The Launchpad has determined which prerequisites are needed for your
system:
- If you plan to perform collaboration and mapping development, you need to
have the IBM Java Development Kit 1.3.1_05 prerequisite
installed. The Launchpad can automatically install this
software. See Installing the Java Development Kit for details.
- Every installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and
Express Plus requires installation of WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 CSD06 or a higher CSD level. However,
whether you need to install both the server and client or just the client
depends on the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus
components you plan to install. The Launchpad can automatically install
this software. See Installing WebSphere MQ for details.
- If you plan to install the InterChange Server Express component of
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus, you will need a
database to hold the repository (which contains metadata for installed
components). The Launchpad can automatically install and configure a
supported database, or configure an existing supported database. See Installing and configuring a database for more information.
- If you plan to use System Monitor or Failed Event Manager (which are
installed as components of the Administrative Toolset Express) you need to
install a Web application server. The Launchpad can automatically
install WebSphere Application Server Express v5.1. See Installing WebSphere Application Server Express for more details. Other Web application servers are
supported.
- Important:
- If you want the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus
installer to automatically configure System Monitor and Failed Event Manager
for use with the Express or Express Plus product and with WebSphere
Application Server Express or WebSphere Application Server, you
must have one of the supported versions of WebSphere Application
Server Express or WebSphere Application Server installed before you
run the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus
installer. Otherwise, you will have to manually configure System
Monitor and Failed Event Manager, as detailed in Manually configuring System Monitor and Failed Event Manager. If you are using Tomcat as your Web application
server, you will need to manually configure it. See Manually configuring System Monitor and Failed Event Manager for details.
The automatic configuration that the WebSphere Business Integration Server
Express or Express Plus installer performs assumes that no Web server, such as
IBM HTTP Server, is installed. The resulting default URLs are, as
follows:
- For System Monitor:
http://hostname:7089/ICSMonitor
- For Failed Event Manager:
http://hostname:7089/FailedEvents
- If you plan to use System Monitor or Failed Event Manager (which are
installed as components of the Administrative Toolset Express), you need to
install a Web browser. The Launchpad cannot automatically install a
supported Web browser, but it can offer instructions for finding installable
versions. See Installing a Web browser for more information.
Complete tables of all required software exist in the section Checking software requirements. If you have previously installed the appropriate
versions of prerequisite products, you might not need to reinstall them
through the Launchpad. Check the configuration instructions for the
specific software.
The IBM Java Development Kit 1.3.1_05 is required for
performing collaboration and mapping development.
- Note:
- A C++ compiler is also required for performing collaboration and mapping
development and its path must be on your PATH system variable. This
compiler is not supplied with the WebSphere Business Integration Server
Express or Express Plus product, but can be obtained at the following Web
site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/.
To install the IBM Java Development Kit 1.3.1_05, do the
following:
- From the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand IBM Java
Development Kit 1.3.1_05.
- Select Install to start the silent installation of IBM Java
Development Kit 1.3.1_05. The Drive Selection screen
appears.
- Important:
- Select the button labeled Install located within the highlighted
area under IBM Java Development Kit 1.3.1_05,
not the button labeled Install Product located at the
bottom of the screen.
- On the Drive Selection screen, indicate on which drive you want to install
the JDK and select OK. Silent installation of the JDK
begins.
- Note:
- The JDK is installed by default on the C:\ drive in the
directory IBM\Java131. You can select a different drive on
which to install the JDK, but not a different directory on it. For
instance, if you specify drive E:\ on the Drive Selection
screen, the JDK is installed into E:\IBM\Java131.
- After silent installation of IBM Java Development Kit
1.3.1_05 completes, verify that its status in the Launchpad
changed from Not Installed to OK.
WebSphere MQ messaging software is required to run the WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express and Express Plus products. Whether both the
server and client or just the client components are needed depends on which
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus components you
plan to install:
- If you intend to install the InterChange Server Express component, you
must install the WebSphere MQ server and client. Installation of the
server and client enables communication between InterChange Server Express and
connectors.
- If you intend to install only the Toolset Express or an adapter, you need
to install only the WebSphere MQ client.
The Launchpad has already determined whether you require the server and
client or just the client and presents one of the following entries on the
Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen:
- If you must install IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06
server and client, you see the entry IBM WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 CSD06.
- If you must install only the IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2
CSD06 client, you see the entry IBM WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 CSD06 Client.
To install the IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 server
and client or client alone, do the following:
- From the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand IBM
WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 or IBM WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 CSD06 Client (whichever appears on your
system).
- Select Install to start the silent installation of IBM
WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06. A dialog appears,
which requests that you insert the appropriate CD into the machine and specify
your CD-ROM drive.
- Important:
- Select the button labeled Install located within the highlighted
area under IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 or
IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 Client,
not the button labeled Install Product located at the
bottom of the screen.
- Insert the CD containing IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2
CSD06 into the machine, specify your CD-ROM drive, and select
OK. The Drive Selection screen appears.
