WebSphere Application Server V4.0.3 or higher. For example, V5.1 and V6.0 2. SDK daily build or service release in jar file format that is NOT packaged as a Websphere Application Server fixpack, cumulative fix or interim fix. (NOTE: Java SDK daily builds are not available on website. They are provided only by WebSphere Application Server Support ) How to start IBM SDK Installer ---------------------------------------- Note: : WebSphere Application Server installation directory in a typical WebSphere Application Server installation is /usr/WebSphere/AppServer in a typical WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation is /usr/WebSphere/DeploymentManager 1. Create a directory e.g., /tmp/SDKInstaller or c:\temp\SDKInstaller 2. Unzip IBM SDK Installer into the directory e.g., /tmp/SDKInstaller or c:\temp\SDKInstaller 3. Source the setupCmdLine.sh in WebSphere Application Server bin directory on UNIX®-based platforms so that the WebSphere® environment variables are set. For example, on UNIX®-based platforms, run this command to source the script to the parent shell to inherit the exported variables: # . /bin/setupCmdLine.sh There is a space after the period. Run setupCmdLine.bat in WebSphere Application Server bin directory on Windows platforms so that the WebSphere® environment variables are set. e.g., c:\websphere\appserver\bin\setupcmdline.bat 4. Run install.bat or install.sh in the directory for graphical user interface(GUI) installer or run install.bat / install.sh with command-line arguments for non-GUI installer e.g., ./install.sh or install.bat How to upgrade WebSphere Application Server SDK with GUI installer ------------------------------------------------------- 1. Stop all WebSphere Application Server processes, as well as related component processes such as IBM HTTP Server and embedded messaging, Run slibclean on AIX platform to remove any currently unused modules in kernel and library memory. 2. Backup WebSphere Application Server 3. Create a Java backup directory to save current SDK directory (For example, /backup/java or c:\temp\java) Please do not create the directory in WebSphere Application Server directory. 4. Start IBM SDK Installer. Refer to "How to start IBM SDK Installer" 5. Specify WebSphere Application Server Java SDK directory (by default, /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/java or c:\websphere\appserver\java) 6. Specify the Java backup directory (from step 3) IBM SDK Installer will copy current Java SDK into the Java backup directory. Note: Any existing file in backup directory will be overwritten. 7. Specify Java SDK update file. (For example, /sdk_builds/ca131-20040114-sdk.jar) 8. Click on Update button to update Java SDK How to upgrade WebSphere Application Server Java SDK with non-GUI installer ------------------------------------------------------- 1. Stop all WebSphere Application Server processes, as well as related component processes such as IBM HTTP Server and embedded messaging, Run slibclean on AIX platform to remove any currently unused modules in kernel and library memory. 2. Backup WebSphere Application Server 3. Create a Java backup directory to save current Java SDK directory (For example, /backup/java or c:\temp\java) 4. Start IBM SDK Installer. Refer to "How to start IBM SDK Installer" first. On Windows platform, install.bat JavaDirectory BackupJavaDirectory JarFile On Unix-based platform, ./install.sh JavaDirectory BackupJavaDirectory JarFile JavaDirectory : java directory under WebSphere Application Server BackupJavaDirectory : backup Java directory for current Java SDK created in step 3. IBM SDK Installer will copy current Java SDK into the backup directory. Note: Any existing file in backup directory will be overwritten. JarFile : Java SDK jar file For example, ./install.sh /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/java /backup/java /tmp/13112-sdk.jar How to restore WebSphere Application Server SDK ------------------------------------------------------- 1. Stop all WebSphere Application Server processes, as well as related component processes such as IBM HTTP Server and embedded messaging, Run slibclean on AIX platform to remove any currently unused modules in kernel and library memory. 2. Backup WebSphere Application Server java directory. For example, /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/java 3. Delete all directories and files in WebSphere Application Server java directory. Then you have empty WebSphere Application Server java directory. 4. Restore all the files and directories from backup Java SDK directory (created during upgrade step 3 of "How to upgrade WebSphere Application Server Java SDK" ) into WebSphere Application Server Java SDK directory.
