The Launchpad has determined which prerequisites are needed for your
system:
- If you plan to use System Monitor or Failed Event Manager (which are
installed as components of the Web-based Tools) you need to install a Web
application server. Launchpad can automatically install WebSphere
Application Server Express v5.1. See Installing WebSphere Application Server Express for more details. Other Web application servers are
supported.
- Note:
- If you want the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus
installer to automatically configure System Monitor and Failed Event Manager
for use with the Express or Express Plus product and with WebSphere
Application Server Express or WebSphere Application Server, you
must have one of the supported versions of WebSphere Application
Server Express or WebSphere Application Server installed prior to running the
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus
installer. Otherwise, you will have to manually configure System
Monitor and Failed Event Manager, as detailed in Manually configuring System Monitor and Failed Event Manager.
The resulting default URLs are, as follows:
- For System Monitor:
http://hostname:xxxx/ICSMonitor;note
that xxxx would represent the HTTP port number requested during the
OS/400 installation.
- For Failed Event Manager:
http://hostname:xxxx/FailedEvents;
note same as stated for System Monitor.
- Every installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and
Express Plus requires installation of WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 CSD06 or a higher CSD level. Launchpad can
automatically install this software. See Installing WebSphere MQ for details.
- For the OS/400 licensed program prerequisites, you will be directed to
install these onto your OS/400. Only WebSphere MQ and WebSphere
Application Server Express licensed programs for OS/400 can be automatically
installed using Launchpad. The CDs for these licensed programs are
shipped with the OS/400 operating system CDs and need to be installed on the
OS/400 using the install instructions for those licensed programs.
- If you plan to install the Integrated Test Environment, it will be
necessary to install a Windows database. Integrated Test Environment is
a development tool used to test components on a Windows InterChange Server
Express system before deploying to InterChange Server Express for the
OS/400.
- If you plan to perform collaboration and mapping development, you need to
have the IBM Java Development Kit 1.3.1_05 prerequisite
installed on your Windows system. Launchpad can automatically install
this software. See Installing the Java Development Kit for details.
- If you plan to use System Monitor or Failed Event Manager (which are
installed as components of the Web-based Tools), you need to install a Web
browser. Launchpad cannot automatically install a supported Web
browser, but it offers instructions for finding installable versions.
See Installing a Web browser for more information.
Complete tables of all required software exist in the section Checking software requirements. If you have previously installed the appropriate
versions of prerequisite products, you might not need to reinstall them
through the Launchpad. Check the configuration instructions for the
specific software.

There are some OS/400 Licensed Program Products that are not shipped with
the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus
products. These are: Java Development Kit 1.3, Java
Development Kit 1.4, Toolbox for Java, QShell Interpreter, HTTP Server
for OS/400, and Crypto Access Provider. If your OS/400 system does not
have these installed, the Launchpad prompts you to locate the CDs for them
(they are shipped with OS/400) and install them on your OS/400. This
section describes how to install the Java Development Kit 1.3, but the
same dialog appears for the other programs as well.
A Java Development Kit (version 1.3) is required to run the
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus
products.
To install the Java Development Kit Version 1.3, do the
following:
- From the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand Java
Development Kit V1.3.
- The Launchpad prompts you to install Licensed Program Java Development Kit
1.3 (5722JV1 option 5) on your OS/400. Use the OS/400 CD drive
and the CDs you received with your release of OS/400 to install the Java
Development Kit.
- After you complete installation of Java Development Kit 1.3, select
the Check Again button to verify that its status in the Launchpad
changed from Not Installed to OK.
This prerequisite is required if you intend to install the Toolset Express
components System Monitor and Failed Event Manager, both of which require a
Web application server with a Servlet engine. If you have already
installed WebSphere Application Server versions 5.0.2 or
5.1, this prerequisite is satisfied.
To install IBM WebSphere Application Server Express, do the
following:
- From the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand IBM
WebSphere Application Server - Express V5.1.
- Select Install to start the silent installation.
