Run the Feature Pack for Web Services Client installation program
to install the feature pack on an existing installation of an IBM Application
Client for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 product. You can run the installation
program silently.
Before you begin
Before starting this installation, do the following:
- Install an IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server V6.1
product if you have not done so already.
- If your IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 installation
already has the Feature Pack for Web Services Client installed and you want
to install the feature pack again, uninstall the existing feature pack installation.
Run
the uninstall command in the app_client_root/uninstall_websv directory:
uninstall.sh
uninstall.exe
Select options to complete uninstallation in the feature pack uninstallation
wizard. After the wizard runs, delete the /uninstall_websv directory
and any log files, if necessary.
Limitation: If you use the silent install
option to install the Feature Pack for Web Services, you might receive a
RequireSamePakversionForFEPPrereqPlugin error
in the log files. The feature pack requires the IBM Application Client for
WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.0.9. However, if you attempt to install
the feature pack on a version later than Version 6.1.0.9, the error occurs.
To address this issue, complete the following steps:
- Install the IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server Version
6.1.0.9.
- Install the Feature Pack for Web Services.
- Install updates to Version 6.1.0.9 and updates to the feature pack.
About this task
This topic describes how to install the Feature Pack for Web Services
Client silently using the installation program. It is recommended that you
have 350 MB of temporary disk space available before beginning the installation.
The
silent installation program installs the following program files:
- Version 6.1.0.9 maintenance packages
- Feature pack enablement extensions
- IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server 6.1 Feature Pack
for Web Services 1.0
Procedure
- Log on as the user who installed the IBM Application Client for
WebSphere Application Server 6.1 product.
- Copy the responsefile.WEBSVClient.txt file in the WEBSV directory
of the feature pack installation image.
Extract the downloaded
product files. The WEBSV directory is the main directory of the Feature
Pack for Web Services installation image.
- Edit responsefile.WEBSVClient.txt and customize it for
your environment.
Set values for the following options. The
path may vary, depending on your installation.
-OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true"
-OPT disableNonBlockingPrereqChecking="true"
-OPT installLocation="C:\\WebSphere\\AppClient"
-OPT jdkFixpackLocation=<location of fixpack>
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 Version 6.1 product on which you are
installing the feature pack.
Stop any other product processes.
- Run the Feature Pack for Web Services silent installation program.
At a command prompt for the WEBSV directory, enter the following
command:
install -options responsefile.WEBSVClient.txt -silent
The
installation program runs silently in the background.
Results
The installation program records events in the log files and installs
the feature pack.
After the program runs, examine the logs in app_client_root/logs/install/webservices directory.
If the feature pack does not install successfully, correct the problems identified
in the logs and try installing the product again.
