Comprehensive install and uninstall information

The information in this section describes how to install WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus.

Install the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus product by running a platform-specific executable for the installer. Table 5 lists the installer executable for each operating system. The installer executables are located in the WebSphereBI directory on the product CD.

Operating system WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Installer executable file
Windows setupwin32.exe

Note:
These procedures assume that you are installing from a product CD. If you obtain your software from Passport Advantage, make sure you have downloaded it. Refer to your Passport Advantage information for those downloading instructions.
Note:
If you are installing the adapters to communicate with InterChange Server Express, you must install the broker first. See the installation guide for InterChange Server Express on the appropriate platform for information on how to install the broker.
Important:
Make sure you are logged in as the WebSphere business integration system administrator before you install the adapters.
Important:
You must not install WebSphere Business Integration Adapters as root. The entry that is added to the Object Data Manager (ODM) when installing as root prevents you from using SMIT to uninstall other applications, so you should not install WebSphere Business Integration Adapters as root.

Invoking the graphical WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Installer

The graphical WebSphere Business Integration Adapters installer presents you with a wizard that allows you to make choices about the installation of the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters product. Although the installer is Java-based and therefore platform-independent, there are different ways of invoking the installer for each platform. This section describes the approaches for Windows computers.

Invoking Installer in a Windows environment
