Use 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.
This procedure uses the Installation wizard graphical user interface (GUI).
Before you begin
Before installing using this procedure, ensure that:
- You have decided on the type of installation you prefer:
- You have decided whether to install WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment as part of your WebSphere Process Server or Client installation
or to instead use an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server
or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, version 6.0.x.x.
- You have reviewed possible installation topologies in Planning installation topologies.
- 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.
- 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.
- You are installing 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.
Why and when to perform this task
This procedure assumes you have an installation of WebSphere Process
Server, WebSphere Process Server Client, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus,
WebSphere Application Server, version 6.0.x.x, or WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment, version 6.0.x.x on your system. You do not have to have
existing profiles. It also assumes you want to install using an interactive
interface. If your proposed installation does not meet these criteria, see Installing the software for descriptions
of other installation procedures. Use the following procedure to install the
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 WebSphere Process Server installer.
Do
the following:
- Start the Launchpad by following the procedure in Starting the Launchpad.
- From the right pane of the Launchpad, select WebSphere Process Server installation
> Launch the Installation wizard for WebSphere Process Server for
Multiplatforms.
- From the Welcome panel on the installer, select Next.
- In the License agreement panel, review the IBM
and non-IBM licensing terms, select I accept the terms in the license agreement,
and select Next.
The Installation wizard checks
for a supported operating system with prerequisite patches. At the end of
the process, the Checking prerequisites panel indicates whether your system
passed the check. This procedure assumes that your system passed.
If
your system did not pass, cancel the installation, make the required changes,
and restart the installation.
- In the Checking prerequisites panel, select Next.
The Installation wizard checks for existing installations of
WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Process Server Client, WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus, WebSphere Application Server, and WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment. This procedure assumes you might have an existing installation
of any of these products.
- If you have an existing installation of WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere
Process Server Client, or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, an Existing installation
detected panel is displayed.
In this case, do the following:
- Select Install a new copy of WebSphere Process Server for Multiplatforms
6.0.2 and Next. A warning panel outlines considerations you must
make when installing the product on a system with an existing installation.
- Select Next. A second warning panel outlines considerations you
must make when installing the product on a system with an existing installation
of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
- Select Next.
- If you have an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, an Existing installation
detected panel is displayed. In this case, do the following:
- Select Install a new copy of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment,
Version 6.0 and select Next (since in this example scenario, we
want a new installation of WebSphere Process Server to coexist with
an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment – not be installed on top of it). A warning panel
outlines considerations you must make when installing the product on a system
with an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment.
- 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 the products or specify a different directory, and select Next.
- In the Installation type panel, select the type of installation
you want and select Next. The Installation wizard provides
three installation paths (not all might appear based on selections you made
on previous panels):
- The Complete path installs WebSphere
Process Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, and creates
a stand-alone process server profile named default with a
server named server1.
- The Custom path allows you to select
those features you want to install, plus can install WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment. It does not create a profile but allows you to
run the Profile wizard at the end of the installation.
- The Client path installs the WebSphere Process
Server Client and can install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
It does not create a profile.
If you selected Complete or Client,
proceed to step 9. If you
selected Custom, proceed to step 8.
- In the Feature selection panel, select the features
you want to install and select Next. See Product components for descriptions of the features you
can select from this panel.
- In the Installation summary panel, review the components
that will be installed, the amount of space they will consume, and where they
will be located on the system, and select Next to install or 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,
error messages in
Error messages: installation and profile creation and augmentation,
and refer to
Troubleshooting installation for
tips on troubleshooting your installation. If you performed a Complete installation
and the default profile did not create successfully, refer to
Recovering from profile creation or augmentation failure for troubleshooting tips.
- The Installation complete panel differs depending on the type of
installation you performed.
Result
If the Installation complete panel is displayed, the components you
selected were installed successfully, and in a Complete installation, a stand-alone
process server profile named
default with a server named
server1 was
created.
What to do next
If the installation was successful, after you have created a WebSphere
Process Server stand-alone server 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.
You
can also use the installation verification tools to verify your installation.
See Using the installation verification tools with WebSphere Process Server for more information.
