Use this procedure to install additional features on an existing
installation of WebSphere Process Server using the Installation Wizard graphical
user interface (GUI).
Before you begin
Before adding additional features to your installation using this
procedure, ensure that:
- You have an installation of WebSphere Process Server on your system. You
do not have to have an existing WebSphere Process Server profile to install
additional features on an installation. Also, ensure that you want to add
the features using an interactive interface. If your proposed installation
does not meet these criteria, see Installing the product for descriptions of other installation procedures.
- You are installing the features 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.
Following this procedure to install additional features
does not modify features that are already installed or affect any updates
made to the original installation.
Use the following procedure to install
additional features to your WebSphere Process Server installation.
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 to continue.
The Installation Wizard checks for any existing installations
of WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment. This procedure assumes that you have
an existing installation of WebSphere Process Server on your system. If you
do, an Existing installation detected panel is displayed.
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 Existing installation detected panel, which lets you choose
to install a new installation of WebSphere Process Server to coexist with
the current one, to add features to an existing installation, or to add profiles
to an existing installation, select the radio button beside Add features
to an existing copy of WebSphere Process Server 6.0, select the installation
of WebSphere Process Server to which you want to add features, and select Next.
- In the Feature selection panel, select the features you want to
install and select Next. Features that are already installed have the
text (installed) beside them.
Important: Clearing
the check box beside an installed feature will not cause it to be uninstalled.
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 product code or select Back to change your specifications.
The disk space shown on the Installation summary panel includes space
for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Subtract the size of the JVM for your
operating system to determine the installed size on disk for the features
that you selected.

Verify that you have the total amount of free space shown before
installing. Space is required for a working copy of the JVM during the installation.
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,
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 have an existing 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 new profile, unselect the check box beside Launch
the Profile Wizard and 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.
Result
If the Installation complete panel is displayed at the end of the
procedure, the additional features were 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.
