On System i,
you can install your WebSphere® ESB CIP
from a Windows® workstation
graphical user interface (GUI).
Before you begin
This topic assumes that you have a CIP image created using
the Installation Factory, that the target operating system of the
CIP is i5/OS® and that you
want to install the product from the CIP. See Creating customized installation packages for more information on generating
the CIP.
A WebSphere ESB CIP
being installed from a Windows workstation
to an i5/OS system cannot
be used to upgrade, add features to, or apply maintenance to an existing WebSphere ESB install.
The WebSphere ESB CIP
must be run using a local silent installation from the i5/OS system in these cases.
About this task
When you run the GUI installation tool, you specify installation
options interactively during the installation process.
Use this
procedure to install WebSphere ESB on i5/OS from a CIP with the GUI
installation program:
Procedure
- If TCP/IP is not started or if you don't know if TCP/IP
is started, enter the Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) command
on the Control Language (CL) command line.
- Verify that the host server jobs are started on your System i server.
The host server jobs allow the installation code to run on System i.
Enter this command on a CL command line:
STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL)
- Verify that your user profile has the *ALLOBJ and *SECADM
special authorities.
- Place the CIP for i5/OS disc
in the disc drive of your Windows workstation.
The autorun feature brings up the launchpad.
Do not
use the IBM® WebSphere ESB Windows disc or any other operating
system platform disc from the product package.
- Enter the name of the i5/OS server
where you are installing WebSphere ESB and
your corresponding i5/OS login
information, then click OK.
You
also must enter a valid user ID and password for the server. Your
profile must have *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities for this
step.
- On the Welcome panel, click Next.
- On the License agreement panel, review the IBM and non-IBM licensing terms and, if you accept
the terms, select I accept both the IBM and the non-IBM
terms, then click Next. If you
do not accept the terms of the license agreement, you cannot continue
with the installation.
- The system prerequisites check verifies that your server
meets the minimum requirements to install the product. If the prerequisites
are met, click Next. If the prerequisites are
not met, you can continue the installation. However, it is recommended
that you exit the installation wizard and make the required changes.
- On the Installation type
panel, select the type of installation you want to perform and click Next.
The installation wizard provides a choice of installation
paths (not all might appear based on selections you made on previous
panels). The next step depends on the type of installation you want.

Next step |
Typical Installation (the default):
installs WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment using default installation selections and configurations.
You can also create a stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom
profile. |
The Features selection panel is displayed. Go to the topic Installing WebSphere ESB and creating a profile interactively. |
Deployment Environment Installation:
installs WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment, and guides you through setting up a deployment
environment. You can choose to create a deployment manager based on
a deployment environment pattern or continue to define a deployment
environment that you have already created. |
The Features selection panel is displayed. Go to the topic Installing WebSphere ESB with a deployment environment interactively. |
Results
This procedure results in installing the product from a Windows workstation GUI.
