 Downloadable files
 
Abstract
Installing WebSphere® Application Server V5.0 on AIX® 5.2 platforms requires some special steps due to the fact that this platform was not supported at the time of release.
 
Download Description
In order to install WebSphere Application Server V5.0 releases on AIX 5.2 platforms, you must perform three steps.

1. Download the modified version of the prereqChecker.xml file and associated prereqChecker.dtd file from the table below. These files are used to check software prerequisites during the installation process. Copy both of these files into the same directory, they must be in the same directory prior to beginning the installation process.

2. Install WebSphere Application Server V5.0 on the AIX 5.2 host using the modified prereqChecker.xml file. Use the osLevelCheckActionBean.configFilePath parameter to pass the modified prereqChecker.xml file to the install program as in the example below.

./install -W osLevelCheckActionBean.configFilePath="/tmp/prereqChecker.xml"

3. Download and Install the appropriate WebSphere Application Server V5.0 fix pack. This final step is very important, since there are changes to the WebSphere Application Server runtime in Fix Packs 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 to support AIX 5.2 that are not in the original WebSphere Application Server V5.0.

Details on this procedure are available in the document entitled "How to Install WebSphere 5.0.x on AIX 5.2" in the table below.
