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:
- Install an IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server
V6.1 product if you have not done so already.
- 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:
uninstall.sh
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:
- Install the IBM Application Client for WebSphere
Application Server Version 6.1.0.9.
- Install the Feature Pack for Web Services.
- Install updates to Version 6.1.0.9 and updates to the feature
pack.
About this task

Procedure
- Log on as the user who installed the IBM Application Client
for WebSphere Application Server 6.1 product.

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.

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

-OPT overrideResponsefileOptions=true
- Stop all processes for the Version 6.1 product on which
you are installing the feature pack.

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

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.
