Using the Installation wizard to install ObjectGrid

With WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid Version 6.1 Fix Pack 3 or later, you can install ObjectGrid as a separate component. After you install ObjectGrid as a separate component, you can use ObjectGrid in other product environments.

Before you begin

The Installation wizard for ObjectGrid is included in WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid Version 6.1 Fix Pack 3 or later. Before you can install ObjectGrid, you must first download Data Grid Version 6.1.0.3 or later from the Support Web site. For Data Grid Version 6.1.0.4, for example, download the 6.1.0–WS-WXDDG-FP0000004.pak file. For more information, see Recommended fixes for WebSphere Extended Deployment.

[For z/OS operating system] Installing ObjectGrid as a separate component on z/OS systems is not supported.

About this task

ObjectGrid is a grid-enabled, memory database for Java™ 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) and Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications. You can use ObjectGrid as an in-memory database or to distribute data across a network.

Procedure

  1. Unzip the downloaded PAK file into a directory of your choice.
  2. [Version 6.1.0.4 only] Manually edit the installation directory in the script file to change the version of the fix pack from 6.1.0.3 to 6.1.0.4.

    [For Windows operating system] In the objectGrid_install.bat file, the installation directory is defined as @SET OGDIR=xd.data.FP6103.pak\repository\image.og.cip\bin\xd_objectgrid. Change xd.data.FP6103.pak to xd.data.FP6104.pak.

    [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system] In the objectGrid_install.sh file, the installation directory is defined as export OGDIR=xd.data.FP6103.pak/repository/image.og.cip/bin/xd_objectgrid. Change xd.data.FP6103.pak to xd.data.FP6104.pak.

  3. Run the following script from within the directory:
    [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system]
    chmod +x objectGrid_install.sh
    [For Windows operating system]
    objectGrid_install.bat
    Avoid trouble: Errors might occur if the JAVA_HOME directory is not set correctly. Issue the following command for the command help, and follow the instructions that are displayed:
    [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system]
    objectGrid_install.sh -help
    [For Windows operating system]
    objectGrid_install.bat /?
    gotcha
  4. Accept the license agreement, and click Next to continue.
  5. Specify the installation location, and click Next. To select a different directory, click Browse or type the directory.
  6. Select the existing profiles to augment during the installation process, and click Next. You can also augment a profile later by using the Profile Management tool.
    Restriction: If you have existing profiles that are already in use, a warning panel is displayed. Before you can continue with the installation process, either stop the servers that are configured in the profiles, or click Back to clear the profiles.
  7. Click Next to accept the installation summary.
  8. Review the confirmation panel, and click Finish to exit the wizard.

    [For Windows operating system] An exception incorrectly stating that the installconfig.log file did not transfer to the installation directory location during the installation process is displayed in the objectgrid_install_logs/updatetrace.log file. However, you can ignore the exception. The installconfig.log file is in the install_root/logs/objectgrid/install/ directory.
