Installing required software prerequisites and WebSphere
Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus
The WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express
Plus system can determine the prerequisite software needed for your
installation based on the components you plan to install. If certain
items are not installed, it can install them.
The Launchpad offers two installation options: Typical and Custom.
The Typical installation automatically installs the following
components:
- InterChange Server Express
- JText adapter
- Samples
- Toolset Express
For more information on these components refer to Components available for installation.
The Typical installation also automatically detects whether you
have the required prerequisite components and can install many of
them for you.
The Custom installation allows you to choose which components
to install. It, like the Typical installation, also detects whether
the prerequisites are installed and can install them for you. See
the section Deciding which components to install (Custom installation
only) for descriptions
of available components. For further information on the Custom installation,
see the section Custom installation.
For more information on the Typical installation option, see
the section Typical
installation.
The installation instructions throughout this chapter assume
the following:
- The Host Servers are started on the OS/400 or i5/OS system
(use the STRHOSTSVR CL command with parameter SERVER(*ALL)). They must be started for the installation to be successful.
- WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus
version 4.4 is not already installed on
your machine. If you have a previous version of the product or capacity
packs installed and want to upgrade them to version 4.4, or have installed
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express V4.4 and want to upgrade
to WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus V4.4, see Upgrading WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and
Express Plus for instructions.
- Server Express components will be installed on either Version
5 Release 2 of OS/400 or Version 5 Release 3 of i5/OS. The Tools
Express components will be installed on the machine running the
Windows XP or Windows 2003 operating system. See http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbiserverexpress/ for a listing of which product components are supported
on each of the Windows platforms in both production and development
environments.
- Installation is of a WebSphere Business Integration Server Express
Plus system. Installation of a WebSphere Business Integration Server
Express system might show slightly different screens.
- You have reviewed and understand the information in Starting the Launchpad and have started the Launchpad.
