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
- Toolset Express
- JText adapter
- Samples
The Typical installation also automatically detects whether you
have the required prerequisite components and can install most 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:
- 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 the system for instructions.
- Components will be installed on a machine running
the Windows 2003 operating system in a production environment. When the installer is run on a Windows XP system, some screens will not appear and others will show differing selections. 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.
