Installing and removing the OSGi Applications feature on distributed operating systems

The Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and Java Persistence API 2.0 has an optional feature—the OSGi Applications feature. You can use Installation Manager to install and remove this feature.

Before you begin

Before you can install the OSGi Applications feature, you must have the Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and Java Persistence API 2.0 installed on your system.

Make sure that your Installation Manager preferences are pointing to the appropriate Web-based or local repositories containing the Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and Java Persistence API 2.0 product.

About this task

Perform this procedure to use Installation Manager to install or remove the OSGi Applications feature.

Procedure

  1. Stop all servers and applications on the WebSphere Application Server installation that is being modified.
  2. Start Installation Manager.
  3. Click Modify.
  4. Select the package group to modify.
  5. Click Next.
    Note: If you are prompted to authenticate, use the IBM ID and password that you registered with on the program Web site.
  6. Expand IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and Java Persistence API 2.0.
  7. Check the OSGi Applications checkbox to install the OSGi Applications feature, or clear the OSGi Applications checkbox to remove the OSGi Applications feature if you already have it installed.
    Notes:
    • This feature is optional.
    • The initial feature-selection state reflects what has already been installed on the system.
    • You must select at least one of the features in this feature pack.
    • If you are installing or removing this feature, additional actions are required.
      • If you install the OSGi Applications feature, you must use the manageProfiles command or the Profile Management Tool to augment an existing profile or create a new profile when this modification is finished to enable the functionality provided by the feature.
      • If you want to remove the OSGi Applications feature, you must perform one of the following actions:
        • Before you remove the feature, use the manageProfiles command to unaugment all profiles that are augmented with support for the feature.

          Profiles that are unaugmented should be deleted when this roll back is finished because they might not be valid after the feature is removed.

        • After you remove the feature, use the manageProfiles command to delete all profiles that are augmented with support for the feature.

  8. Click Next.
  9. Review the summary information, and click Modify.
    • If the modification is successful, the program displays a message indicating that installation is successful.
    • If the modification is not successful, click View Log File to troubleshoot the problem.
  10. Click Finish.
  11. Click File > Exit to close Installation Manager.

What to do next

To use the OSGi Applications feature's functionality, you must create a new profile with the OSGi functionality or augment an existing profile with the feature using either the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command.
