2: Installing WebSphere Application Server
To install WebSphere Application Server or to upgrade a previous installation of
WebSphere Application Server:
- Determine whether you have the correct levels
of software that WebSphere Application Server requires to run on your machine's
operating system.
Note that WebSphere Application Server comes with a Java Development
Kit, a Web server (IBM HTTP Server, or the NetWare Enterprise Web Server included with IBM
WebSphere for NetWare and with NetWare 5.1), and one or more database products (InstantDB
for evaluation uses and, on Windows, DB2 Universal Database).
- If you are using a version of WebSphere Application Server previous to Version 3.5 and
you have data that you want to use with Version 3.5, complete any needed
migration.
- Follow the installation instructions appropriate for your
machine's operating system, given your choice of Web server and
database.
To view the PDF and HTML installation instructions available for your operating
system, click one of the operating systems links available
on the Welcome page.
If you later need to uninstall WebSphere Application Server, use the
Uninstall option available to you and complete
any needed additional steps.
Performing large rollouts efficiently
See article 2.2. to learn how to use the XML export/import
facilities and silent installation functionality to perform identical installations of
WebSphere Application Server on different machines. Consider this option if you are
installing identical configurations of WebSphere Application Server on separate machines
as part of a large rollout.
