Installing Version 4.0.2 for Linux on zSeries

Install WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 for Linux on zSeries (also referred to as "Version 4.0.2") as follows:

  1. Ensure that your hardware and supporting software meet prerequisites for Version 4.0.2. You can find lists of prerequisite products needed for IBM WebSphere Application Server at http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/latest/prereq.html.

  2. Read Version 4.0 InfoCenter installation information on the Linux (Intel) Advanced Edition product, specifically the PDF lx_adv_ihs_db2.pdf. Parts of the information in that PDF, revised as necessary for this release, are provided with these release notes. (See steps 3, 4, 6 and 7 below.) Access the InfoCenter from http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/infocenter.html. Note that installation information for Linux products is not available in HTML format but is available in PDF format. (Select the "Getting Started" section of the InfoCenter and then "Installation documents.") Further, read pertinent information on installation and configuration problems and fixes in these Release Notes. If you are installing WebSphere Application Server onto a machine that does not use an English locale, read as well information on National Language Version issues and limitations.

    Also read "Additional instructions on setting up DB2 UDB."

  3. Install DB2 UDB. Note that DB2 UDB is available on a CD in the CD package for WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition.

  4. Configure DB2 for WebSphere Application Server and create a DB2 database instance.

  5. If you are using IBM HTTP Server, remove any versions of IBM HTTP Server previous to Version 1.3.19 before installing WebSphere Application Server. Use the proper package removal utility for your system to remove both the IBM HTTP Server directories as well as the IBM HTTP Server package registration with your system's package repository.

  6. Install WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0.

  7. Test your installation of WebSphere Application Server.
