environment.
What to do next
Continue your installation by following instructions from
the appropriate link depending on the choices you have made.
