[Version 5.0.2]Installing application clients on Version 9 of the Solaris Operating Environment

Before you begin

Follow this procedure when installing application clients with the embedded messaging client feature on Version 9 of the Solaris Operating Environment. You need not perform this procedure if you are not installing the embedded messaging client feature. If you are installing from the Application Clients 1.4 CD-ROM, then you need not perform this procedure because the CD is current.

Why and when to perform this task

Determining if you have a problem

If you do not complete this procedure but install the embedded messaging client feature on the Solaris 9 platform, the installation appears to complete without visible error but you cannot use any embedded messaging functions.

Steps for this task

  1. Perform the pre-installation task for WebSphere Application Server installation on Version 9 of the Solaris Operating Environment by downloading and unpacking the mqpreinst.tar file from the Target can be accessed only when this topic is linked to the World Wide Web   Support Web site.

    Unpacking the file creates the /mqpreinstall directory.

  2. Click Support downloads and limit the downloads search to Version 5.0.2 to locate the article about installing WebSphere Application Server products and clients on Version 9 of the Solaris Operating Environment. The article contains the mqpreinst.tar file.
  3. Use the mq_preinstall.sh script to copy and update the installation image.

    The basic syntax of the script is:

         mq_preinstall.sh -orig originalImageLocation -temp tempImageLocation
    

    The -orig parameter identifies the root location of the original WebSphere Application Server client installation files.

    The -temp parameter identifies the local target directory where the script copies the original installation image. The script creates the target directory.

    For example:

         mq_preinstall.sh -orig /cdrom -temp /tmp/WebSphereTemp
    

    The script copies the original installation image from the CD-ROM to the /tmp/WebSphereTemp directory and updates the backlevel /tmp/WebSphereTemp/sun/messaging/wsmfuncs.SunOS file.

  4. Continue with the installation, by starting the installation wizard from the target directory.
  5. View the mq_prereq log in the /tmp directory to verify that the embedded messaging feature installed successfully.

    The return code from the installation program indicates success. Installation of the embedded messaging feature is successful if the return code is zero. If the installation program exited with a non-zero return code, the installation of the embedded messaging feature is not successful. If unsuccessful, uninstall the client and complete the procedure described previously to reinstall.

Results

After installing the updated installation image, install Fix Pack 2.

Example

You can invoke the mq_preinstall.sh script with a relative or absolute file path, or from within the mqpreinst directory:

Absolute addressing example:

     /tmp/mqpreinstall/mq_preinstall.sh -orig /cdrom -temp /tmp/WebSphereTemp

Relative addressing example:

     ./mqpreinstall/mq_preinstall.sh -orig /cdrom -temp /tmp/WebSphereTemp

Example from within the /mqpreinst directory:

     cd mqpreinstall
     ./mq_preinstall.sh -orig /cdrom -temp /tmp/WebSphereTemp
