After the system is in a quiescent state and backed up, you can safely
start the upgrade procedure. The Launchpad provides a way to launch the
GUI installer that leads you through upgrading WebSphere Business Integration
Server Express v4.3.1 to Express Plus
v4.3.1. The GUI does the following:
- Installs WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus product
components.
- Installs any new adapters you select.
- Does not drop your existing database.
- Retains your existing repository and does not redeploy it.
- When run on the remote Windows machine containing the Toolset Express
tools used to administer the InterChange Server Express, adds Process Designer
Express to the Toolset Express on that machine.
To invoke the Launchpad to launch the GUI, do the following:
- Select the button labeled Install Product in the left column of
the Launchpad.
The Upgrade Product screen appears.
- On the Upgrade Product screen, select Next.
The Select User screen appears.
- On the Select User screen, type the name of the user who will install
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus, and then select
Next. The Install Server screen appears.
- Important:
- The upgrade must be performed by the same user who owns the home directory in
which the existing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express V4.3
system is installed.
- On the Install Server screen, do one of the following:
- On the Install Tools screen, do one of the following:
- If you have the version 4.3.1 Toolset Express Administrative
tools installed, the checkbox beside the entry Administrative tools
is selected and disabled. Select Next.
- If you do not have the version 4.3.1 Toolset
Express Administrative tools installed, the checkbox beside the entry
Administrative tools is selected and enabled. You can
proceed in one of two ways:
- Leave the checkbox selected to install the version 4.3.1
Administrative tools during the upgrade of other installed components.
- Unselect the checkbox to keep the version 4.3.1
Administrative tools from being installed.
Select Next.
The Install Adapters screen appears.
- On the Install Adapters screen, if you have version 4.3.1
adapters installed, the checkbox beside each installed adapter is selected and
disabled. In addition, if you have not already installed the Adapter
for JText, it is selected by default because it is required to run the System
Test sample. (The System Test sample is part of the Samples component,
which can be selected from the Install Samples screen, described in Step 7.) Do one of the following:
- If you do not want to install any other adapters than the ones you have
already installed, unselect the checkbox beside the Adapter for JText if
necessary and select Next.
- If you want to install only the Adapter for JText in addition to the other
adapters you have already installed, leave the checkbox beside the Adapter for
JText selected and select Next.
- If you want to install other adapters in addition to the Adapter for JText
and the ones you have already installed, leave the checkbox beside the Adapter
for JText selected, and select the checkboxes beside the other adapters you
want to add. Alternatively, select the checkbox beside the entry
Select all Adapters to install all of the adapters you have not
already installed. Then select Next.
The Install Samples screen appears.
- Important:
- You can install as many adapters as you want. However, a maximum of
five can be registered with the InterChange Server Express when you
are installing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus.
- On the Install Samples screen, do one of the
following:
- If you have the version 4.3.1 Samples component installed,
the checkbox beside the entry Samples is selected and
disabled. Select Next.
- If you do not have the version 4.3.1 Samples
component installed, the checkbox beside the entry Samples is
checked and enabled. You can proceed in one of two ways:
- Leave the entry selected to install the version 4.3.1
Samples component during the upgrade of other installed components.
- Unselect the checkbox to keep the version 4.3.1 Samples
component from being installed.
Select Next.
- Note:
- The Samples component requires installation of the InterChange Server
Express, the Toolset Express, and the JText Adapter. Therefore, when
you elect to install the Samples component, the InterChange Server Express,
the Toolset Express, and the JText Adapter are installed as well, regardless
of whether you elected to install them in previous screens.
The Software Prerequisites screen appears.
- On the Software Prerequisites screen, the installer informs you of any
required prerequisites. Do one of the following:
- Select the button labeled Install Product
located at the bottom of the Software Prerequisites screen.
The Software License Agreement screen appears.
- 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 select Next.
- Note:
- If you are running the installer in a non-English locale, a button labeled
English appears on this 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.
One of the following occurs:
- If the InterChange Server Express component is already installed and will
be upgraded or you are installing the InterChange Server Express component
during the upgrade, the installer checks that appropriate prerequisites exist
and are configured properly and that two or fewer processors exist on the
machine on which the InterChange Server Express component is to be upgraded or
installed.
- If the prerequisite conditions are not met, an error message is displayed
and you are forced to cancel the installation.
- If the prerequisite conditions are met, product installation
begins. In this case, continue with these instructions at Step 12.
- If the InterChange Server Express component is not already installed and
will not be installed during the upgrade, the Name Server Configuration screen
appears. In this case, continue with these instructions at Step 11.
- On the Name Server Configuration screen, type the IP address
of the computer on which you have installed or plan to install the InterChange
Server Express component, and then select Next to begin the
installation process. See the section Configuring the Name Server for more information about the Name Server.
- As the installation process begins, the installer
verifies that enough disk space exists for the installation:
- If enough space does not exist, the Next button is disabled
since installation cannot be completed with the provided disk space. In
this case, you must select Back and unselect some features or
sub-features or delete some unneeded space on the specified file
system.
- If enough space does exist, installation and configuration begin. A
number of informational screens are presented. When installation and
configuration are complete, the Post-installation Summary screen appears,
which indicates if the process was successful or if problems were
encountered. Select Finish to exit the GUI.
