  1. If you are installing Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 as part of a migration from Version 2.1 to Version 5.0, this file does not provide the information you need. You must refer to the Message Brokers Version 5.0 readme.html and install.html and you must access the Version 5.0 (February 2006) stand-alone information center. These provide details of the migration tasks that you must complete before you install Version 5.0.
  2. If you already have a Message Brokers Version 5.0 installation and are migrating the toolkit from Version 5.0 to Version 5.1, complete these steps:
    1. Back up any third-party plug-ins or features that you have installed in Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.0. These will be removed when you install Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1.
    2. Back up your Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.0 workspace to an alternative location:
      • If you invoked Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.0 on the command line with the option -data, the workspace is stored in the directory that you specified with that option.
      • If you did not invoke Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.0 on the command line with the option -data, the workspace is stored in the default location eclipse/workspace/ in your installation directory.
    3. Uninstall Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.0. The installation process will not continue if Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.0 is still present on the system.
    4. When you have installed Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 following the Installation instructions, restore your Version 5.0 workspace by performing one of the following options:
      • Copy the old workspace from the alternative location into the eclipse/ folder in your Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 installation.
      • Run Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 from the command line with the -data command line option set to the alternative location. For example:
        mqsistudio.exe -data C:\your_path_to_workspace
    5. Follow the guidance in the online information center to complete migration of any third-party plug-ins or features.
  3. After you have installed, refer to the online information center for further information about migration.

If you are installing Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 on a system that has no other Message Brokers components installed, you do not have to take any action before you install.

Silent mode

The Silent mode of installation can be managed by a response file, or by using the installer's default settings.

The default settings for the Install Wizard, based on the options available in the interactive modes above, result in the following actions:

To use the default settings, enter the following command at the command line:

path setup.exe -silent

where path is the current location of the installation program. For example:

E:\setup.exe -silent

launches the Windows installer, located in the root directory of the E drive.

A response file gives you a certain amount of control over the silent installation. You can generate a response file in two ways:

  1. Complete a run of the Install Wizard. The response file generated is a record of the input made during the installation. The command line for this method is:

    path setup.exe -options-record responsefile

    where responsefile is the full path and name of your chosen response file. You are recommended to create this in a separate directory outside of the product's installation directory.

  2. Enter a command to generate a template response file that you can edit, with user specific options, without running the Install Wizard. The command line for this method is:

    path setup.exe -options -template responsefile

    where responsefile is the full path and name of your chosen response file. The template response file contains full instructions on how to enter your specific options.

WARNING
You must make the following correction to response files (generated or template) if you want the toolkit to link to the WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition workbench.

  1. Find and remove the line:
    -W linkChoice.YES_NO="<value>"
  2. If you want the toolkit to be linked to WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, insert the following content:
  3. If you do not want the toolkit to be linked to WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, no further changes are required.

In Silent mode, you must use a response file if you want to integrate this toolkit with WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition. Refer to WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition for further information.

Installation command line options

The installation arguments enable the installation program to run in four different modes: GUI mode, console mode, accessibility mode, and silent mode. The installation arguments also allow you to record and use a response file.

GUI (AWT) mode

The GUI mode, also known as the AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) mode, is the default mode of installation, with no installation arguments. Enter the following command at a command line:

setup.exe [-awt]

where awt is optional and only required if the GUI mode is not the default installation mode.

Console mode

The console mode is usually used when a GUI is not available, but you can use this mode at any time if you prefer. Enter the following command at a command line:

setup.exe -console -is:javaconsole

Accessibility mode

Accessibility mode provides additional audible information for visually impaired users, and can be used as an alternative command line for running in console mode. Enter the following command at a command line:

setup.exe -accessibility

Silent mode

In silent mode, there is no user input, except when a response file is used. Silent installation is recommended for automated installations over a large number of identical systems. Enter the following command at a command line:

setup.exe -silent

Recording a response file

Response files are used to feed options, made during an interactive GUI or console installation, into a silent installation run. To record a response in a console installation, enter the following command at a command line:

setup.exe -options-record responsefile -console -is:javaconsole

where responsefile is the full path and file name of the response file.

To record a response in a GUI installation, enter the following command at a command line:

setup.exe -options-record responsefile

where responsefile is the full path and file name of the response file.

A sample response file is provided in the sample-scripts directory of root cd image directory.

Using a response file

You must correct an error in the response file before you use it. For details, see the Warning under Silent mode in the Installation instructions.

To feed recorded options made during an installation, into a silent installation, enter the following command at a command line:

setup.exe -options responsefile -silent

where responsefile is the full path and file name of the response file.

Generating a response file template

The response file template does not contain preset installation options, and is generated to allow you to edit it for later use. The file can be generated without running the complete installation. To do this, enter the following command at a command line:

setup.exe -options-template responsefile

where responsefile is the full path and file name of the response file.

