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.
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
- Unzip the downloaded PAK file into a directory of your
choice.
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.
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.
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.
- Run the following script from within the directory:
chmod +x objectGrid_install.sh
objectGrid_install.bat
- Accept the license agreement, and click Next to
continue.
- Specify the installation location, and click Next.
To select a different directory, click Browse or
type the directory.
- 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.
- Click Next to accept the installation
summary.
- Review the confirmation panel, and click Finish to
exit the wizard.
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.