- Important:
- Select the button labeled Install located within the highlighted
area under IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express V5.1,
not the button labeled Install Product located at the
bottom of the screen.
- After silent installation of WebSphere Application Server Express
completes, verify that its status in the Launchpad changed from Not
Installed to OK.
WebSphere MQ messaging software is required to run the WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express and Express Plus products.
- If you intend to install the InterChange Server Express component, you
must install the WebSphere MQ on your OS/400.
- If you intend to install Toolset Express but choose not to install the
ITE, you only need to install WebSphere MQ Client on Windows. If you do
not install any of the Toolset Express, you do not need to install any
WebSphere MQ on Windows. If you choose the ITE, you will need WebSphere
MQ Client and Server on Windows.
The Launchpad has already determined whether you require the server and
client or just the client and presents one of the following entries on the
Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen:
- If you must install IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06
server on your OS/400 system, you see the entry IBM WebSphere MQ
5.3 Server with CSD06 or later in the OS/400 Prerequisites
list.
- If you must install IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06
server and client on your client system, you see the entry IBM WebSphere
MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 in the Client Prerequisites
list.
- If you must install only the IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2
CSD06 client on your client system, you see the entry IBM WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 CSD06 Client in the Client Prerequisites
list.
To install the IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3 Server on your OS/400 system, do
the following:
- From the Launchpad Software OS/400 Prerequisites screen, expand IBM
WebSphere MQ 5.3 Server with CSD06 or later.
- Select Install to start the silent installation of IBM
WebSphere MQ 5.3 Server.
- Important:
- Select the button labeled Install located within the highlighted
area under IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3 Server with CSD06 or later,
not the button labeled Install Product located at the
bottom of the screen.
- After silent installation of WebSphere MQ Server completes, verify that
its status in the Launchpad changed from Not Installed to
OK.
- Note:
- If WebSphere MQ Server is already installed but the installation program does
not detect CSD06 or later, then the installation program prompts you to apply
the CSD and provides a link to more information. The Launchpad does not
automatically apply CSD06 for you.
- Note:
- If Launchpad detects an older WebSphere MQ Server installation on your OS/400
system, it displays an error and provides a link to more information.
To install the IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 server
and client or client alone on your Windows system, do the following:
- From the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand IBM
WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 or IBM WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 CSD06 Client (whichever appears on your
system).
- Select Install to start the silent installation of IBM
WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06. The Drive Selection
screen appears.
- Important:
- Select the button labeled Install located within the highlighted
area under IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 or
IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 Client,
not the button labeled Install Product located at the
bottom of the screen.
- On the Drive Selection screen, indicate on which drive you want to install
WebSphere MQ and select OK. Silent installation of WebSphere
MQ begins.
- Note:
- WebSphere MQ is installed by default on the C:\ drive in the
directory IBM\WebSphere MQ. You can select a different drive
on which to install WebSphere MQ, but not a different directory on it.
For instance, if you specify drive E:\ on the Drive Selection
screen, WebSphere MQ is installed into E:\IBM\WebSphere
MQ.
- After silent installation of WebSphere MQ completes, verify that its
status in the Launchpad changed from Not Installed to
OK.
- Note:
- WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06 software has its own software
and network prerequisites. If these prerequisites are not met, the
silent installation of this product will fail. For more details, see
WebSphere MQ documentation.
If the Launchpad finds a pre-existing installation of WebSphere MQ
5.3.0.2 without CSD06 applied on your Windows system, it
offers to automatically patch the software. In this case, when you
expand the selection IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2
CSD06 or IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 CSD06
Client on the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, you can select
Apply CSD06. Silent installation of the patch executes and
the software status in the Launchpad changes to OK.
If the Integrated Test Environment is being installed, it will be necessary
to install a database on the Windows system. IBM WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express and Express Plus support IBM DB2(R) Universal
Database (TM) v8.1 Express, IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1
Enterprise, and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases. Before installing
or configuring a database, do the following:
- Ensure that you have administrator privileges to create a new database and
add new users.