Installation instructions

Installation troubleshooting

  1. Scenario: You get the following message when starting, or using, Message Brokers Toolkit. "The license cannot be found or has expired. The features that do not have the valid license will be disabled."

    Solution: Parts of Message Brokers Toolkit require a license to be enrolled. The license is normally enrolled automatically, however in this situation you must run enroll.exe manually. Use one of the following commands to do this. You must also ensure your system date is correct.

  2. Scenario: The silent installer returns a return code of 0, even if the installation fails.

    Solution: You must check the installation log (mqsi5.log) for errors each time you complete a silent installation to ensure it completed with no errors.

    mqsi5.log is the installation log file. Its default location is typically C:\Documents and Settings\user_login_name.

Toolkit-only installation on Windows

If you have installed only the toolkit on a Windows system, you might have access problems when you connect the toolkit to the Configuration Manager. This is because several files that are required to identify the user's domain information (in addition to their userID information) are not installed in this scenario. The domain information is not sent to the Configuration Manager and security checks might fail.

Choose one of the two following options to set up your system to work around this problem:

  1. Install one of the runtime components (Configuration Manager, User Name Server, or broker) as well as the toolkit. You do not have to configure the component.
  2. Copy the following files from a Windows system on which you have installed one or more of the runtime components (Configuration Manager, User Name Server, or broker) to the system on which you have installed only the toolkit:

    Ensure that the files are in the defined PATH.

Installing service

Maintenance updates are available through a download from a Web site, in the form of a Program Temporary Fix (PTF), also known as a fix pack. Fix packs are cumulative, so, for example, you do not need to install Fix Pack 1 before you can install Fix Pack 2. However, you must have installed the GA code first to activate the licensing requirements.

You can find the latest information about available fix packs from: http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbimessagebroker/support/ or
http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbieventbroker/support/

Fix packs for WebSphere Business Integration Message Brokers Toolkit are installed using the same technology as the GA release. This means that product files are consistently tracked and updated appropriately.

You cannot remove individual fix packs without uninstalling the entire product. You are strongly recommended to keep a backup GA image and previous fix packs readily available in case you encounter problems after installing service. If you want to restore a system to a previous service level, you must uninstall the entire product, reinstall the GA level of the product, and then install the desired level of fix pack.

If you have any interim fixes applied to your existing installation, contact your IBM Service representative for instructions and possible updated interim fixes for the fix pack level that you are installing.

Note: If you install a fix pack for the Version 5.0 runtime components after you have installed Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1, choose a custom install and clear the check box for the Message Brokers Toolkit component. The tooling fixes provided in the Version 5.0 Fix pack are not compatible with the Version 5.1 toolkit; if you do not clear the check box, the installation program reports an error (because it cannot install Version 5.0 fixes onto a Version 5.1 component). It does successfully install fixes for all other components.
(If you are using console or silent installation, ensure that you choose the comparable options.)

Downloading a fix pack

You can download the latest fix pack from:
http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbimessagebroker/support/ or
http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbieventbroker/support/

Click "Recommended updates" and follow the link to WebSphere Business Integration Brokers v5. Find the required product and click the latest fix pack link. A description of the fix pack opens.

From this page you can access the readme.html file, the problems fixed in this fix pack (contained in the memo.ptf file) and the download packages.

Click on the link to download the package and follow the instructions on the IBM Downloads Web site. Select a suitable destination as the target for download.

Installing a fix pack

Ensure that the ID you are logged on as is a member of the Windows Administrators group in the local security domain. You are recommended to use the same ID that you used for installing WebSphere Business Integration Message Brokers Toolkit.

Ensure that all WebSphere Business Intergration Event Broker or WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker processes are stopped. You must perform the following tasks:

  1. Stop execution of the Configuration Manager, the User Name Server, and all brokers on this system using the mqsistop command, or by stopping the Windows services for these components from the Services program in the Control Panel.
  2. Stop execution of all instances of the workbench.
  3. Ensure that you do not have any WebSphere Business Intergration Event Broker or WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker files open.
  4. Exit all Windows programs before applying maintenance to Message Brokers Toolkit.
  5. Change to the directory into which you downloaded the fix pack file (Unnnnnn.exe). In Windows Explorer, right-click the file name and select Open. Alternatively, enter the following command at a command prompt:
    FixPackLauncher [-s] -a installation_arguments

    where FixPackLauncher is the full path to the fix pack executable file, for example U200208.exe.
    -s is optional and means that the fix pack launcher extracts silently. If you omit this, a progess of extraction panel is displayed.
    -a means read in the following installation arguments
    installation_arguments are the arguments that determine how the installation program runs. See Installation command line options.

    After successful extraction, the installer runs automatically according to the chosen arguments. Follow the instructions on the install panels. For a detailed description of the install panels, see Installation instructions.

    When you have completed the installation, review the multiplatform memo supplied in the readme directory, and complete any manual post-installation tasks required.
