Use this procedure to install WebSphere Process Server on a system
with an existing installation of the product or an existing installation of
a supported version of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment. This procedure uses the Installation Wizard graphical
user interface (GUI).
Before you begin
Before installing WebSphere Process Server using this procedure,
ensure that:
- You have an installation of WebSphere Process Server on your
system (which includes an installation of WebSphere Process Server with its
underlying, supported version of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment), or that you have an installation of
WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment,
version 6.0.0.x or 6.0.1.x.
If you
are using WebSphere Process Server, version 6.0.1, you can also have WebSphere
Enterprise Service Bus or WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, version 6.0.2.x installed.
You do not have
to have any existing profiles. Also, ensure that you want to use an interactive
interface. If your proposed installation does not meet these criteria, see Installing the product for descriptions
of other installation procedures.
Restriction: The
Installation Wizard GUI is available only in English and installs WebSphere
Process Server, version 6.0.0 or 6.0.1. These versions of the product are
not translated. To obtain the translated product (version 6.0.1.1),
you must first install the 6.0.1 product and then update that installation
with Fix Pack 1 for WebSphere Process Server, version 6.0.1. Instructions
for performing the update are provided with the fix pack package.
- Your
system meets all hardware requirements and that you have installed all required
software corequisites and prerequisites. See Hardware and software requirements for more information.
- You have prepared your operating system for installation. See Preparing the operating system for installation for instructions.
- If you have enabled global security on an existing installation of WebSphere
Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, you
disable it before installing WebSphere Process Server. For information on
enabling and disabling global security, see the WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment, version 6.0 information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/index.jsp.
- You are installing the product as the root user on a Linux or UNIX system,
or as a member of the Administrator group on a Windows system.
Why and when to perform this task
The procedure in this topic assumes installation from product
CDs. If you plan to install from images obtained from Passport Advantage,
see Special considerations when installing from Passport Advantage for
installation tips.
Use the following procedure to install the WebSphere
Process Server product.
Steps for this task
- Log on as the root user on a Linux or UNIX system, or as a member
of the Administrator group on a Windows system.
- Start the Launchpad by following the procedure in Starting the Launchpad.
- Start the WebSphere Process Server installer.
If you are using WebSphere Process Server,
version 6.0.1, from the right pane of the Launchpad, select WebSphere Process
Server installation > Launch the Installation Wizard for WebSphere Process
Server for Multiplatforms.
If you are using WebSphere Process Server,
version 6.0.0, from the right pane of the Launchpad, select Launch the
Installation Wizard for WebSphere Process Server for Multiplatforms.
- From the Welcome panel, select Next.
- In the License agreement panel, accept the licensing
terms.
If you are using WebSphere Process Server,
version 6.0.1, review the IBM licensing terms in the main window of the panel
and select Read non-IBM terms to review non-IBM licensing terms. Then
select the I accept the terms in the license agreement radio button
and select Next.
If you are using WebSphere Process Server,
version 6.0.0, review the IBM licensing terms, select the I accept the
terms in the license agreement radio button, and select Next.
The Installation Wizard checks for a supported operating system
with prerequisite patches. During the check, the Checking prerequisites panel
is displayed. At the end of the process, this panel indicates whether your
system passed the check. This procedure assumes that your system passed.
If
you do not have a supported operating system or the correct prerequisite patches
on your system, cancel the installation, make the required changes, and restart
the installation.
- In the Checking prerequisites panel, select Next.
Important: The installer will also detect
unregistered instances of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment if they have entries in the .WASRegistry file.
This file is located in the $USER_HOME directory of the installation. Using
an unregistered installation of one of these products with your WebSphere
Process Server installation is neither recommended nor supported.
- In the Installation location panel, accept the default installation
root directory for WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment (which is installed silently with WebSphere Process Server)
or specify a different directory, and select Next.
- In the Installation type panel, select the Custom installation radio
button and select Next. The Installation Wizard provides
two installation paths. The Complete path installs WebSphere Process Server
and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, and creates a stand-alone
process server profile. The Custom path allows you to select those features
you want to install. It does not create a profile. For this example procedure,
choose Custom installation.
- In the Feature selection panel, select the features you want to
install and select Next. See Product components for descriptions of the features that
can be selected from this panel.
- In the Installation summary panel, which details the components
that will be installed, the amount of space they will consume, and where they
will be located on the system, review the information and either select Next to
install the products or select Back to change your specifications. The Installation Wizard creates the uninstaller program and shows
a progress panel to indicate that components are being installed. At the end
of the installation, the Installation complete panel is displayed.
Attention: If
errors are detected during installation, other panels might be displayed in
place of the Installation complete panel. Examples include the following:
- Installation is complete with errors panel, which indicates that the installation
completed but errors were generated
- Installation failed panel, which indicates that the installation failed
completely
Each of these panels identifies the log file to reference in order to
troubleshoot the problems. See the descriptions of relevant log files listed
in
Log files,
of error messages in
Error messages: installation and profile creation and augmentation,
and refer to
Troubleshooting installation for
tips on troubleshooting your installation.
- In the Installation complete panel, do one of the following, depending
on whether you want to create a WebSphere Process Server profile:
- To create a new profile, leave the check box beside Launch the Profile
Wizard selected and select Next. The Installation Wizard closes
and the Profile Wizard is launched. See Creating and augmenting profiles by using the Profile Wizard for instructions on how to use this wizard
to create new process server profiles or augment existing application server
profiles into process server profiles.
- To not create a profile, unselect the check box beside Launch
the Profile Wizard and select Next. In this case, a warning panel
is displayed, which explains that without a profile there is no operational
server. Do one of the following:
- Select Back for another chance to launch the Profile Wizard.
- Select Next. The Installation complete panel is displayed with
a check box to launch the First Steps console. Ensure that this check box
is selected and select Finish to close the Installation Wizard and
launch the First Steps console.
Attention: To have an operational environment,
a WebSphere Process Server stand-alone profile or deployment manager profile
with managed nodes must exist.
Result
If the Installation complete panel is displayed at the end of product
installation:
- WebSphere Process Server was installed successfully.
- If you selected to install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment,
it was installed successfully.
What to do next
If the installation was successful, after you have created a WebSphere
Process Server stand-alone or deployment manager profile, start the server
or deployment manager from its First Steps console to verify that your installation
is operating properly. See
Options on the First Steps console for more details.
If
you are using WebSphere Process Server, version 6.0.1, you can also use the
installation verification tools to verify your installation. See Using the installation verification tools with WebSphere Process Server, version 6.0.1 for more information.
