Install a feature pack directly from your iSeries server onto an
existing Version 6.1 application
server.
Before you begin
The Feature Pack for Web 2.0 is an optionally installable
product extension for IBM WebSphere Application Server that offers targeted,
incremental new features that can make your Web applications running on WebSphere
Application Server easier to use. The feature pack extends Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) by connecting external Web services, internal Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) services, and Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
objects into highly-interactive Web application interfaces.
Before starting
this installation, complete the following actions:
- Ensure that your user profile has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
- Determine if the appliction server is already installed on your server.
The feature pack must be installed on an existing application server installation.
- Enter the Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command
on a CL command line.
- Look for an entry with the product Resource ID 5733W61.
- If you do not find the product Resource ID, then this product has not
been installed on your iSeries server.
- If you find the product Resources ID, ensure that at
least one of the following entries is displayed:
- 5733W61 2 5102 WebSphere Application Server V6.1
- 5733W61 1 5101 WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Express
- 5733W61 3 5103 WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Network
Deployment
- Install a WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 product
if you have not done so already. Update the application server to at least
version 6.1.0.13.
- Download the feature pack and extract the contents to an integrated file
system (IFS) directory on the iSeries system on which you will install.
For
example, create two directories, web20_download and web20_installation_image.
Then, download the feature pack to the web20_download directory
and then extract the downloaded file to the web20_installation_image directory.
Do not move any files out of the web20_installation_image directory.
- The operating system requirements for a feature pack are the same as for
an application server installation. However, you need to ensure that you have
enough free disk space to install the feature pack onto the application server
installation. The following space is required:
- 280 MB of free space available in your target installation directory for
the feature pack. This is in addition to the required application server product.
- 250 MB of free space available in your temporary directory
Restriction: You cannot install a feature pack remotely,
for example from a Windows workstation. You must install a feature pack on
an i5/OS server using a local command-line installation.
About this task
This topic describes how to install the Feature Pack for Web
2.0 silently using the installation program. You can install the feature
pack from Qshell using the INSTALL command. You can also
use the RUNJVA command to invoke the installation wizard.
Procedure
- Log on to the iSeries system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ
and *SECADM special authorities.
- Copy the responsefile.WEB2FEP.txt file located
in the root directory of the extracted install image.
- Edit the copy of the response file. You can edit the file using
a mapped drive and a text editor or by using the EDTF CL command
from the i5/OS system command line.
Set values for the following
options where app_server_root is the directory path to
your WebSphere Application Server installation:
-OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true"
-OPT installLocation=app_server_root
To
override any option in the response file with command-line options, include
the following option in the response file:
-OPT overrideResponsefileOptions=true
- Stop all processes for the application server product on which
you are installing the feature pack.
Stop the application server
and any other product processes. For example, for the Network Deployment product,
stop the deployment manager, the node agent, and all application server processes.
- Verify that the host server jobs have started on your iSeries server.
The host server jobs allow the installation code to run on iSeries.
On a CL command line, enter the following command:
STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL)
- If you have not already done so, read the IBM International Program
License Agreement located in the lafiles directory.
If you agree
to the terms of the agreement, continue with the installation process.
- Invoke the installation program for the feature pack.
Run
the INSTALL command from Qshell or use the RUNJVA command
from the CL command line.
In the following example commands, path/responsefile represents
the fully qualified path of the response file that you edited:
- For security purposes, if the host servers were not running prior
to installation, it is recommended that you run the end host server (ENDHOSTSVR)
command after the installation is complete.
Results
The installation program records events in the log files and installs
the feature pack.
What to do next
After you have installed Feature Pack for
Web 2.0 you can begin using the feature pack by working with the various included
features and applications. See Feature Pack for Web 2.0 applications for more
information.
Applying Maintenance
Use the Update Installer
to install maintenance packages for any of the installable WebSphere software
components in the product package. Read the "Installing maintenance packages"
topic for more information.
