Installing a default configuration by using the Installation window

Use the Windows Launchpad Installation window to install the set of products that are required for a default configuration of WebSphere® Message Broker.

Read Installing by using the Windows Launchpad for background information.

For the latest details of all supported levels of hardware and software, visit the WebSphere Message Broker Requirements website.

  1. Start the Windows Launchpad. See Starting the Windows Launchpad for more information.
    When the Launchpad starts, the Installation window opens and displays the following minimum set of products, along with version numbers, that are required for a default configuration of WebSphere Message Broker:
    • WebSphere MQ
    • WebSphere Message Broker
    • WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit
    • WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
  2. Check the initial installation status that is shown for each listed product:
    • Required indicates that the product is not installed but is required for a minimum configuration, or you have cleared the associated check box to indicate that you do not intend to install the product, or the Launchpad cannot install it (and no check box is shown).
    • Pending indicates that the product is not installed but is required for a minimum configuration, or the check box is selected to show that this product is to be installed.
    • Installed indicates that the product is already installed at a level that is supported by WebSphere Message Broker. The installed version is shown and no check box is displayed.
    • Partial Installation indicates that the product is installed, but not all components that are required to ensure that the successful operation of a minimum configuration broker domain are present on the system. The associated check box is selected to show that additional components are installed.
  3. Click the plus sign to the left of each listed product in turn. The Launchpad displays more information about the product, which you can use to decide if you want it installed. The additional information also provides an estimate of the time that is taken to complete each product installation, if appropriate.
  4. WebSphere MQ Explorer requires the WebSphere Eclipse Platform to be installed; when you select WebSphere MQ, the Eclipse Platform is automatically installed.
  5. If you do not want to install a listed product, clear the check box that is associated with the product. Its status is changed to Required, because you cannot configure and verify your installation without all the listed products. If the product you have cleared is a prerequisite for another product, that other product is also cleared. You can complete installation of any remaining products, and install the cleared products at a later time.
  6. Click Launch Installation for WebSphere Message Broker.

    If you have cleared one or more of the required products, you are asked to confirm your choices.

    The Launchpad installs the products that you have selected in the order shown. You cannot change the Installation window after you have started the installation process. When the Launchpad starts each installation, it updates status from Pending to In Progress.

    If you have the incorrect WebSphere MQ level, for example version 6.1, you might get the following warning:
    One or more of the selected installs will upgrade an existing version
    of the installed software. Please be aware that the old version may be
    removed with no further prompting.
    Click OK to continue.
    The Launchpad uninstalls the incorrect WebSphere MQ level, and then installs the correct level of WebSphere MQ.
    • If you have selected WebSphere MQ, the Launchpad starts the installation wizard silent interface for WebSphere MQ; default values are used for all options. A progress bar is displayed so that you can check on progress.
    • If you have selected WebSphere Message Broker (the Broker component), the Launchpad starts the installation wizard graphical interface. You must supply the input that is required by the installation wizard.

      The installation wizard guides you through a series of windows where you can make choices about where to install the component.

      You must also read and accept the Software License Agreement that is displayed.

      The license agreement covers your use of WebSphere MQ. Be aware it is only licensed for use with WebSphere Message Broker and must not be used for other purposes.

    • If you have selected the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, the Launchpad starts the installation wizard graphical interface.

      The process is controlled by Installation Manager, which installs itself if it is not already installed on this computer. For further information about Installation Manager, see Additional software requirements.

      The installation wizard guides you through a series of windows where you can make choices about where to install the component, which package group to install it in, and which language support you want to install. You must supply all input that is required by the installation wizard. You must also accept the Software License Agreement that is displayed.

      If you want to launch the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit when its installation wizard is complete, select WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit in the list of installed products that is displayed on the completion window. When you click Finish, the wizard ends and returns control to the Launchpad, and the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit is started.

    • If you have selected WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, the Launchpad starts the installation wizard graphical interface. You must supply the input that is required by the installation wizard.

      The installation wizard guides you through a series of windows where you can make choices about where to install the component.

      You must also read and accept the Software License Agreement that is displayed.

    The status of each product changes to Installed when the Launchpad completes its installation.

    When the Launchpad has installed all your selected products, it returns control to the Installation window.

  7. Click Refresh to check the status of each product listed.
  8. Click Exit Launchpad to end the program.

Check the Installation has installed all the WebSphere MQ components that you require. WebSphere Message Broker requires only the server, WebSphere MQ Explorer, and the Java™ Messaging component, and only these components are installed. If you want additional components, use the WebSphere MQ installer.
