Before you begin

Ensure the following before you begin:

Procedure

  1. To install the WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager, perform the following steps:

    2. Run the installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
    3. When prompted to create a profile, choose the Deployment Manager profile.
    4. Install any necessary WebSphere Application Server fix packs.
    5. Install WebSphere Application Server Extended Deployment.
    6. Install any WebSphere Application Server Extended Deployment fix packs necessary.
    7. Install DB2 Administration Client.
  2. To install the ODR node, perform the following steps:
    1. The ODR must be a separate machine from other servers and nodes for performance and security reasons.
    2. Install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
    3. When prompted to create a profile, choose the Application Server profile.
    4. Install any necessary WebSphere Application Server fix packs.
    5. Install WebSphere Application Server Extended Deployment.
    6. Install any necessary WebSphere Application Server Extended Deployment fix packs.
    7. Start the Deployment Manager.
    8. Federate the ODR node to the Deployment Manager.
  3. To install the Web Server node, perform the following steps:
    1. The IBM HTTP Server is the typical Web Server installed with WebSphere Commerce.
    2. The Web Server node must on a separate machine from other servers and nodes for performance and security reasons.
    3. Install the IBM HTTP Server 6.0 that is included with the WebSphere Application Server.

    8. Install WebSphere Extended Deployment for Mixed Server Environment to enable monitoring of the Web Server node.
  4. To install the database server node, perform the following steps:
    1. DB2 is the typical database installed with WebSphere Commerce.
    2. The database node can be vertically stacked with a WebSphere Commerce Server node, but is not recommended.
    3. Install DB2 Enterprise Server Edition.
    4. Install any necessary DB2 fix packs.
    5. Optionally, install WebSphere Extended Deployment for Mixed Server Environment to enable monitoring of the Database node.
    For more information, refer to the DB2 documentation.
  5. To install the WebSphere Commerce Server node, perform the following steps:
    1. Each WebSphere Commerce Server node services requests forwarded to it by the ODR.
    2. WebSphere Commerce Server nodes can be vertically stacked if appropriate.
    3. Run the installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
    4. When prompted to create a profile, choose the Application Server profile.
    5. Install any necessary WebSphere Application Server fix packs.
    6. Install WebSphere Application Server Extended Deployment.
    7. Install any necessary WebSphere Application Server Extended Deployment fix packs.
    8. Install DB2 Administration Client. Catalog the database server node.
    9. Install WebSphere Commerce. The following command is required setup.exe -W override.enableWAS6=true
    10. Choose custom installation and install WebSphere Commerce.
    11. Launch the WebSphere Commerce Configuration Manager. Create the demo instance. Choose manual configuration for Web Server.
    12. Start the deployment manager.
    13. Federate the WebSphere Commerce Server node to the deployment manager, using the -includeapps option.
    14. AIX: Launch the deployment manager console. Change the WebSphere Commerce Server nodeagent process execution to start as wasuser / wasgroup. Change the WebSphere Commerce Server WC_demo process execution to start as wasuser / wasgroup. Change the WebSphere Commerce Server WC_demo JVM arguments to include -Xss5m. Store publish fails if this is not done.
