WebSphere Business Integration Server Express can be installed on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003. There are, however, some
important distinctions between these versions of Windows in regard to product
component support and Windows menu selections.
Important Windows platform information
- The instructions provided in this document are based on a Windows 2000
installation of IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express.
- If you are running IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express on a
Windows XP machine, some of the startup and other menu selections may be
slightly different than the selections used in these instructions.
Please take these minor differences into consideration when following the
instructions provided in this document to validate your system after
installing the Windows edition of the IBM(R) WebSphere(R)
Business Integration Server Express V4.3.1 product.
- The IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express tools are
not supported on Windows 2003 with the following two exceptions:
Failed Event Manager and System Monitor. Since only InterChange Server
Express, the adapters (in production mode only), Failed Event Manager, and
System Monitor are supported, you must run System Manager on a dedicated
Windows 2000 or Windows XP machine.
