If the software prerequisites required for your planned installation each
have a status of OK, you can proceed to installing WebSphere
Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus by doing the
following:
- Select the button labeled Install Product located at the bottom
of the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen. A dialog appears, which
requests that you insert the appropriate CD into the machine.
- Insert the CD containing the Base Components of WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express or Express Plus into the machine and select
OK. (If the Launchpad does not detect the installation
program, an "Open" dialog box is displayed, in which you must select the
location to which the CD is mounted.)
The Software License Agreement screen appears.
Figure 10. Software License Agreement screen

- 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 Destination screen appears.
- Note:
- If you are running the installer in a non-English locale, a button labeled
English appears on the Software License Agreement 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.
Figure 11. Destination screen

- On the Destination screen, accept the default
installation location of
Home_directory/IBM/WebSphereServer (where
Home_directory is the home directory of the user identified on the
previous Select User screen) or browse for a different location, then select
Next.
- Note:
- The directory path must not contain any spaces. Throughout this
document, the installation directory
Home_directory/IBM/WebSphereServer will be referred to as
ProductDir.
One of the following occurs:
- 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:
The installation process has completed the following:
- Installed product components.
- Configured the InterchangeSystem.cfg file used by the
InterChange Server Express.
- Configured a queue manager for WebSphere MQ.
- Added a new system variable called LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to the
/etc/profile file and set its value to
2.4.19.
- Provided platform-specific configuration and registration.
- Deployed content to the InterChange Server Express.
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. The log file called
wbi_server_exp_install_log.txt, which details the
installation process, is located in the ProductDir
directory.
When you are installing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and
Express Plus, you can install all or some subset of product components.
The installable components are selectable from the screens that appear when
you select the Install Product button from the left panel of the
Launchpad or from within the response file used during silent
installation.
The components available for installation are identical on all supported
Linux versions. Support for installed components can differ based on
whether they are being used in production or development environments.
See Table 4 for a listing of which product components are supported on
each of the Linux versions in both production and development
environments.
During installation on a Linux system, you can choose from the following
set of components:
See the System Administration Guide for descriptions of the
InterChange Server Express and Toolset Express components; the individual
adapter guides for descriptions of the adapters. All documentation is
available at the following Web site: http://www.ibm.com/websphere/wbiserverexpress/infocenter.
If you install the Administrative Toolset Express component or adapters in
a different location from the InterChange Server Express component of
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus, the installer
must configure a Name Server. As a result, the installer queries you
for the IP address of the machine that contains or will contain the
InterChange Server Express. The installer obtains this information from
the IP address you type in the Name Server Configuration screen during
installation and uses it for the value of the ORB_HOST property in the
ProductDir/bin/CWSharedEnv.sh file on the local
machine.
After WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus is
installed, you can view the resulting file system and its contents. The
directories are located by default under the
Home_directory/IBM/WebSphereServer directory, which will
be referred to as ProductDir throughout this
document.
- Note:
- The particular files and directories that appear in
ProductDir depend on the components selected during
installation. The files and directories in your installation might
differ from the ones listed below.

After you have installed WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or
Express Plus, you can later install additional components. To do this,
select the Install Product button from the left panel of the
Launchpad. The Launchpad then offers screens from which you can select
components to install, as detailed in Identifying which software prerequisites are required. If you have already installed some components from a
particular screen, the screen appears but the checkboxes beside components
that are already installed are disabled.
- Important:
- The user who installs additional components must be the same user who
installed the product. Problems with permissions can result if the same
user does not perform both tasks.
The Launchpad determines whether additional software prerequisites are
required based on your new selections and leads you through their
installation, as well as installation of the new WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express or Express Plus components.
