Follow the steps in this topic to install WebSphere® Premises Server and its prerequisite middleware.
The installer will create a database for you, but you have the option to install one manually as well.
If you do not issue this command and you have those Windows components installed, the installation may fail because the installer cannot write to the vpd.properties file. To see if you have Terminal Server and Terminal Server Licensing installed, navigate to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add or Remove Windows Components. When you have successfully issued the command, the response is User session is ready to install applications. or Install mode does not apply to a Terminal server configured for remote administration. if the command was not needed. For more information, refer to the Windows Server 2003 Product Help.
If you have a Linux® operating system, make sure you run LinuxSetup from a new shell window.
When you run the installation program, the deployment wizard is temporarily installed on your hard drive. It will uninstall itself when the installation is complete. When the deployment wizard installation completes, it automatically launches and guides you through the installation of the product and its prerequisite software. It may take a few minutes to begin.
You can also run the installation program in silent mode. Refer to Installing silently for further instructions.
The installation also creates a bundle repository in your IBM HTTP Server document root path, IHS_HOME\htdocs\en_US\bundles. For example, the path for a Windows operating system may be C:\Program Files\IBM HTTP Server\htdocs\en_US\bundles. This repository stores all the device application bundles for OSGi Equinox for management by the Bundle Repository Server.
See Log file locations and settings for the default installation locations of the edge alerts and heartbeat log files.
The following applications should appear with green status arrows next to them:
com.ibm.rfid.bundle.list.url=http://IP_address:port_number/bundleadmin/GetBundle?name=http://IBM_HTTP_Server_IP_address/bundles/bundlelists/dc_core4dts.txt
This code specifies the URL used by the bundle loader to retrieve the list of bundles to load. If the Bundle Repository Server is on a separate server from WebSphere Premises Server, then replace the IP_address and IBM_HTTP_Server_IP_address values in this property with the IP address of the server hosting the Bundle Repository Server.
The default port number is 9080. This port number is defined when you create your WebSphere Application Server profile.
The bundle list should be set to the dc_core4dts.txt file.
com.ibm.rfid.edge.config.url=http://IP_address:port_number/ibmrfidadmin/premises.sl?action=getconfig&edge=E2&version=6.1
This code specifies the Data Capture and Delivery controller to use. For testing purposes, the configuration uses the default E2 controller, which is shipped as a sample Data Capture and Delivery controller with WebSphere Premises Server. The E2 controller loads the Simulated Reader to help verify your configuration before testing with a real reader. For a production environment, use the E0 controller.
The default is the localhost address, 127.0.0.1.
PREFIX http://IP_address/bundles/
For Windows operating
systems, if you are running WebSphere Application Server, IBM HTTP Server, WebSphere MQ, and Data Transformation service
on the same server, you need to ensure that the Data Transformation service
starts after WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere MQ when the
computer is rebooted. By default, there can be a situation where Data Transformation service
starts before the other applications, resulting in errors.
sc config IBMWebSpherePremisesServerDTService depend= "MQSeriesServices/IBMHTTPServer6.1/IBMWAS61Service - PremisesNode"
Data Transformation service should show a dependency on the starting of the WebSphere Application Server, IBM HTTP Server, and WebSphere MQ services.
In a Linux environment, WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server are not
automatically started when the computer reboots, but Data Transformation service
and WebSphere MQ are
automatically started. If all of the products are installed on the
same server, the startup sequence can result in errors.
To reduce the possibility of errors occurring, remove the ibm_dts_service from the automatic startup by issuing this command:
chkconfig --level 35 ibm_dts_service off
If you need to uninstall the WebSphere Premises Server software, refer to Uninstalling WebSphere Premises Server.
