Options on the Launchpad for WebSphere Process Server, version 6.0.0

The Launchpad for WebSphere Process Server contains several options you can select to install the entire process server environment. This environment can include WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Application Server, or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, a set of Web development tools, a Web server, and additional supporting software and documentation.

The Launchpad contains a link for each installable component on WebSphere Process Server CD 1 and WebSphere Process Server CD 2 (except for the IBM Eclipse Help System, which must be installed following the procedure in Installing the documentation). The WebSphere Application Server Toolkit can be installed on Windows and Linux (Intel) systems from the Launchpad on WebSphere Process Server CD 1.

The links in the following list go to sections within this topic that describe various Launchpad panels in more detail.

Welcome panel

The Welcome panel is the first panel that is displayed when the Launchpad is started. Its right pane contains Fastpath links that start the following graphical user interface (GUI) installer programs:
  • Installation Wizard for WebSphere Process Server for Multiplatforms
  • Installation Wizard for IBM HTTP Server
  • Installation Wizard for Web server plug-ins
  • Installation Wizard for WebSphere Application Server Application Clients
  • Installation Wizard for the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit

Selecting an entry in the left pane causes an individual Launchpad panel to be displayed, which includes links to the installation program for the component and to documentation that describes the product, how to install it, and how to configure it for use.
