Consider these basic installation scenarios to determine how to install Feature Pack for Web Services onto your existing single-tiered or multiple-tiered application server environment.
The Feature Pack for Web Services introduces a set of Web services standards that support interoperable and reliable Web services applications.
To use the functionality provided in the Feature Pack for Web Services, you must perform two actions: First, you must install the feature pack onto an existing WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 installation. Second, a profile must be created and enabled with the feature pack functionality. The deployment manager and application server profiles are the only profiles that can be created and enabled with the feature pack. An existing stand-alone deployment manager profile can be augmented later with the feature pack, but is the only profile type which can be augmented after creation. See Augmenting a profile using the graphical user interface or Augmenting profiles using the command prompt for more information.
Some scenarios are more typical in production environments. For example, although Scenario 1 is a fully functional environment, it supports a lighter workload than Scenario 2. A cluster might consist of application servers and nodes and is responsible for balancing workload among servers. A cell consists of one deployment manager and one or more federated application servers that are managed nodes. See "Planning to install Network Deployment" in the Network Deployment documentation for more information on application server topologies.
Following this procedure results in reviewing common feature pack installation scenarios to find a possible match for the topology that you intend to install. Each high-level procedure shows the installation order for the components that comprise the topology.