- Review the minimum requirements for particular databases in the section Checking minimum database requirements.
The Launchpad has already determined whether you require a database, and if
so, whether one is installed and configured appropriately. To obtain
information about the condition of your database requirements, do the
following:
- On the Software Prerequisites screen, expand the entry
Database. The Database area of the screen explains what the
Launchpad has found on your machine.
- Do one of the following, depending on which software the Launchpad has
found on the machine:
- If no supported database is installed, a button is offered to launch
installation of IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express. In this
case, follow the instructions in the section Installing and configuring a new installation of IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express.
- If IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express or Enterprise is
installed, a button is offered to launch configuration of the existing
installation. In this case, follow the instructions in the section Configuring an existing installation of IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express or Enterprise.
- If Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is installed, a choice is offered of having
the Launchpad configure the existing Microsoft SQL Server 2000 installation,
or to instead install and configure IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1
Express. Do one of the following:
- If IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express or Enterprise
and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 are installed, a choice is offered of
having the Launchpad configure either database. Do one of the
following:
If no supported database is installed on your machine or if you want to
install and configure IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express
regardless of having any other supported databases already installed, follow
the instructions in this section.
Before installing DB2 UDB Express, review the following:
- Ensure that your Windows machine user ID and your Windows domain ID (if
you are using one) are identical. If your Windows machine user ID and
your Windows domain ID are not identical, the DB2 installation process will
fail.
- The installation instructions in this section assume that this is the
first time you are installing DB2 UDB Express on your machine. If you
have previously installed DB2 UDB Express through the Launchpad, uninstalled
it following standard DB2 uninstallation procedures, and are now reinstalling
it through the Launchpad, you must first do the following before you use the
Launchpad to reinstall DB2 UDB Express:
- Manually delete two residual user IDs that the Launchpad automatically
created when it performed the first DB2 UDB Express installation. To
remove these IDs, do the following:
- Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Users and
Passwords.
- On the User and Passwords screen, under the User Name column, select the
db2admin user ID and the smbadmin user ID.
- Click Remove.
- Click Apply and OK to exit the User and Passwords
screen.
- Manually delete copies of the files serverexp,
OptionFile_DB2.txt, or
OptionFile_MSSQL2000.txt that might exist in the directory
specified by %TEMP%.
- Ensure that the directory containing the DB2 aliases (by default, a
subdirectory within the DB2 directory) does not contain the SMB_DB alias from
the previous DB2 installation.
To install IBM DB2 UDB Express, do the following:
- If you have not done so already, on the Software Prerequisites screen,
expand the entry Database. The Database area of the screen
explains what the Launchpad has found on your machine.
- Select the button labeled Install IBM DB2 Universal Database
v8.1 Express. The Drive Selection screen appears.
- Important:
- Select the button labeled Install IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1
Express located within the highlighted area under Database,
not the button labeled Install Product located at the
bottom of the screen.
- On the Drive Selection screen, indicate on which drive you want to install
the database and select OK. Silent installation of the
database begins. A dialog will notify you when installation and
configuration are complete.
- Note:
- IBM DB2 Express is installed by default on the C:\ drive in
the directory Program Files\IBM\DB2. You can select a
different drive on which to install the database, but not a different
directory on it. For instance, if you specify drive
E:\ on the Drive Selection screen, the database is installed
into E:\Program Files\IBM\DB2.
- After silent installation of IBM DB2 Express completes, verify that its
status in the Launchpad changed from Not Installed to
OK.
The installation and configuration processes do the following:
- Create a DB2 Administration Server user db2admin with a
password of smbP4$$word.
- Create a database named SMB_DB.
- Create a user named smbadmin with a password of
smbP4$$word.
- Grant the appropriate authorities to the smbadmin user in the
SMB_DB database.
If IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 Express or Enterprise is
installed and you want to configure it for use with WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express or Express Plus, do the following:
- If you have not done so already, on the Software Prerequisites screen,
expand the entry Database. The Database area of the screen
explains what the Launchpad has found on your machine.
