Custom installation

This section describes the component selection screens that are unique to the Custom installation. After you have navigated through these screens, see step 3 to complete the installation process.

Certain entries on the GUI screens have help icons next to them. When you select an icon, a window opens with relevant information about the feature and the prerequisites required for the feature.

Selecting installation components

To communicate to the system which components you plan to install, perform the following steps:

  1. On the Choose the Setup Type screen, select the Custom radio button. The Install Server screen appears.
    Figure 10. Install Server screen
  2. On the Install Server screen, the check box beside the entry InterChange Server Express is selected by default. Leave this checked to install InterChange Server Express.

    The Use default ports check box is also selected. Leave this selected to use the default ports listed for the name server, MQ listener, and HTTP. These port numbers need to be changed only if they are already in use by another application. The default ports are as follows if WebSphere Business Integration Express 4.3.1 is not detected on the system: Name server port - 14500; MQ listener port - 1416, HTTP port - 4443. If WebSphere Business Integration Express 4.3.1 is detected, the default ports are Name server port - 14501; MQ listener port - 1417, HTTP port - 4443. Use the NETSTAT *CNN command on the OS/400 or i5/OS system to determine whether these ports are in use, or contact your network administrator.

    To use different ports for any of the choices, deselect the Use default ports check box and enter the port numbers you wish to use.

    Select Next. The Install Tools screen appears.

    Figure 11. Install Tools screen
  3. On the Install Tools screen, the check boxes beside the entries Administrative Tools and Development Tools are selected by default. The tools will be installed on the Windows system. Do one of the following:

    Select Next. The Web-based tools screen appears.

    Figure 12. Install Web-based Tools screen
  4. Check the check box next to Web-based Tools to install the web-based tools (System Monitor, Failed Event Manager, and Web Deployment). The web-based tools are installed on the OS/400 or i5/OS system. The web-based tools require that a supported version of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Express be installed on the OS/400 or i5/OS system. If a supported version of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Express is not yet installed, you will be notified and prompted to install it later on in the installation process. The web-based tools will be configured to work with the WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Express. An application server instance is created called ICSMON44.
    Note:
    The web-based tools can be installed after the initial installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express. As with installing any additional WebSphere Business Integration Server Express, component, just run Launchpad again and select the desired components (in this case web-based tools).

    For more information about installation of web-based tools, refer toAdditional Custom installation information. Leave the check box empty if you do not want web-based tools, and select Next. The Install Adapters screen appears.

    Figure 13. Install Adapters screen
  5. On the Install Adapters screen, select the adapters you want to install. The adapters are installed on the OS/400 or i5/OS system. The Adapter for JText is selected by default because it is required to run the System Test sample, which is part of the Samples component and is required to complete the Quick Validate process to verify the installation. For more information about Quick Validate, refer to Chapter 5.
    Note:
    If an OS/400 V5R2 system does not have a licensed version of the Crypto Access Provider (5722AC3) installed, then an encryption screen appears before the Install Adapters screen.

    Select Next

    .

    The Install Samples screen appears.

    Figure 14. Install Samples screen
  6. On the Install Samples screen, the check box beside the entry Samples is preselected by default. The samples are required for the Quick Validate process that you can use to verify your system's installation. They are installed on the OS/400 or i5/OS system. At this point the installation program checks whether you have the required prerequisites for options you selected. After it is finished, the Software Prerequisites screen appears.
  7. Follow step 3 through step 9 in the "Typical Installation" section and then continue with the additional steps in the following section, Additional Custom installation steps.
Note:
If you are planning on using a remote IBM DB2 Universal Database for iSeries, refer to IBM DB2 Universal Database.

Additional Custom installation steps

With a Custom installation, additional screens appear after the summary screen described in step 9. Their use is described in the following steps:

  1. After you have selected "Finish" (as in step 9), another installation wizard starts. The following screen appears:
    Figure 15. Windows directory selection screen
    The default path for the installation of product components on the Windows system is displayed. Accept the default or change it, and select Next. The pre-installation summary screen appears.
    Note:
    The directory path must not contain any spaces. Throughout the rest of this document, the installation directory C:\IBM\WebSphereServer (or the alternative path that you entered) will be referred to as ProductDir.
    Figure 16. Pre-installation summary screen for components installed on the Windows system
  2. Confirm that all the desired components will be installed on the Windows system, and if so, select Next to start the installation. A progress bar will be displayed.
  3. When the installation is complete, a final screen will appear. Click the Finish button. A message appears informing you that the installation is complete and asks if you would like to launch the First Steps application. For more information on this application, refer to the section Using First Steps.
  4. The Launchpad remains open. Click the Exit button on the Launchpad to close it.

Additional Custom installation information

During the Custom installation process, if you choose to install web-based tools, you must configure port numbers for them. During the operation of the installation wizard for components installed on the OS/400 or i5/OS system, the following screen appears after the License Agreement screen and before the RBAC Information screen:

Figure 17. Web-based tools port configuration screen

On this screen, enter the port numbers you will use. These numbers are defined as follows:

Use the NETSTAT *CNN command on the OS/400 or i5/OS system to determine which ports are available for use, or contact your network administrator.

You will be able to access the web tools by entering a URL with the following syntax into your web browser on a client system:

where hostname is the name of your OS/400 or i5/OS system, and portnum is the HTTP port number provided in this screen.
