Trade-up installation

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.

Table 1. Supported trade-up pathways.
Existing product Trade-up product Supported
WebSphere ESB WebSphere Process Server Yes
WebSphere Process Server Client WebSphere Process Server Yes

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
  1. Commence the installation of your WebSphere ESB customized install package.
    Start the installation directly with the install command.
    1. Change to the installation_root directory
    2. Issue the install command:
      • For AIX operating systemFor HP-UX operating systemFor Linux operating systemFor Solaris operating system ./install
      • For Windows operating system install.exe
    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.
  2. 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.

  3. Complete the prerequisite check and move on to the Detect existing copy panel. Click Next when the system prerequisite check is complete.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

  7. Review the information on the Installation summary panel. If everything is correct click Next to commence the installation.
  8. Monitor the installation on the progress indicator.