- On the Drive Selection screen, indicate on which drive you want to install
WebSphere MQ and select OK. Silent installation of WebSphere
MQ begins.
- Note:
- WebSphere MQ is installed by default on the C:\ drive in the
directory IBM\WebSphere MQ. You can select a different drive
on which to install WebSphere MQ, but not a different directory on it.
For instance, if you specify drive E:\ on the Drive Selection
screen, WebSphere MQ is installed into E:\IBM\WebSphere
MQ.
- After silent installation of WebSphere MQ completes, verify that its
status in the Launchpad changed from Not Installed to
OK.
- Note:
- WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 software has its own software
and network prerequisites. If these prerequisites are not met, the
silent installation of this product will fail. For more details, see
WebSphere MQ documentation.
If the Launchpad finds a pre-existing installation of WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 without CSD06 applied, it offers to automatically
patch the software. In this case, when you expand the selection
IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 or IBM
WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 Client on the Launchpad
Software Prerequisites screen, you can select Apply CSD06.
Silent installation of the patch executes and the software status in the
Launchpad changes to OK.
- Important:
- After you install WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express
Plus, as detailed in Installing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus using the GUI, you will need to add a listener to the WebSphere MQ
service. Instructions are provided in the section Adding a listener to the WebSphere MQ service.
IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus support
IBM DB2(R) Universal Database(TM) v8.1 Express, IBM DB2 Universal
Database v8.1 Enterprise, FP2 and higher, and Microsoft SQL Server 2000
databases. Before installing or configuring a database, do the
following:
- Ensure that you have administrator privileges to create a new database and
add new users.
- Review the minimum requirements for particular databases in the section Checking minimum database requirements.
- Important:
- Installing and creating a database through the Launchpad creates a user named
smbadmin. By default, the password for the
smbadmin user account can expire as early as two months after it is
created. If you do not want the password to expire, after you have
installed WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus,
navigate from the Windows Control Panel to the properties dialog for the
smbadmin user and select the Password never expires
checkbox.
The Launchpad has already determined whether you require a database, and if
so, whether one is installed and configured appropriately. To obtain
information about the condition of your database requirements, do the
following:
- From the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand the entry
Database. The Database area of the screen explains what the
Launchpad has found on your machine.
- Do one of the following, depending on which software the Launchpad has
found on the machine:
- If no supported database is installed, a button is offered to launch
installation of IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express. In this
case, follow the instructions in the section Installing and configuring a new installation of IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express.
- If IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express or Enterprise is
installed, a button is offered to launch configuration of the existing
installation. In this case, follow the instructions in the section Configuring an existing installation of IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express or Enterprise.
- If Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is installed, a choice is offered of having
the Launchpad configure the existing Microsoft SQL Server 2000 installation,
or to instead install and configure IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1
Express. Do one of the following:
- If IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express or Enterprise
and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 are installed, a choice is offered of
having the Launchpad configure either database. Do one of the
following:
If no supported database is installed on your machine or if you want to
install and configure IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express
regardless of having any other supported databases already installed, follow
the instructions in this section.
Before installing DB2 UDB Express, review the following:
- Ensure that your Windows machine user ID and your Windows domain ID (if
you are using one) are identical. If your Windows machine user ID and
your Windows domain ID are not identical, the DB2 installation process will
fail.
- The installation instructions in this section assume that this is the
first time you are installing DB2 UDB Express on your machine. If you
have previously installed DB2 UDB Express through the Launchpad, uninstalled
it following standard DB2 uninstallation procedures, and are now reinstalling
it through the Launchpad, you must first do the following before you use the
Launchpad to reinstall DB2 UDB Express:
- Manually delete two residual user IDs that the Launchpad automatically
created when it performed the first DB2 UDB Express installation. To
remove these IDs, do the following:
- Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Users and
Passwords.
- On the User and Passwords screen, under the User Name column, select the
db2admin user ID and the smbadmin user ID.
- Click Remove.
- Click Apply and OK to exit the User and Passwords
screen.
- Manually delete copies of the files serverexp,
OptionFile_DB2.txt, or
OptionFile_MSSQL2000.txt that might exist in the directory
specified by %TEMP%.
- Ensure that the directory containing the DB2 aliases (by default, a
subdirectory within the C:\DB2 directory) does not
contain the SMB_DB alias from the previous DB2 installation.
To install IBM DB2 UDB Express, do the following:
- If you have not done so already, on the Launchpad Software Prerequisites
screen, expand the entry Database. The Database area of the
screen explains what the Launchpad has found on your machine.
- Select the button labeled Install IBM DB2 Universal Database
v8.1 Express. A dialog appears, which requests that you
insert the appropriate CD into the machine and specify your CD-ROM
drive.
- Important:
- Select the button labeled Install IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1
Express located within the highlighted area under Database,
not the button labeled Install Product located at the
bottom of the screen.
- Insert the CD containing IBM DB2 UDB Express into the machine, specify
your CD-ROM drive, and select OK. The Drive Selection screen
appears.
