Starting the upgrade process

After the system is in a quiescent state and backed up, you can safely start the upgrade procedure. Upgrading the system involves the following tasks:

Installing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.3.1

After you have backed up your installation, you are ready to install WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.3.1. The Launchpad upgrades the Windows installation, OS/400 installation, or both. It determines which one needs to be upgraded and launches the Windows and OS/400 installation programs to accomplish the upgrade.

The Launchpad either does or determines the following:

Each of the three major components has a separate installation program.

To start any of the installation programs:

  1. Click Install Product at the bottom of the Software Prerequisites screen.

    The Software License Agreement screen appears.

  2. 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, and then click Next.

Refer to the following sections for instructions on how to finish the upgrade or installation process for each of the components:

Note:
Depending on the options you selected during the first part of the upgrade, you may encounter screens that are not mentioned in this guide. Each screen clearly requests information. Follow the instructions on each screen.

Installing the Console

If the Console feature is not already installed on your system and you selected it for installation during this upgrade, then the first installation program that launches after you complete installation of the software prerequisites is the Console installation program. If you did not choose to install the Console feature from the Launchpad, skip to the next subsection, Installing the WebSphere InterChange Server on the OS/400.

To install the Console:

  1. In the Destination screen that appears after you have accepted the Software License Agreement, accept the default installation location of C:\IBM\WebSphereBusinessIntegrationConsole or browse for a different location, and then click Next.
    Note:
    The directory path must not contain any spaces.

    After you click Next, there are no additional input screens. The installation finishes and a Summary Information screen appears.

  2. Click Finish.

If you chose to install the WebSphere InterChange Server for OS/400, then the server installation program will launch. Refer to the next section, Installing the WebSphere InterChange Server on the OS/400 for detailed installation instructions.

If you did not choose to install the WebSphere InterChange Server for OS/400, but you chose to install the Administrative Tools or Development Tools, then the Tools installation program will launch to install the tools on your Windows client system. Refer to Installing the Toolset on Windows for detailed installation instructions.

If you did not choose to install the WebSphere InterChange Server for OS/400 or the Administrative or Development Tools, you are finished.

Installing the WebSphere InterChange Server on the OS/400

If you chose to upgrade or install the WebSphere InterChange Server on the OS/400, the Server installation program launches after the Console installation program completes installation of the Console.

If you did not choose to upgrade or install the Console, the Server installation is the first installation program that launches after you click Install Product at the bottom of the Software Prerequisites screen.

If you did not choose to upgrade or install WebSphere InterChange Server on your OS/400 from the Launchpad, skip to the next subsection, Installing the Toolset on Windows.

To install WebSphere InterChange Server on the OS/400:

  1. In the screen that appears if you selected to install the System Monitor or Failed Event Manager Web-based Tools, provide the following port information for the WebSphere Application Server that is configured to run the tools, and then click Next:

    Check with your network administrator for available ports.

    If you did not choose to install the System Monitor or Failed Event Manager Web-based Tools, no input is required.

    The installation program installs the WebSphere InterChange Server on the OS/400.

  2. When the installation is complete, click Finish.

If you chose to upgrade or install the Administrative Tools or Development Tools, then the Windows installation program for Tools launches to install the tools on your Windows client system. Continue to Installing the Toolset on Windows for detailed installation instructions.

If you did not choose to install the Administrative or Development Tools, you are finished.

Installing the Toolset on Windows

If you chose to upgrade or install the Administrative Tools or the Development Tools fromthe Launchpad, the Windows installation program for Tools launches.

If you did not choose to install the Console or the WebSphere InterChange Server on the OS/400, then the Toolset installation is the first installation program that launches after you click Install Product at the bottom of the Software Prerequisites screen. Otherwise this installation program launches after the Console and the Server installation programs.

To install the Toolset on your Windows client:

  1. In the Destination screen, accept the default installation location of c:\IBM\WebSphereServer or browse for a different location, and then click Next.
    Note:
    The directory path must not contain any spaces.

    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 clear some features or sub-features or delete some unneeded space on the specified drive, or change the target location by changing the path in the Directory field in the Destination screen.

    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.

  2. When the installation is complete, click Finish.

Installation Summary

The installation process has completed the following tasks, depending on the features you chose in the Launchpad:

At this point, you can view the files and directory structure of your system, as detailed in Viewing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus files and directories.

There are two log files containing information about the install process for the OS/400 installation:

Starting the new upgraded version

After the installation completes, you can start the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus system using your existing version of the repository by doing the following:

  1. Start InterChange Server Express.

    For instructions on how to start InterChange Server Express, refer to Starting WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus.

You can check the InterChangeSystem.txt file in the /QIBM/UserData/WBIServer43/QWBIDFT directory for the default instance.

Note:
If InterChange Server Express fails to start up after you upgrade the system, review this upgrade procedure to be sure you followed all the instructions. If the cause of the failure is still unknown, consult IBM technical support for assistance before attempting adjustments or restoring from backup.
