Installing IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS

You install IBM® HTTP Server for WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® using IBM Installation Manager. Installation Manager installs products from one or more product repositories.

Before you begin

[8.5.5.11 or later] Note: For new installations of version 8.5.5.11 and higher, the default Java SDK is Java SE 8. Java 8 is the recommended Java SDK because it provides the latest features and security updates. You can continue to use Java SE 6, but no service can be provided after the end of support in April 2018, which could expose your environment to security risks.
You can use the user.wasjava property to install Java. Specifying the property is optional. If you do not specify the property, Java SE 8 is installed as the default.
  • To specify Java SE 8, specify -properties user.wasjava=java8.
  • To specify Java SE 6, specify -properties user.wasjava=java6.

On Windows, only the 32-bit version of Java SE 8 is available.

You can also install IBM HTTP Server on z/OS as part of the IBM Ported Tools product (5655-M23). When this product is installed, SMP/E is used. Follow the installation directions in the IBM Ported Tools program directory.