- On the Drive Selection screen, indicate on which drive you want to install
the database and select OK. Silent installation of the
database begins. A dialog will notify you when installation and
configuration are complete.
- Note:
- IBM DB2 Express is installed by default on the C:\ drive in
the directory IBM\SQLLIB. You can select a different drive
on which to install the database, but not a different directory on it.
For instance, if you specify drive E:\ on the Drive Selection
screen, the database is installed into E:\IBM\SQLLIB.
- After silent installation of IBM DB2 Express completes, verify that its
status in the Launchpad changed from Not Installed to
OK.
The installation and configuration processes do the following:
- Create a DB2 Administration Server user db2admin with a
password of smbP4$$word.
- Create a database named SMB_DB.
- Create a user named smbadmin with a password of
smbP4$$word.
- Grant the appropriate authorities to the smbadmin user in the
SMB_DB table.
If IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express or Enterprise is
installed and you want to configure it for use with WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express or Express Plus, do the following:
- If you have not done so already, on the Launchpad Software Prerequisites
screen, expand the entry Database. The Database area of the
screen explains what the Launchpad has found on your machine.
- In the area under Database, select the button labeled
Continue.
After IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 is successfully configured,
you will see a message that the database configuration is complete. The
configuration process does the following:
- Creates a database named SMB_DB.
- Creates a user named smbadmin, with a password of
smbP4$$word.
- Grants the appropriate authorities to the smbadmin user in the
SMB_DB table.
- Tip:
- If you are using DB2 Enterprise, it does not restart the database manager
when Windows restarts. Because the database manager is not running, two
problems can occur if Windows restarts during the installation of WebSphere
Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus:
- Repository creation can fail. When repository creation fails
because of this issue, the Installer log includes the following message
line: No start database manager command was issued.
- Startup of InterChange Server Express can fail, because without the DB
manager running, InterChange Server Express cannot connect to
SMB_DB. When this failure occurs, the
InterchangeSystem.log file messages include this line:
No start database manager command was issued.
Both of these problems can be addressed by following these steps:
- Open the DB2 Control Center.
- Expand the All Cataloged Systems folder, then expand the folder
for your host, and then expand the Instances folder.
- In the Instances folder, right-click the DB2 icon
and choose Start. This DB2 message displays:
DB2START processing was successful.
After you have performed these steps, you can create a repository and
successfully start InterChange Server Express.
If Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is installed and you want to configure it for
use with WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus, do the
following:
- If you have not done so already, on the Launchpad Software Prerequisites
screen, expand the entry Database. The Database area of the
screen explains what the Launchpad has found on your machine.
- Select Use Microsoft SQL Server 2000, then select
Continue.
The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Configuration screen appears.
- Type the user name in the User name
field.
- Type the password for the user name specified in Step 3 in the Password field.
- Select Create repository database.
After Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is successfully configured, you will see a
message that the database configuration is complete. The configuration
process does the following:
- Creates a database named SMB_DB.
- Creates a user named smbadmin, with a password of
smbp4$$word.
- Grants the appropriate authorities to the smbadmin user in the
SMB_DB table.
- Note:
- This guide does not provide installation instructions for Microsoft SQL
Server 2000. For a description of the installation process, see the
Microsoft Web site.
This prerequisite is required if you intend to install the Toolset Express
components System Monitor and Failed Event Manager, both of which require a
Web application server with a Servlet engine. If you have already
installed WebSphere Application Server versions 5.0.2 or
5.1, WebSphere Application Server Express versions 5.0.2
or 5.1, or Tomcat versions 4.1.24 or
4.1.27, this prerequisite is sastisfied.
To install IBM WebSphere Application Server Express, do the
following:
- If you have not already done so, from the Launchpad Software Prerequisites
screen, expand IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express
V5.1.

- You will not be prompted to insert the CD labeled WebSphere Application
Server - Express V5.1 Components Disk 2. This CD contains
the WebSphere Studio Site Developer tool. The Launchpad does not
install this optional tool automatically; however, you can install it
manually as a stand-alone product. See Installing the WebSphere Studio Site Developer tool for installation instructions.
- On the Drive Selection screen, indicate on which drive you want to install
WebSphere Application Server Express and select OK. Silent
installation begins.
- Note:
- WebSphere Application Server Express is installed by default on the
C:\ drive in the directory
IBM\WebSphere\Express51. You can select a different drive on
which to install WebSphere Application Server Express, but not a different
directory on it. For instance, if you specify drive
E:\ on the Drive Selection screen, WebSphere Application
Server Express is installed into
E:\IBM\WebSphere\Express51.
- After silent installation of WebSphere Application Server Express
completes, verify that its status in the Launchpad changed from
Optional to OK.
A Web browser is required if you intend to install the Toolset Express
components System Monitor and Failed Event Manager. Supported Web
browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 or later and
Netscape Navigator 4.7x. The Launchpad cannot automatically
install a supported Web browser, but it can offer instructions for finding
supported versions.
If you do not have a supported Web browser installed and want to view these
instructions, on the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand the entry
