Installing Java server support on UNIX

To install Java server support on AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, or Linux systems, complete the following steps:

  1. Log in as root.
  2. Install the Advanced Edition Version 4.0 server base, followed by Fixpack 2. This brings your application server up to a Version 4.0.2 level. Instructions are provided in the topic Installing the Advanced Edition server base.
  3. AIX only: If you have not mounted the CD-ROM drive enter the following mount command now:
    mount -r -v cdrfs <CD_device> cdrom
  4. Insert your Enterprise Edition Server and Client CD into your CD-ROM drive.
  5. At a command prompt, change to the installation image directory on the CD:
    cd /cdrom/enterprise/your_platform/EnterpriseEdition
  6. Enter the installation command:
    ./setup
  7. On the Welcome page, click Next.
  8. On the Setup type page, select Typical.

    The Typical option includes all Java services (Business Rule Beans, Extended messaging support, Internationalization Service, and WorkArea Service). If you prefer to install these components individually, select Custom on the Setup type page.

  9. Click Next.

    The installation program finds the directory where the Advanced Edition server is installed and tells you that Enterprise Edition will be installed under the same directory. You cannot change the installation directory.

  10. Click Next.
  11. On the Install options selected page, click Next.

    The installation program copies files to your machine. All JAR files are copied to WAS_HOME/lib, and all other files are copied to subdirectories under WAS_HOME/Enterprise. A log file named install_en.log is written to WAS_HOME/Enterprise.

  12. When the installation completes, click Finish. Review the README file.

To validate that enterprise services were successfully installed on your system, open the product.xml file, located in the following directory:

WAS_HOME/properties/com/ibm/websphere

Your product.xml file should contain an entry similar to the following:

Advanced Edition for Multiplatforms with Enterprise Edition Services
There should also be an entry for each of the enterprise services you installed.
