The installation GUI supplied with the Adapter Capacity Pack installs and
registers with the InterChange Server Express up to three adapters, which are
selectable from the list in the section Deciding which adapter to install. The installer installs and registers only one
adapter at a time (thus, you must run the Adapter Capacity Pack installer
separately for each adapter you want to install).
The installation GUI does the following:
- Installs the selected adapter.
To successfully install an adapter
supplied in the Adapter Capacity Pack, you and your system must meet the
following prerequisites:
- For OS/400, the user profile needs to have *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special
authority.
- WebSphere Business Integration Server Express must not be installed on the
same machine on which you are installing the adapter. (Adapters
supplied with Adapter Capacity Packs can be used only with an existing
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus installation.)
- In order for the adapter license to be registered successfully,
InterChange Server Express must be running and, if installed on a remote
machine, running and reachable.
- If the adapter will not be installed on the same machine as InterChange
Server Express, an installation of WebSphere MQ 5.3 CSD6 must exist on
the same machine on which the adapter will be installed.
To invoke the Launchpad to launch the installation GUI, do the
following:
- Select the button labeled Install Capacity Pack from the
Launchpad. The Install Capacity Pack screen appears with two
buttons.
- Select Install Adapter Capacity Pack to launch the GUI to
install the Adapter Capacity Pack. The Welcome screen appears.
- At the Welcome screen, select Next.. 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.
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, installation proceeds, as follows:
- If the installer found an installation of WebSphere Business Integration
Server Express Plus on the local OS/400 machine, the InterChange Server
Express Password screen appears. It contains fields for InterChange
Server Instance Name, password for the Administrator to connect to the
InterChange Server Express, and the ORB Port Number.
- If the installer did not find an installation of WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express Plus on the local OS/400 machine, the InterChange
Server Express Password screen appears. It contains fields for the
system name where the InterChange Server is running, the InterChange Server
Instance Name, the password for the Administrator to connect to the
InterChange Server Express, and the ORB Port Number.
- The Feature screen appears. On the Feature screen,
select one adapter from the list of available adapters, by selecting the radio
button beside its name, then select Next. For more
information about which adapter to select, see the section Deciding which adapter to install.
- The Pre-installation Summary screen appears. On the
Pre-installation Summary screen, review your selection and installation
location and select Next.
The installer verifies that enough disk space exists for the
installation. Installation then proceeds, as follows:
- 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 delete some unneeded space on
the specified drive.
- If enough space does exist, installation and configuration begin.
When installation and configuration are complete, the installer attempts to
connect to the server to register the license for this adapter. A
message dialog informs you if license registration succeeded or failed.
Select OK to exit this dialog. The Post-installation Summary
screen appears, which indicates if the process was successful or if problems
were encountered.
- On the Post-installation Summary screen, select
Finish.
During the installation process, the Adapter Capacity Pack installer
creates an installation
log file called
/QIBM/ProdData/WBIServer43/AdapterCapacityPack/install.log.
Running the Adapter Capacity Pack installer allows you to choose one
adapter component from the following:
- Adapter for JD Edwards OneWorld
- Adapter for mySAP.com
- Adapter for Oracle Applications
- Adapter for Telcordia
- Adapter for WebSphere Commerce
- Note:
- Some adapters have corresponding Object Discovery Agents (ODAs), which are
installed if those adapters are selected. With any adapter selection,
the following components are also installed:
- e-Mail Adapter
- XML Data Handler
- Adapter Framework
For descriptions of individual adapters, see the Adapter documentation at
the following Web site: http://www.ibm.com/websphere/wbiserverexpress/infocenter.
The Adapter Capacity Pack installer and uninstaller update the adapter
license file in the InterChange Server Express component of WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express Plus any time an adapter is installed or
uninstalled. In this way, the license file is always current. Up
to three adapters can be registered with the InterChange Server
Express.
The installer and uninstaller obtain the connection password of the
InterChange Server Express from the InterChange Server Express Password screen
during the installation and uninstallation processes. Near the end of
the installation and uninstallation processes, a message dialog informs you
whether the adapter was registered or unregistered successfully.
Another informs you if the number of registered adapters has reached the
maximum limit.
