You must choose among several installation scenarios when installing WebSphere Process Server or the Client.
You must choose to:
- Install the complete WebSphere Process Server product
or the Client.
- Install using an interactive Installation wizard interface or silently,
using a response file.
- Install 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.
- Install additional features on an existing installation of WebSphere Process Server or
the Client, or install a completely new installation to coexist with an existing
one.
- 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.
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.
- Starting the Launchpad -- The Launchpad is the single point
of reference for installing the entire process server environment, which can
include WebSphere Process Server or
the WebSphere Process Server Client,
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, a set of Web development
tools, a Web server, message service clients, and additional supporting software
and documentation.
- Installing WebSphere Process Server or
the Client interactively -- Select this method to install WebSphere Process Server or the Client
using the Installation wizard graphical user interface (GUI). You can install
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment as part of your installation.
You can also install WebSphere Process Server or
the Client over an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, version 6.0.x.x.
- Installing additional features on an existing installation --
Select this method to install additional features on an existing installation
of WebSphere Process Server or
the Client using the Installation wizard GUI.
- Silently installing WebSphere Process Server or
the Client -- Select this method to install silently by using a command-line
invocation with a parameter that identifies a response file, which you edit
before installing. You can use the silent method to install WebSphere Process Server or
the WebSphere Process Server Client
using default or custom selections and configuration, or install features
on an existing installation. A silent installation can also install WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment and create a WebSphere Process Server profile.
- Installing Message Service clients – Review
these topics to extend interaction between applications and WebSphere Process Server.
- Installing WebSphere Process Server or
the Client to coexist with existing installations of various WebSphere products --
Select this procedure to install WebSphere Process Server or
the Client on a system with an existing installation of WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Process Server Client, WebSphere
Enterprise Service Bus, or a supported version of WebSphere Application Server
or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
- Mounting
CD-ROMs on Linux and UNIX operating systems, Default installation paths, Product components, and Special considerations when installing from Passport Advantage –
These topics provide conceptual information related to the installation procedures.
- Using
the installation verification tools with WebSphere Process Server –
These tools help you verify that the installation of WebSphere Process Server and
the creation of the stand-alone process server or deployment manager profiles
were successful.
Restriction: Do not run two instances of the Installation wizard
concurrently. If you do so, you will receive a warning about an installation
already being in progress.
The installer program does not support the ISMP console-mode installation
method at this time.
