Installing the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit on distributed operating systems using the command line

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.
  1. Install IBM® Installation Manager Version 1.5.2 or later.
  2. Install IBM WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.5.
  3. Use Installation Manager to connect to a repository containing up-to-date product files and update the product.
  4. Use Installation Manager to connect to a repository containing up-to-date Installation Manager files and update Installation Manager.
  5. 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.
      1. Download the repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
        Tip: See How to download WebSphere Application Server V8.5 from Passport Advantage Online for a list of the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5 installation images downloadable from the IBM Passport Advantage Online website and other information.
      2. 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

  1. 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.

  2. Log on to your system.
  3. Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
  4. Verify that the repository is available.
    [Windows]
    imcl.exe listAvailablePackages -repositories path_to_repository
    [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris]
    ./imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories path_to_repository
    You should see one or more levels of the offering.
  5. Use the imcl command to install the offering.
    [Windows]
    imcl.exe install com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11_offering_version
      -repositories source_repository 
      -installationDirectory installation_directory
      -keyring keyring_file -password password
      -acceptLicense
    [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris]
    ./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.
