Installing the Collaboration Capacity Pack using the GUI

To successfully install the Collaboration Capacity Pack, you and your system must meet the following prerequisites:

The Collaboration Capacity Pack installation GUI installs the selected collaboration group and deploys the installed content to the InterChange Server Express.

To invoke the Launchpad to launch this installation GUI, do the following:

  1. Select the button labeled Install Capacity Pack from the Launchpad.

    The Install Capacity Pack screen appears with two buttons.

  2. Select Install Collaboration Capacity Pack. A dialog appears, which requests that you insert the appropriate CD into the machine.
  3. Insert the appropriate CD into the machine and select OK. (If the Launchpad does not detect the installation program, an "Open" dialog box is displayed, in which you must select the location to which the CD is mounted.) The GUI launches to install the Collaboration Capacity Pack. The Launchpad first checks if the InterChange Server Express component of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus is installed on the local machine. It then acts, as follows:
  4. At the Welcome screen, select Next.

    The Software License Agreement screen appears.

  5. Read and accept the terms of the Software License Agreement by selecting the radio button beside the entry I accept the terms in the license agreement, then selecting Next.

    The installer checks that the prerequisites listed at the beginning of this section have been met. If any have not been met, it forces you to cancel the installation by selecting the Cancel button. If all prerequisites have been met, the Feature screen appears.

    Note:
    If you are running the installer in a non-English locale, a button labeled English appears on the Software License Agreement screen. Select this button to view the software license agreement in English. The text of the button then changes to the non-English language used for the installer. Select the button again to display the software license agreement in the non-English language used for the installer.
  6. On the Feature screen, select one collaboration group from the list of available collaboration groups, by selecting the radio button beside its name, then select Next. For more information on the collaboration groups selectable from this screen, see Deciding which collaboration group to install.

    The Pre-installation Summary screen appears.

  7. On the Pre-installation Summary screen, review your selection and installation location and select Next.

  8. On the Post-installation Summary screen, select Finish to exit the installation GUI.
