About this task
If you plan to install from images downloaded from Passport Advantage®,
see
Special considerations when installing from Passport Advantage for
important information.
The language of the installation wizard
is determined by the default language on the system. If the default
language on the system is not one of the supported languages, English
is used. You can override the system's default language by starting
the installation wizard from the command line and using the
java
user.language setting to replace the default language. Use the
following command, which can be run from the
WBI directory
on the product DVD or from an electronic installation image. In this
example, the variable
lang represents the language.
On i5/OS® platform: (You
use a Windows® system client
machine to connect to the i5/OS system.) ..\JDK\jre.pak\repository\package.java.jre\java\jre\bin\java
-Duser.language=lang -cp setup.jar run -os400was

On Linux® and UNIX® platforms: ../JDK/jre.pak/repository/package.java.jre/java/jre/bin/java
-Duser.language=lang -cp setup.jar run
On Windows platforms: ..\JDK\jre.pak\repository\package.java.jre\java\jre\bin\java
-Duser.language=lang -cp setup.jar run
For example, to start the installation wizard in the German language
on a Windows system, type
the following command:
..\JDK\jre.pak\repository\package.java.jre\java\jre\bin\java
-Duser.language=de -cp setup.jar run
Restriction: Do not run two instances
of the installation wizard concurrently. If you do so, you will receive
a warning about an installation already being in progress.
The
installer program does not support console-mode installation.
To
install WebSphere ESB using
the installation wizard, complete the following steps.
- Log on to the system.


On Linux, UNIX, and Windows platforms: Your user ID need
not have root or Administrator privileges. However, installing the
product as a non-root or non-Administrator user does create some restrictions.
For example, you will not be able to create a Windows or Linux service
for WebSphere ESB.
Also, the program will not register with the operating system. For
more details on restrictions of non-root installers, see the following
topic in the WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, version 6.1.x information center: Limitations of non-root installers.
On i5/OS platforms: If
you plan to use the launchpad to install WebSphere ESB on
an i5/OS system, sign onto
a Windows system. You use
the Windows system as a
client machine to connect to the System i server
while performing the interactive installation. The launchpad runs
on the Windows client. To
install on an i5/OS system,
you must use a valid i5/OS user
profile for that system. The user profile must have *ALLOBJ and *SECADM
authorities. Without these authorities, the installation will fail.
- Access the media in one of the following ways,
depending on whether you are installing from the product DVD or from
images downloaded from Passport
Advantage.
- If you are installing from the product DVD, insert the product
disk labeled WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus V6.2
DVD into the disk drive.
- If you are installing from images downloaded from Passport Advantage, navigate to
the directory into which you extracted the images.
- Start the installation wizard from the launchpad
or a command line.
To start the installation from the launchpad:
- Start the launchpad by following the procedure in Starting the launchpad.
- Click IBM WebSphere ESB installation.
- Click Launch the installation wizard for WebSphere ESB.
To start the installation from a command line, issue the install command
as follows, depending on whether you are installing from the product
DVD or from images downloaded from Passport Advantage:
The next step depends on which platform you are using:
Platform you are installing on |
Next step |
i5/OS |
The i5/OS signon panel
is displayed. Go to step 4. |
Linux, UNIX, or Windows |
The Welcome panel is displayed. Go to step 5. |
On i5/OS platforms: On the i5/OS signon panel, enter the following information:
- The target i5/OS system
name or IP address.
- An i5/OS user profile
that is valid on the target system. This profile must have *ALLOBJ
and *SECADM special authorities.
- The password for the i5/OS user
profile.
Click Next.
The
Welcome panel is displayed.
- On the Welcome panel, click Next. The Software license agreement panel is displayed.
- In the Software license agreement panel, review
the IBM® and non-IBM licensing
terms and, if you agree, select I accept both the IBM and
the non-IBM terms, and click Next.
The installation wizard checks for a supported operating
system with prerequisite patches. At the end of the process, the System
prerequisites check panel is displayed and indicates whether your
system passed the check.
If your system did not pass, cancel
the installation, make the required changes, and restart the installation.
- In the System prerequisites check panel, click Next.
Restriction: If your user ID does not have root
or Administrator privileges, a warning panel is displayed, which describes
the restrictions you will encounter during product installation. For
example, you will not be able to create a Windows or Linux service
for WebSphere ESB.
Also, the program will not register with the operating system. To
continue the installation, click Next.
The
installation wizard checks for existing installations of the following
products:
- WebSphere Application
Server, Version 6.1.x
- WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, Version 6.1.x
- WebSphere ESB,
Version 6.2
Important: The installation wizard also detects
unregistered instances of
WebSphere Application Server or
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
if they have entries in the
.nifregistry file.
See
.nifregistry and vpd.properties files for the location of this file
based on platform for root, Administrator, or non-root users. Using
an unregistered installation of one of these products with your
WebSphere ESB installation
is not supported.
If the installation wizard finds existing
installations of any WebSphere products,
the wizard reports which product or products it found. You must then
make choices for your new installation. Do one of the following depending
on whether you have existing installations of WebSphere products on your system:
- If you have no existing installations of any WebSphere products on your system, the
Installation type panel is displayed. Go to step 9.
- If you have existing installations of any WebSphere products on your system, go to
step 8.
- The panel that is displayed and your next
step depend on which WebSphere products
the installer found on your system. Choose the next step
from Table 1 based
on which panel is displayed on your system.
- 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.
Installation type |
Next step |
Typical
Installation (the default): installs WebSphere ESB and
optionally installs WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment with Feature Pack for Web Services using
default installation selections and configurations. You can optionally
install the WebSphere ESB samples.
You can also create a stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom
profile, or choose None to bypass this option
and later use the Profile Management Tool to create profiles, which
is recommended for production environments.
|
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
optionally installs WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment with Feature Pack for Web Services, and
guides you through setting up a deployment environment. You can create
a deployment manager and choose a deployment environment pattern for
it or choose a cluster or clusters to apply to a managed node. |
The Features selection panel is displayed. Go to the topic Installing WebSphere ESB with a deployment environment interactively. |
Results
You have started the installation wizard,
accepted the licensing agreement, checked prerequisites, and identified
any existing installations of WebSphere products
that could impact your installation. If no existing installations
of WebSphere products
impact your installation, you have also chosen the type of installation
you want to perform
(Typical or Deployment environment).
What to do next
Continue your installation by following the instructions
from the appropriate link depending on the choices you have made.
