Installing the product

This topic outlines various procedures used to install WebSphere Process Server.

WebSphere Process Server is built upon WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. As a result, there are many different scenarios that can exist when you are installing the product. You might install WebSphere Process Server on a clean system, or on top of an existing installation of a supported version of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. You might prefer to install the product with an interactive Installation Wizard interface or silently, using a response file. You might want to let the Installation Wizard create a default stand-alone server profile for you or bypass that option and later use the Profile Wizard to create stand-alone, deployment manager, and custom profiles. You might only want to install additional features on an existing installation of WebSphere Process Server or want to install a completely new installation to coexist with an existing one.

Because there are so many different installation variations, we cannot document all of them here. We have created some typical installation procedures, which can be selected from the following list. Find the link to the installation procedure you require and then use that procedure to install WebSphere Process Server on your system.

Restriction: The Launchpad and Installation Wizard GUIs are available only in English and install WebSphere Process Server, versions 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.
Remember: If you plan to install WebSphere Process Server over an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for which you have enabled global security, ensure you disable global security 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.
Restriction: You cannot have two instances of the Installation Wizard running concurrently. Attempts to run multiple instances of the Installation Wizard concurrently result in a warning about installation already being in progress.

The installer program does not support the ISMP-console installation method at this time.