- In the area under Database, select the button labeled
Continue.
After IBM DB2 Universal Database v8.1 is successfully configured,
you will see a message that the database configuration is complete. The
configuration process does the following:
- Creates a database named SMB_DB.
- Creates a user named smbadmin, with a password of
smbP4$$word.
- Grants the appropriate authorities to the smbadmin user in the
SMB_DB table.
- Note:
- If you are using DB2 Enterprise, it does not restart the database manager
when Windows restarts. Because the database manager is not running, two
problems can occur if Windows restarts during the installation of WebSphere
Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus:
- Repository creation can fail. When repository creation fails
because of this issue, the Installer log includes the following message
line: No start database manager command was issued.
- Startup of InterChange Server Express can fail, because without the DB
manager running, InterChange Server Express cannot connect to SMB_DB.
When this failure occurs, the InterchangeSystem.log file messages
include this line: No start database manager command was issued.
Both of these problems can be addressed by following these steps:
- Open the DB2 Control Center.
- Expand the All Cataloged Systems folder, then expand the folder for your
host, and then expand the Instances folder.
- In the Instances folder, right-click the DB2 icon and choose
Start. This DB2 message displays: DB2START
processing was successful.
After you have performed these steps, you can create a repository and
successfully start InterChange Server Express.
If Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is installed and you want to configure it for
use with WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus, do the
following:
- If you have not done so already, on the Software Prerequisites screen,
expand the entry Database. The Database area of the screen
explains what the Launchpad has found on your machine.
- Select Use Microsoft SQL Server 2000, then select
Continue.
The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Configuration screen appears.
- Type the user name in the User name field.
- Type the password for the user name specified in step 2 in the
Password field.
- Select Create repository database.
After Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is successfully configured, you will see a
message that the database configuration is complete. The configuration
process does the following:
- Creates a database named SMB_DB.
- Creates a user named smbadmin, with a password of
smbp4$$word.
- Grants the appropriate authorities to the smbadmin user in the
SMB_DB table.
- Note:
- This guide does not provide installation instructions for Microsoft SQL
Server 2000. For a description of the installation process, see the
Microsoft Web site.
The IBM Java Development Kit 1.3.1_05 is required for
performing collaboration and mapping development.
- Note:
- A C++ compiler is also required for performing collaboration and mapping
development and its path must be on your PATH system variable. This
compiler is not supplied with the WebSphere Business Integration Server
Express or Express Plus product, but can be obtained at the following Web
site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/.
To install the IBM Java Development Kit 1.3.1_05, do the
following:
- From the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand IBM Java
Development Kit 1.3.1_05.
- Select Install to start the silent installation of IBM Java
Development Kit 1.3.1_05. The Drive Selection screen
appears.

area under IBM Java Development Kit 1.3.1_05,
not the button labeled Install Product located at the
bottom of the screen.
- On the Drive Selection screen, indicate on which drive you want to install
the JDK and select OK. Silent installation of the JDK
begins.
- Note:
- The JDK is installed by default on the C:\ drive in the
directory Program Files\IBM\Java131. You can select a
different drive on which to install the JDK, but not a different directory on
it. For instance, if you specify drive E:\ on the
Drive Selection screen, the JDK is installed into E:\Program
Files\IBM\Java131.
- After silent installation of IBM Java Development Kit
1.3.1_05 completes, verify that its status in the Launchpad
changed from Not Installed to OK.
A Web browser is required if you intend to install the Toolset Express
components System Monitor and Failed Event Manager. Supported Web
browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 or later and
Netscape Navigator 4.7x. The Launchpad cannot automatically
install a supported Web browser, but it can offer instructions for finding
supported versions.
If you do not have a supported Web browser installed and want to view these
instructions, on the Launchpad Software Prerequisites screen, expand the entry
Web Browser. The screen indicates the Web sites from which you can
obtain Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 and Netscape Navigator
4.7x.
The following example Software Prerequisites screen from the Launchpad for
the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus product shows the
results when the Launchpad finds all needed prerequisites installed.
