Installing the Feature Pack for Web Services Client silently

Run the Feature Pack for Web Services Client installation program to install the feature pack on an existing installation of an IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 product. You can run the installation program silently.

Before you begin

Before starting this installation, do the following:
  1. Install an IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 product if you have not done so already.
  2. If your IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 installation already has the Feature Pack for Web Services Client installed and you want to install the feature pack again, uninstall the existing feature pack installation.

    Run the uninstall command in the app_client_root/uninstall_websv directory:

    • [AIX] [HP-UX] [Linux] [Solaris] uninstall.sh
    • [Windows] uninstall.exe

    Select options to complete uninstallation in the feature pack uninstallation wizard. After the wizard runs, delete the /uninstall_websv directory and any log files, if necessary.

Limitation: If you use the silent install option to install the Feature Pack for Web Services, you might receive a RequireSamePakversionForFEPPrereqPlugin error in the log files. The feature pack requires the IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.0.9. However, if you attempt to install the feature pack on a version later than Version 6.1.0.9, the error occurs. To address this issue, complete the following steps:
  1. Install the IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.0.9.
  2. Install the Feature Pack for Web Services.
  3. Install updates to Version 6.1.0.9 and updates to the feature pack.

About this task

This topic describes how to install the Feature Pack for Web Services Client silently using the installation program. It is recommended that you have 350 MB of temporary disk space available before beginning the installation.

The silent installation program installs the following program files:

Procedure

  1. Log on as the user who installed the IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server 6.1 product.
    • [AIX] [HP-UX] [Linux] [Solaris] Log on using the same user ID that was used when the product was installed.

      Run the ls -al command at the root of IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server 6.1 installation to find the user ID that was used to install the product.

    • [Windows] Log on as a user who belongs to the administrator group or as the user who installed the product.
  2. Copy the responsefile.WEBSVClient.txt file in the WEBSV directory of the feature pack installation image.

    Extract the downloaded product files. The WEBSV directory is the main directory of the Feature Pack for Web Services installation image.

  3. Edit responsefile.WEBSVClient.txt and customize it for your environment.

    Set values for the following options. The path may vary, depending on your installation.

    -OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true"
    -OPT disableNonBlockingPrereqChecking="true"
    -OPT installLocation="C:\\WebSphere\\AppClient"
    To override any option in the response file with command-line options, include the following option in the response file:
    -OPT overrideResponsefileOptions=true
  4. Stop all processes for the Version 6.1 product on which you are installing the feature pack.

    Stop any other product processes.

  5. Run the Feature Pack for Web Services silent installation program.

    At a command prompt for the WEBSV directory, enter the following command:

    install -options responsefile.WEBSVClient.txt -silent

    The installation program runs silently in the background.

Results

The installation program records events in the log files and installs the feature pack.

After the program runs, examine the logs in app_client_root/logs/install/webservices directory. If the feature pack does not install successfully, correct the problems identified in the logs and try installing the product again.
