WebSphere® Application
Server Version 8.5 products are distributed as IBM® Installation Manager repositories. These
repositories contain the metadata and files that are required to create
one or more levels of a particular product. The product repository
for IBM HTTP Server Version
8.5 is part of the product repository for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS® Version 8.5.
About this task
The initial repository for the WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS Version 8.5 product
can be obtained by one of the following methods:
- Installing with SMP/E using a ServerPac, SystemPac®, or Customer-Build Product Delivery
Offering (CBPDO)
This results in a repository file system containing
the initial repositories for WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS, DMZ Secure
Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS, IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, and Web Server Plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. An optional second repository
contains the code for IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0.
- Copying the initial (compressed) product repositories from the
product physical media or ShopzSeries to your z/OS system, and uncompressing them
New service levels can be installed from the web-based
service repositories or downloaded as service repositories that contain
additional product code. Each service repository contains all the
necessary materials to upgrade any previous service level of WebSphere Application Server
Version 8.5 to the level of the service repository.
- Applying PTFs to an SMP/E-based repository adds a single level
of the service repository for each component to the SMP/E-managed
repository.
- Downloading service repositories from Fix
Central allows you to upgrade WebSphere Application Server components
to new service levels.
Procedure
Perform the procedure described in Obtaining product
repositories for installing the product on z/OS to obtain the
repository for IBM HTTP Server
for z/OS Version 8.5.
