    A supported version of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Express and the IBM HTTP Server are required to be on the OS/400 or i5/OS system for web-based tools to operate. If web-based tools is selected, then later in the installation process the Launchpad will inform you whether these prerequisites are already installed and will prompt you to install them if they are not. (WebSphere Application Server Express 6.0 can be installed from the Launchpad; the IBM HTTP Server is supplied with your OS/400 or i5/OS system and must be installed separately.)

    Select Next.

    The Install Adapters screen appears.

  6. On the Install Adapters screen, if you have version 4.4 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.

Installation Summary

The installation process has completed the following tasks, depending on the features you chose in the Launchpad:

At this point, you can view the files and directory structure of your system, as detailed in Directory structure and files.

There is one log file containing information about the install process for the OS/400 and i5/OS installation: the install.log file is located in the directory /QIBM/ProdData/WBIServer44/.

Installing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express V4.4 to OS/400 or i5/OS with an existing installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express V4.3.1

If you currently have WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.3.1 installed on OS/400 or i5/OS, you can install WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.4 alongside the previous version. The two versions can coexist on OS/400 and i5/OS and can run concurrently. The installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.4 will not modify the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.3.1 installation.

During the installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.4, the Launchpad will detect the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.3.1 installation. In this case, the InterChange Server Express default ports for WebSphere Business Integration Server Express V4.4 will change to 14501, 1417, and 4443.

For specific information on installing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.4, refer to Chapters 1 through 7 of this guide.

Installing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus V4.4 to OS/400 or i5/OS with an existing installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus V4.3.1

If you currently have WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.3.1 installed on OS/400 or i5/OS, you can install WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.4 along side the previous version. The two versions can coexist on OS/400 and i5/OS and can run concurrently. The installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.4 will not modify WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.3.1 installation.

During the installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.4, the Launchpad will detect the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.3.1 installation. In this case, the InterChange Server Express default ports for WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.4 will change to 14501, 1417, and 4443.

For specific information on installing WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.4, refer to Chapters 1 through 7 of this guide.

Starting the new upgraded version

After the installation completes, you can start the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus system using your existing version of the repository by doing the following:

  1. Verify that all required supporting software is running. Supporting software includes WebSphere MQ (make sure that Queue manager and the Listener are both up and running).
  2. Start InterChange Server Express. For instructions on how to start InterChange Server Express, refer to Starting WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus.

    You can check the InterchangeSystem.log file in the /QIBM/UserData/WBIServer44/QWBIDFT44/log directory for the default instance.

    Note:
    If InterChange Server Express fails to start up after you upgrade the system, review this upgrade procedure to be sure you followed all the instructions. If the cause of the failure is still unknown, consult IBM technical support for assistance before attempting adjustments or restoring from backup.
