Installing WebSphere ESB with a deployment environment interactively

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
  1. 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.
  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.

    For i5/OS operating system On i5/OS® platforms: The Installation location panel on i5/OS systems also lets you specify the profile installation directory.

    For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating systemFor Windows operating system 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.
    • For i5/OS operating systemFor Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system 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.
    • For Windows operating system 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.
  3. 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.
