[z/OS]

Installing the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile product code

The product code for the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile is installed using IBM® Installation Manager.

Before you begin

  1. Create an Installation Manager on your z/OS® system. You will need to know the location of the binaries directory for the Installation Manager and have access to a user ID that can invoke the Installation Manager.
  2. Obtain an IBM Software user ID and password if you do not already have one.

    For information about registering for an IBM password, read Registration Help and FAQ.

  3. Install a copy of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 8.0.

Procedure

  1. Choose the installed copy of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 8.0 onto which you will install the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile.
  2. Mount the product file system for this copy of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 8 at the same location at which it was originally installed with IBM Installation Manager.

    In the examples below, this location is /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R0.

    The file system will require an additional 900 tracks (3390) or 45 megabytes of disk space to install the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile.

    You can use the zMountFileSystem.sh script in the eclipse/tools subdirectory of the Installation Manager binaries location to mount this file system. For example:
    cd /InstallationManager/bin/eclipse/tools
    
    zMountFileSystem.sh -name WAS.V80.SBBOHFS -type ZFS 
      -mountpoint /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R0

    You can add the -owner, -group, and -perm options to this command to set the ownership and permissions for all files in the file system.

  3. If you do not already have an Installation Manager credentials file containing your IBM software user ID and password, create one.
    To create a credentials file, use the imutilsc saveCredential command:
    imutilsc saveCredential 
      -keyring keyring_file_location
      -userName IBM_software_ID 
      -userPassword IBM_software_password
      -url http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.WEB2MOBILE.v11/repository.config
    This command attempts to access the feature-pack repository using the credentials that you have provided and saves the credentials in the credentials (keyring) file. The credentials file should reside in a secure directory that is accessible to the Installation Manager user ID but not to any ID that should not have access to your authentication data.
  4. Log in to the UNIX System Services shell under the Installation Manager user ID, and change the directory to the eclipse/tools subdirectory of the Installation Manager binaries location.
    For example:
    cd /InstallationManager/bin/eclipse/tools
  5. Verify that the feature-pack repository is available.
    You do this by issuing the following Installation Manager command-line command.
    imcl listAvailablePackages 
      -keyring keyring_file_location
      -repositories http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.WEB2MOBILE.v11
    You should see one or more levels of the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile offering, com.ibm.websphere.WEB2MOBILE.v11.
  6. Read the product license, which can be found in the lafiles subdirectory of the feature-pack repository.
  7. Run the Installation Manager command-line tool to install the Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile.
    imcl install com.ibm.websphere.WEB2MOBILE.v11
      -installationDirectory installation_location
      -repositories http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.WEB2MOBILE.v11 
      -sharedResourcesDirectory shared_data_location 
      -acceptLicense
      -keyring keyring_file_location
    

    The -sharedResourcesDirectory parameter points to a directory in which Installation Manager will store artifacts from the repository during installation processing. This value is set the first time a product is installed with a particular Installation Manager. You can omit this parameter after the shared resources directory has been set.

    By specifying -acceptLicense, you accept the terms of the product license contained in the feature-pack repository. For example:
    imcl install com.ibm.websphere.WEB2MOBILE.v11
      -installationDirectory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R0
      -repositories http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.WEB2MOBILE.v11
      -sharedResourcesDirectory /InstallationManager/sharedResources
      -acceptLicense
      -keyring keyring_file_location

    If you installed the IBM Installation Manager installation kit with SMP/E, you can use modify and submit sample job GIN3INST in the SGINJCL dataset to perform the feature-pack installation.

  8. Feature-pack installation is complete when the Installation Manager completes without error messages.

    Logs for the installation can be found in the logs subdirectory of the Installation Manager runtime data location.

  9. When feature-pack installation is complete, unmount the product file system and remount it read-only for use by WebSphere® Application Server nodes and servers.
