Use this procedure to install additional features on an
existing installation of WebSphere® ESB using
the installation wizard graphical user interface (GUI).
About this task
This topic assumes that you have started the installation
wizard and checked for prerequisites and existing WebSphere installations, by following the
procedure in Installing WebSphere ESB interactively. You
have an installation of WebSphere ESB on
your system and you want to add features to it using an interactive
interface. You do not have to have an existing WebSphere ESB profile.
Following this procedure does not modify features or profiles that
are already installed, or affect any updates made to the original
installation. The Features selection panel is displayed.
Procedure
- From the Features selection panel, select
the feature you want to install and click Next.
A feature that is already installed is not available for selection. See Installable features for a description of the
feature you can select from this panel.
Tip: Adding the WebSphere ESB samples
feature does not automatically deploy the samples to existing profiles.
You must create a new profile to deploy the samples.
The Installation
summary panel is displayed.
- In the Installation summary panel, review the components
that will be installed and where they will be located on the system,
and click Next to install or Back to
change your specifications.
The installation wizard
creates the uninstaller program and shows a progress panel to indicate
that components are being installed.
The installation wizard
examines the underlying WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack installation
and takes one of the following actions:
- If the installation is at the correct service level, the installation
wizard does nothing.
- If the installation is at an earlier service level, the installation
wizard applies the necessary fixes to bring the installation up to
the appropriate level and also applies any necessary interim fixes.
Restriction: If the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
with Web Services Feature Pack installation is at an earlier service
level and the
WebSphere ESB installation
is being done remotely from a Windows® client,
then WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack must be updated
using a local silent install from the i5/OS® system
before continuing with this installation.
- If you selected the WebSphere ESB samples
feature, and you are installing over an installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
with Web Services Feature Pack that does not have its Samples gallery
feature installed, the installation wizard adds the Samples gallery
feature silently to the WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment installation.
Restriction: You
can install the WebSphere ESB samples
incrementally only over a WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack installation,
not a WebSphere Application
Server installation. Thus, if you select the WebSphere ESB samples
feature, and you are installing WebSphere ESB over
an installation of WebSphere Application
Server that does not have its Samples gallery feature installed, the
Sample applications gallery feature is not added silently to
the WebSphere Application
Server installation.
Restriction: On i5/OS platforms: If you selected
the
WebSphere ESB samples
feature and you are installing over an installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
with Web Services Feature Pack that does not have the Samples gallery
feature installed, then the Samples gallery feature must be added
to WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack using a local
silent installation from the i5/OS system
before continuing with this installation.
At the end of the installation, the Installation results
panel is displayed with a Success indication.Attention: If errors are detected during
installation, other messages might appear in place of Success.
A
message of
Partial success indicates that the
installation completed but errors were generated. If an installation
is partially successful, the Installation results panel identifies
the exact log files required to troubleshoot the problems, together
with their locations in your installation. The log files include the
following:
- install_error.log
- log.txt
See descriptions of these log files in Installation and profile creation log files.
See descriptions of relevant log files in Installation and profile creation log files.
You can review other useful
troubleshooting information in the following topics:
- In the Installation results panel, take one of the following
actions, depending on whether you want to create a new profile now:
Profile status |
Next step |
You want to create a profile |
Leave the check box beside Create a new WebSphere ESB profile
using the Profile Management Tool selected and click Finish.
The installation wizard closes and the Profile Management Tool starts.
See Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool and Augmenting profiles using the Profile Management Tool for instructions on how to
use this tool to create new WebSphere ESB profiles
or augment existing application server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus profiles
into WebSphere ESB profiles. |
You do not want to create a profile |
Clear the check box beside Create a new WebSphere ESB profile
using the Profile Management Tool and click Finish to
close the installation wizard. Attention: To have an operational
environment, a WebSphere ESB stand-alone
server profile or deployment manager profile with managed nodes must
exist.
|
Results
If the Installation results panel indicates
Success,
the additional features were installed successfully.
What to do next
Install the most recent WebSphere ESB fix
pack on top of the installation (if any fix packs exist at the time
of installation). For information about installing fix packs on WebSphere ESB, see
the instructions on the support pages at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wsesb/support/.

On Linux and UNIX, platforms: If you removed
the freeware directory from your PATH (instructed
in an earlier topic), add the freeware directory
back to the PATH variable.
If you have not created a profile,
see Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool or Augmenting profiles using the Profile Management Tool for instructions on how to
use the Profile Management Tool to create new WebSphere ESB profiles
or augment existing application server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus profiles
into WebSphere ESB profiles.
