The WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus system
can determine the prerequisite software needed for your installation based on
the components you plan to install. The Launchpad checks if necessary
prerequisite software is installed on your machine. If certain items
are not installed, it can install them.
The Launchpad then launches the GUI installer that leads you through
installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express
Plus. A second GUI is available to uninstall the products.
Silent installation and uninstallation are also possible.
The installation instructions throughout the sections in this chapter
assume the following:
- WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus
v4.3.1 is not already installed on your
machine. If you have installed WebSphere Business Integration Server
Express v4.3.1 and want to upgrade to WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express Plus v4.3.1, see Upgrading the system for instructions.
- Components will be installed on a machine running a supported Linux
version in a production environment. See Table 4 for a listing of which product components are supported on
each of the Linux versions in a production environment. No components
are supported on any Linux version in development environments.
- Components that are not supported on the Linux platform but are needed to
administer the InterChange Server Express (such as the System Manager tool,
which is only part of the Toolset Express for Windows), will be installed and
reachable on a remote Windows machine by following the installation and
configuration instructions in the WebSphere Business Integration Server
Express Installation Guide for Windows.
- Installation is of a WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus
system. Installation of a WebSphere Business Integration Server Express
system might show slightly different screens.
- You have reviewed and understand the information in Starting and stopping the Launchpad and viewing the Quick Start Guide and have started the Launchpad.
This chapter contains the following sections:
See Appendix B, Silently installing and uninstalling WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus and Capacity Packs for instructions on performing silent installation and
