Installing the Advanced Edition client base

Prior to installing enterprise services on an ActiveX or Java client, you must install the Advanced Edition application client (not the "thin client") as a base. On top of this base apply Fixpack 2, which brings your Advanced Edition client up to a Version 4.0.2 level. This level is required in order to install Version 4.1 enterprise services.

Note: For this release, enterprise services are not supported on HP-UX or Linux clients.

Complete the following steps to install the Advanced Edition client base, followed by Fixpack 2:

  1. Find the CD labelled WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition Application Clients for Windows NT, Windows 2000, AIX and Solaris. Insert this CD into your CD-ROM drive.
  2. AIX only: If you have not mounted your CD-ROM drive, enter the following mount command now:
    mount -r -v cdrfs <CD_device> cdrom
  3. At a command prompt, change to the installation image directory on the CD:
    • Windows:
      cd cdrom_drive\windows
    • Unix:
      cd /cdrom/your_platform
  4. Enter the installation command:
    • Windows:
      setup
    • Unix:
      ./install.sh
  5. Accept the installation defaults.

    If you see a message stating that you already have a J2EE application client installed on this machine, click Yes to install another copy of the client to a different directory. Accept the default directory.

  6. From the Websphere Application Server support Web page, download Fixpack 2 (Version 4.0.2) and install the fixpack according to the instructions provided with the download.

Your Advanced Edition J2EE client should now be at a Version 4.0.2 level. Before installing any enterprise services on this client, see the topic Testing your Advanced Edition client installation to be sure that your client is communicating properly with the application server.
