Upgrading
from WebSphere Business Integration Server Express V4.3.1 to Express
V4.4
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 WebSphere
Business Integration Server Express V4.4. The GUI does the following:
- Installs WebSphere Business Integration Server Express V4.4
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.
- Any role-based access security roles that you
set up previously for Failed Event Manager are not retained (you
can create new role-based access security roles, as described in
the System Implementation Guide).
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:
- If you have the version 4.3.1 InterChange Server Express component
installed, the check box beside the entry InterChange Server Express is
selected and disabled. Select Next.
- If you do not have the version 4.3.1
InterChange Server Express component installed, the check box beside
the entry InterChange Server Express is selected
and enabled. You can proceed in one of two ways:
- Leave the entry selected to install the version 4.4 InterChange
Server Express component during the upgrade of other installed components.
- Unselect the check box to keep the version 4.4 InterChange Server
Express component from being installed.
Select Next.
The Install Tools screen appears.
- On the Install Tools screen, do one of the following:
The Install Adapters screen appears.
- On the Install Adapters screen, if you have version 4.3.1 adapters
installed, the check box 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 check box 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 check
box 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 check
box beside the Adapter for JText selected, select the check boxes beside
the other adapters you want to add, and then select Next.
The Install Samples screen appears.
-
On the Install Samples screen, do one
of the following:
- If you have the version 4.3.1 Samples component installed, the
check box beside the entry Samples is selected
and disabled. Select Next.
- If you do not have the version 4.3.1
Samples component installed, the check box beside the entry Samples is
checked and enabled. You can proceed in one of two ways:
- Leave the entry selected to install the version 4.4 Samples
component during the upgrade of other installed components.
- Unselect the check box to keep the version 4.4 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:
- If the Software Prerequisites screen indicates that no additional
prerequisites are needed, proceed to Step 8.
- If the Software Prerequisites screen indicates that additional
prerequisites are needed, refer to Step 3 for instructions on how to install the prerequisites
and Software
prerequisites for additional
prerequisite information.
-
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.
The upgrade check screen appears.
- On the upgrade check screen, 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.
The maximum number of physical processors that can be used with
this server machine is restricted to two processors. Please refer
to the product license terms for more details.
- 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 12.
- 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 11.
-
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 Additional Custom installation information 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.
