- Install Application Client for IBM WebSphere Application Server.
Application
Client for IBM WebSphere Application Server provides resources and
clients to aid development of client applications for use with WebSphere
Application Server.
You do not need to install the Application

that you are deploying was designed to run as a client application.
- Install IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server.
IBM
HTTP Server is a web server based on the Apache HTTP Server developed
by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). This product provides advanced
web server capabilities and a consistent cross-platform build of the
Apache HTTP Server.
After installing a WebSphere Application
Server product, you can use the application server to serve applications
over the Internet. It is not necessary to install the IBM® HTTP
Server or another web server.
The installation solution diagrams
in Planning the WebSphere Application Server product installation show the components
that are present in different types of environments.
- Install the Web Server Plug-ins for IBM WebSphere Application
Server.
If you install the IBM HTTP
Server or another web server, you must then install a binary module
for the web server to enable it to communicate with WebSphere Application
Server products.
After installing a web server plug-in, you
can use the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool to create a new
element in the application server configuration called a web
server definition. You can then manage applications for the
web server using the administrative console.
- Install the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.
The WebSphere Customization
Toolbox includes tools for customizing various parts of your WebSphere
Application Server environment. For example, you can use the WebSphere
Customization Toolbox graphical user interface (GUI) to launch the
Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool to configure your web server
plug-ins for any operating system on which the WebSphere Customization
Toolbox can be installed.
Install the z/OS Profile Management
Tool on a Windows or Linux operating system to generate jobs and instructions

Server for z/OS profiles.
