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 and configures them as services.
- Installs any new adapters you select and configures them as
services.
- Does not drop your existing database.
- Retains your existing repository and does not redeploy it.
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 Install Server screen appears.
- 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
and Development tools installed, the checkboxes beside the entries
Administrative Tools and Development Tools are selected
and disabled. Select Next.
- If you have the version 4.3.1 Toolset Express Administrative
tools alone installed, the checkbox beside the entry Administrative
Tools is selected and disabled and the checkbox beside the entry
Development Tools is selected and enabled. You can proceed
in one of two ways:
- Leave the entry beside Development Tools selected to install
the version 4.3.1 Development tools during the upgrade of other
installed components.
- Unselect the checkbox to keep the version 4.3.1 Development
tools from being installed.
Select Next.
- Note:
- You cannot install only the Development tools. They require that
Administrative tools also be installed.
- If you do not have the version 4.3.1 Toolset
Express Administrative and Development tools installed, the checkboxes beside
the entries Administrative Tools and Development Tools
are selected and enabled. You can proceed in one of three ways:
- Leave both checkboxes selected to install the version 4.3.1
Administrative and Development tools during the upgrade of other installed
components.
- Leave the checkbox beside the entry Administrative Tools
selected and unselect the checkbox beside the entry Development
Tools to install the version 4.3.1 Administrative tools
only.
- Note:
- You cannot install only the Development tools. They require that
Administrative tools also be installed.
- Unselect both checkboxes to keep the version 4.3.1
Administrative and Development tools from being installed.
- Tip:
- Unselect the checkbox beside Development Tools first. This
action enables the checkbox beside Administrative Tools, so you can
then unselect it.
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 6.) 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, select the checkboxes beside the other adapters you want
to add, and 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.
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 11.
- 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 10.
- 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 drive.
- 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.
