Installing Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile on IBM i

Install a feature pack directly from your iSeries server onto an existing Version 6.1 application server.

Before you begin

The Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile is an optionally installable product extension for IBM WebSphere Application Server that offers targeted, incremental new features that can make your Web applications running on WebSphere Application Server easier to use. The feature pack extends Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) by connecting external Web services, internal Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) services, and Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) objects into highly-interactive Web application interfaces.

Before starting this installation, complete the following actions:

  1. Ensure that your user profile has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  2. Determine if the application server is already installed on your server. The feature pack must be installed on an existing application server installation.
    1. Enter the Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command on a CL command line.
    2. Look for an entry with the product Resource ID 5733W61.
      • If you do not find the product Resource ID, then this product has not been installed on your iSeries server.
      • If you find the product Resources ID, ensure that at least one of the following entries is displayed:
        • 5733W61 2 5102 WebSphere Application Server V6.1
        • 5733W61 1 5101 WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Express
        • 5733W61 3 5103 WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Network Deployment
  3. Install a WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 product if you have not done so already. Update the application server to at least version 6.1.0.13.
  4. Download the feature pack and extract the contents to an integrated file system (IFS) directory on the iSeries system on which you will install.

    For example, create two directories, web20_download and web20_installation_image. Then, download the feature pack to the web20_download directory and then extract the downloaded file to the web20_installation_image directory. Do not move any files out of the web20_installation_image directory.

  5. The operating-system requirements for a feature pack are the same as for an application server installation. However, you need to ensure that you have enough free disk space to install the feature pack onto the application server installation. The following space is required:
    • 280 MB of free space available in your target installation directory for the feature pack. This is in addition to the required application server product.
    • 250 MB of free space available in your temporary directory
Restriction: You cannot install a feature pack remotely, for example from a Windows workstation. You must install a feature pack on an IBM i server using a local command-line installation.

About this task

This topic describes how to install the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile silently using the installation program. You can install the feature pack from Qshell using the INSTALL command. You can also use the RUNJVA command to invoke the installation wizard.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the iSeries system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  2. Copy the responsefile.WEB2MOBFEP.txt file located in the root directory of the extracted install image.
  3. Edit the copy of the response file. You can edit the file using a mapped drive and a text editor or by using the EDTF CL command from the IBM i system command line.

    Set values for the following options where app_server_root is the directory path to your WebSphere Application Server installation:

    -OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true"
    -OPT installLocation=app_server_root

    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 application server product on which you are installing the feature pack.

    Stop the application server and any other product processes. For example, for the Network Deployment product, stop the deployment manager, the node agent, and all application server processes.

  5. Verify that the host server jobs have started on your iSeries server.

    The host server jobs allow the installation code to run on iSeries. On a CL command line, enter the following command:

    STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL)
  6. If you have not already done so, read the IBM International Program License Agreement located in the lafiles directory.

    If you agree to the terms of the agreement, continue with the installation process.

  7. Invoke the installation program for the feature pack.

    Run the INSTALL command from Qshell or use the RUNJVA command from the CL command line.

    In the following example commands, path/responsefile represents the fully qualified path of the response file that you edited:

    • Run the INSTALL command from Qshell.
      1. On a CL command line, issue the STRQSH command to start the Qshell command shell.
      2. Issue the installation command from the root directory of the extracted install image to start the installation program:
        install -options path/responsefile -silent
        Important: Do not exit the Qshell session (PF3) until the installation has completed. Doing so might cause the installation to stop prematurely.
    • Or, issue the RUNJVA command from the CL command line:

      At the CL command line, enter the RUNJVA command in the root directory of the extracted install image. Enter the full command on one line. The command is shown here on more lines for formatting clarity:

      RUNJVA 
        CLASS(run) PARM('-options' 'path/responsefile' '-silent') 
        CLASSPATH('setup.jar') 
        PROP(
          ('Xbootclasspath/p' 'java/endorsed/xml.jar') 
          (java.version 1.5) 
          (is.debug 1)
         )
  8. For security purposes, if the host servers were not running prior to installation, it is recommended that you run the end host server (ENDHOSTSVR) command after the installation is complete.

Results

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

What to do next

After you have installed Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile you can begin using the feature pack by working with the various included features and applications. See Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile applications for more information.

Applying Maintenance

Use the Update Installer to install maintenance packages for any of the installable WebSphere software components in the product package. Read the "Installing maintenance packages" topic for more information.
