Installing WebSphere Adapters

Installing an adapter using a graphical user interface

The installer places a resource adapter archive (RAR) file and other adapter artifacts for a WebSphere® Adapter on your system, but it does not deploy or configure the adapter.

Before you begin

Review the prerequisites for the installer and the adapter (see the related links that follow). Locate the IBM® WebSphere Adapters, Version 6.0.2 product CD. To access the launchpad and installer, use the IBM WebSphere Adapters, Version 6.0.2 product CD or download image.

How to perform this task

  1. Insert the IBM WebSphere Adapters, Version 6.0.2 product CD or access the download image.
  2. Read the README_NOW_.html file on the IBM WebSphere Adapters, Version 6.0.2 product CD or download image. This file might contain information about installation that was created after this edition of Installing IBM WebSphere Adapters was published.
  3. Start the installer in one of the following ways.
    • Click Install Product on the launchpad
    • Launch the installer directly by running one of the following commands which reside on the product CD or download image in the lib directory:
      • For Windows®:setupwin32.exe
      • For Linux®: setupLinux.bin
  4. Select the language for the installer from the languages list and click OK.
    Note: In this step you select the language in which the installer is displayed, not the language for the adapter you are installing.
  5. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
  6. Read and accept the license agreement by selecting I accept and clicking Next.
  7. Either accept the default installation path or specify a new one, and click Next.
  8. Confirm the summary information, and click Next.

    The summary lists the product name, version, installation location, components to be installed, and disk space required by the installation.

  9. The installer installs the RAR file, an uninstaller, and other adapter artifacts such as message files, then displays a confirmation window. Click Finish.
  10. Click Exit on the launchpad.
  11. Download and install the latest fix pack for the adapter from http://www.ibm.com/websphere.

Result

Verify that the installation was successful by checking for the RAR file in the destination directory. You can also check the return code in the installation log file. For more information on return codes and the log file, or if you encounter problems, see the troubleshooting section in the related links.

What to do next

After installing the adapter, you must extract the messages files.
