You can install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit using the
Installation Manager command line.
Before you begin
Perform the following actions before you install the Web
2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.
- Install IBM® Installation
Manager Version 1.5.2 or later.
- Install IBM WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.5.
- Use Installation Manager to connect to a repository containing
up-to-date product files and update the product.
- Use Installation Manager to connect to a repository containing
up-to-date Installation Manager files and update Installation Manager.
- Obtain access to the necessary Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit files.
There
are three basic options for installing the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.
- Access the physical media, and use local installation
You
can access the repositories on the product media. Use Installation
Manager to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit from the product
repositories on the media.
- Download the files from the Passport Advantage® site, and use
local installation
Licensed customers with a Passport Advantage ID and password
can download the necessary repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
- Download the repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
- Use Installation Manager to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit
from the downloaded repositories.
- Access the live repositories, and use web-based installation
If
you have a Passport
Advantage ID and password, you can use Installation Manager to
install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit from the web-based repositories.
Use Installation Manager to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit
from the web-based repository located at
http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11
Note: This
location does not contain a web page that you can access using a web
browser. This is a remote web-based repository location that you must
specify for the value of the -repositories parameter so that the imcl command
can access the files in this repository to install the Web 2.0 and
Mobile Toolkit.
Whenever possible, you should use the
remote web-based repositories so that you are accessing the most up-to-date
installation files.
Notes: - If you do not have a Passport
Advantage ID and password, you must install the Web 2.0 and Mobile
Toolkit from the product repositories on the media or local repositories.
- With the Packaging Utility, you can create and manage packages
for installation repositories. You can copy multiple packages into
one repository or copy multiple disks for one product into a repository.
You can copy packages from Passport Advantage or a web-based
repository into a local repository for example. For more information
on the Packaging Utility, go to the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.6 Information Center.
Procedure
- Optional: If the repository requires a username
and password, create a keyring file to access this repository.
For more information on creating a keyring file for Installation
Manager, read the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.6 Information Center.
Tip: When
creating a keyring file, append /repository.config at
the end of the repository URL location if the imutilsc command
is unable to find the URL that is specified.
Note: Starting in Installation Manager Version 1.6.2, the -keyring and
-password options that were used to access credentials in a key ring file are
deprecated. For Installation Manager Version 1.6.2 and later, use the
-secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options to
store credentials in a credential storage file.
In Version 1.7, the format of the secure storage file is revised, and is no longer compatible
with versions of Installation Manager before version 1.7. Update Installation Manager to version 1.7
or higher and then re-create and replace any secure storage files that you created with earlier
versions.
There is no migration path from key ring files to storage files because of the differences in the
file structures. You must create a storage file to replace a key ring file. For more information
about using the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile
options to store credentials in a credential storage file, see the Installation
Manager Version 1.6 documentation.
- Log on to your system.
- Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory
in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
- Verify that the repository is available.
imcl.exe listAvailablePackages -repositories path_to_repository
![[AIX]](../images/aixlogo.gif)
![[HP-UX]](../images/hpux.gif)
![[Linux]](../images/linux.gif)
./imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories path_to_repository
You
should see one or more levels of the offering.
- Use the imcl command to install the
offering.
imcl.exe install com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11_offering_version
-repositories source_repository
-installationDirectory installation_directory
-keyring keyring_file -password password
-acceptLicense
![[AIX]](../images/aixlogo.gif)
![[HP-UX]](../images/hpux.gif)
![[Linux]](../images/linux.gif)
./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11_offering_version
-repositories source_repository
-installationDirectory installation_directory
-keyring keyring_file -password password
-acceptLicense
Tips: - The offering_version, which optionally can
be attached to the offering ID with an underscore, is a specific version
of the offering to install (8.5.0.20110503_0200 for
example).
- If offering_version is not specified,
the latest version of the offering and all interim fixes for
that version are installed.
- If offering_version is specified, the specified
version of the offering and no interim fixes for that version
are installed.
The offering version can be found attached to the end of the
offering ID with an underscore when you run the following command
against the repository:
imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories source_repository
- You can also specify none, recommended or all with
the -installFixes argument to indicate which interim
fixes you want installed with the offering.
- If the offering version is not specified, the -installFixes option
defaults to all.
- If the offering version is specified, the -installFixes option
defaults to none.
- The relevant terms and conditions, notices, and other information
are provided in the license-agreement files in the lafiles or product_name/lafiles subdirectory
of the installation image or repository for this product.
- The program might write important post-installation instructions
to standard output.
For more information on using the imcl command,
see the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.6 Information Center.
