There are three basic options for installing IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0.
  • Access the physical media, and use local installation:

    You can access the repositories on the product media. Use Installation Manager to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 from the product repositories on the media.

  • Download the files from the Passport Advantage® site, and use local installation:
    Licensed customers with a Passport Advantage ID and password can download the necessary repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
    1. Download the repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
      Tip: See How to download WebSphere Application Server V8.58.5.5 from Passport Advantage Online for a list of the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5 installation images downloadable from the IBM Passport Advantage Online website and other information.
    2. Use Installation Manager to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 from the downloaded repositories.
  • Access the live repositories, and use web-based installation:
    If you have a Passport Advantage ID and password, you can use Installation Manager to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 from the web-based repositories. Use Installation Manager to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 from the web-based repository located at
    http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70 
    Note: This location does not contain a web page that you can access using a web browser. This is a remote web-based repository location that you must specify for the value of the -repositories parameter so that the imcl command can access the files in this repository to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0.

    Whenever possible, you should use the remote web-based repositories so that you are accessing the most up-to-date installation files.

Notes:
  • If you do not have a Passport Advantage ID and password, you must install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 from the product repositories on the media or local repositories.
  • With the Packaging Utility, you can create and manage packages for installation repositories. You can copy multiple packages into one repository or copy multiple disks for one product into a repository. You can copy packages from Passport Advantage or a web-based repository into a local repository for example. For more information on the Packaging Utility, go to the IBM Installation Manager Version 1.6 Information Center or the IBM Installation Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.
[8.5.5.2 or later] IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.1 and above are only available from the web. You have the following options:
  • Download the installation files from the IBM Fix Central website and use a local installation.
  • Access the live repositories and use your IBM Software ID for a web-based installation.

About this task

The WebSphere Application Server offering installation determines whether Installation Manager installs a 32-bit or 64-bit version of IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.x. If the WebSphere Application Server offering has a 32-bit version of IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 6.0 installed, Installation Manager installs a 32-bit version of SDK Version 7.x. If the WebSphere Application Server offering has a 64-bit version of SDK Version 6.0 installed, Installation Manager installs a 64-bit version of SDK Version 7.x. For DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server, which has only a JRE, Installation Manager installs an SDK Version 7.x bit architecture corresponding to that of the JRE.
