This topic describes how to install additional features onto an existing Network Deployment product to update the deployment manager node.
Before you begin
You can add features to a deployment manager node at any time, by running the Installation wizard again. If you encounter a problem such as not having enough temporary space or not having the right packages on your system, cancel the installation, make the required changes, and restart the installation.
You can add features to Integration Server on a deployment manager node at any time, by running the Installation wizard again and choosing to add features.
The installation of new features uses the InstallShield for Multiplatforms (ISMP) wizard to perform the installation. You can use the Installation wizard or perform the installation from a command line, using the silent installation method.
Installation programs in WebSphere Application Server products
Product | Link to installation procedure | Label on product CD |
---|---|---|
(Base) WebSphere Application Server | Base product installation | Application Server, IBM HTTP Server |
Network Deployment | Network Deployment installation (which links to this procedure!) | Deployment Manager |
Enterprise | Enterprise installation | Enterprise Application Server |
Why and when to perform this task
Use the following procedure to avoid component regression problems when installing additional features.
Steps for this task
You cannot install features correctly as a non-root user on a Linux or UNIX system, or as a non-administrator on a Windows system.
For example, issue the following command from the install_root/bin directory of the deployment manager node on a Linux system:
#./backupConfig.sh /tmp/my_backup_2004-06-03.zip -user user_ID -password password
See backupConfig command for more information.
#./stopManager.sh -user user_ID -password passwordSee stopManager command for more information.
The rest of this procedure assumes that you are using the Installation wizard. Corresponding entries in the response file exist for every prompt that is described as part of the wizard. Comments in the response file describe how to customize the options.
The Installation wizard does not support hot keys, such as Alt-N. You can tab to Next and press Enter to select it, for example.
The license
that the Installation wizard displays can contain characters that display
incorrectly in Japanese. For example, the section labeled Part 1 does
not show the number 1. These missing characters do not significantly
affect the content of the license agreement.
Previously installed features are checked and grayed out with the term (Installed) at the end of the feature name.
Choose from these features:
See Developing Web services
for more information.
See IBM WebSphere UDDI Registry
for more
information.
See Enabling Web services through the IBM Web Services
Gateway
for more information.
You can run the uninstaller program to remove all installed features.
You can register the product now by using the link on this panel or later, by using the Web address in the install_root/prt/readme_prt.txt file. The Web address in the file is encoded for your locale. A known problem for some locales corrupts the Web address so that it is similar to the following example. (The Web address is all one line in the file. The following example shows the address on two lines for clarity.)
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fsoftware%2Fwebprt%2Fregister%2Fprodreg.nsf% 2Fcontact%3FOpenForm%26lang%3DENU%26pid%3D45P8842%26q2%3DWindows+2000
Use one of the following Web addresses if your install_root/prt/readme_prt.txt file is corrupt:
The Installation wizard starts the First Steps tool. See firststeps command for more information.
Verify
the success of the installer by querying the response code:
echo $?The return code from the installer is "1" to indicate success; any other response code indicates failure.
Look for severe errors that the installer records in the install_root/logs/log.txt file in the installation root directory to verify that no file system or other unusual errors occurred during installation.
If the install_root/logs/log.txt file does not contain a record of any problems but problems exist, verify or troubleshoot the installation, as described in Troubleshooting the installation and in Installation component troubleshooting tips.
If problems exist, correct them, uninstall the product, as described in Uninstalling the product, log off as root and back on, and reinstall.
# ./startManager.sh
See startManager command for more information.
Results
You have now successfully installed additional features for the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product.
