Use this procedure 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.
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 important information.
Why and when to perform this task
This procedure assumes that you want to install interactively
and that you do not have WebSphere Process Server already
installed. 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 of the installer, select Next.
- In the License agreement panel, review the IBM
and non-IBM licensing terms, select I accept both the IBM and the non-IBM
terms, 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 do not have an existing WebSphere Process Server, Client, or
WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus installation, but that you might have an
existing WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment installation.
If you do not have an existing installation
of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment,
the Installation location panel is displayed. Proceed to Step 7.
If
you do have an existing installation of one of these products, an Existing
installation detected panel is displayed. Proceed to step 6.
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, do one
of the following:
- If you want to install a new copy of WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment, select Install a new copy of WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment, Version 6.0 and select Next. A warning panel outlines
considerations you must make when installing the product on a system with
an existing installation. Select Next to close the warning panel. The
Installation location panel is displayed. Proceed to step 7.
- If you want to install WebSphere Process Server over
an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, select Use an existing installation of WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.0 or Use an existing
installation of WebSphere Application Server, Version 6.0 and select Next.
(If you have multiple installations, be sure to select the one you want to
use from the drop-down list.) A warning panel alerts you to stop servers before
continuing if the application you chose has running servers. Select Next to
close the warning panel. The Installation type panel is displayed. Proceed
to step 8.
- In the Installation location panel, accept the default
installation root directory for the products, or specify a different directory,
and select Next. See Default installation paths for the default installation directories.
Important: - You must provide a value for the installation root directory to continue.
- Do not use non-ASCII special characters in directory names – they are
not supported.
On Linux and UNIX platforms: Do not use
symbolic links as the installation root directory – they are not supported.
Also, do not use spaces in the directory path.
On Linux platforms: The installation root directory
path must be no longer than 256 characters to successfully install the products.
On Windows platforms: When performing a Complete
installation, the installation root directory path must be no longer than
60 characters to successfully create the default stand-alone profile.
- 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.
- 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 10. If you selected Custom,
proceed to step 9.
- 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.
If you elected to use an existing version of WebSphere
Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, the
Installation wizard examines it and does one of the following:
- Does nothing if the installation is at the correct service level.
- If the installation is at an earlier service level, applies
the necessary fixes to bring the installation up to the appropriate level
and also applies any necessary interim fixes.
- If you selected the WebSphere Process Server Sample applications gallery
feature, and you are installing over an installation of WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment that does not have its Samples gallery feature installed,
the Samples gallery feature will be added silently to the WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment installation.
Restriction: The
Sample applications gallery feature can be incrementally installed only over
a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation. Thus, if you
select the WebSphere Process Server Sample applications gallery feature, and
you are installing WebSphere Process Server over an installation of WebSphere
Application Server that does not have its Samples gallery feature installed,
the Sample applications gallery feature will not be added silently
to the WebSphere Application Server installation.
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
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.
