Deciding which steps to follow

If you have not already done so, install Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise and obtain the product CD for WebSphere Application Server or download the product from the IBM WebSphere Application Server Web site. The IBM Developer Kit is installed when you install WebSphere Application Server.

During the IBM WebSphere Application Server installation process, Merant SequeLink is not offered among the choices of databases available for use. You must initially specify a database that is listed in the installation graphical user interface. Subsequently, you convert to the Merant SequeLink driver by using a database conversion assistant tool that can be downloaded from the Web.

If you do not have any of the software installed yet, consider the Quick Install option, which installs IBM HTTP Server and a DB2 database. The database conversion assistant tool can be used to change to the Merant SequeLink product and SQL Server Enterprise.

Instructions for installation follow:

  1. Install WebSphere Application Server -- Quick Install option.
  2. Install Merant SequeLink for use with IBM WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition and SQL Server Enterprise on Windows.
  3. Configure WebSphere Application Server for use with Merant SequeLink driver.
