Installing and removing tools in the WebSphere Customization Toolbox

You can use Installation Manager to install or remove a tool in the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.

Before you begin

Make sure that your Installation Manager preferences are pointing to the appropriate web-based or local repositories containing the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.

Important: When you uninstall the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool, the process does not unconfigure existing web server plug-ins configurations. You might want to use the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool to delete any plug-in configurations that you created using the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool before you remove the tool.

About this task

Perform this procedure to use the Installation Manager GUI to install or remove a tool in the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.

Note: Like other Installation Manager operations, you can also invoke a modification using one of the following procedures:
  • Using a response file

    You can record this response file using the GUI and Installation Manager's record mode, or you can manually create or modify a response file to suit your needs.

  • Using the imcl command-line tool

    Go to the IBM® Installation Manager documentation for more information.

Procedure

  1. Close the WebSphere Customization Toolbox 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 website.

  7. Check the appropriate checkbox to install a tool, or clear the appropriate checkbox to remove a tool if you already have it installed.
    • Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool

      The Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool configures the web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server so that your web server and application server can communicate with each other.

    • Profile Management Tool (z/OS only)
      The Profile Management Tool (z/OS only) creates customized definitions on an Intel-based Windows or Linux operating system that are used to create or augment WebSphere Application Server profiles on z/OS systems. Each customization definition includes a set of customized jobs with associated instructions. The generated jobs must be uploaded to and run on the target z/OS system.
      Restriction: This tool can be installed and run on Intel-based Windows and Linux platforms only.
    • z/OS Migration Management Tool
      The z/OS Migration Management Tool creates migration definitions on an Intel-based Windows or Linux operating system that are used to migrate a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS node. Each migration definition consists of a set of customized migration jobs with associated instructions. The generated migration jobs must be uploaded to and run on the target z/OS system.
      Restriction: This tool can be installed and run on Intel-based Windows and Linux platforms only.
  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.

In the following list, the optional feature offering names are enclosed in parentheses at the end of the items:
  • Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool (pct)
  • Profile Management Tool (z/OS® only) (zpmt)
  • z/OS Migration Management Tool (zmmt)
[Windows] The following response file modifies an existing WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<agent-input clean='true' temporary='true'>
<server>
<repository location="http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v90" />
</server>
<uninstall modify='true'>
<offering id='com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v90' 
  profile='WebSphere Customization Toolbox V9.0' 
  features='zmmt,zpmt'/>
</uninstall>
<profile id='WebSphere Customization Toolbox V9.0' 
  installLocation='C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Toolbox'>
<data key='eclipseLocation' value='C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Toolbox'/>
<data key='user.import.profile' value='false'/>
<data key='user.select.64bit.image,com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v90' value='false'/>
<data key='cic.selector.nl' value='en'/>
</profile>
</agent-input>
[Windows] The following example imcl command modifies the tools in an installation:
imcl.exe modify com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v90
  -addFeatures zmmt
  -removeFeatures zpmt
  -repositories http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v90
  -installationDirectory C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Toolbox
  -secureStorageFile C:\IM\credential.store -masterPasswordFile C:\IM\master_password.txt
