Installation Instructions
How to start IBM SDK Installer
----------------------------------------
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:
# . <was_root>/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 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.
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 Java 2 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.
