You can install WebSphere® eXtreme
Scale Client in
an environment in which WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment is installed. You can use
the existing features of WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment to enhance your eXtreme Scale applications.
Before you begin
- Install WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment. See Installing your application serving environment for
more information.
- Based on what version you install, Version 6.1 or Version 7.0,
apply the latest fix pack for WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment to update your product
level. See the Latest fix packs for WebSphere Application Server for
more information.
- Verify that the target installation directory does not contain
an existing installation of WebSphere eXtreme
Scale Client.
- Stop all processes that are running in your WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment environment. See Command-line utilities for more information
about the stopManager, stopNode,
and stopServer commands.
CAUTION:
Ensure
that any running processes are stopped. If the running processes are
not stopped, the installation proceeds, creating unpredictable results
and leaving the installation in an undetermined state on some platforms.
- If you are installing the client only, you can either use the
DVD to install the client or download the WebSphere eXtreme
Scale Client for the specific platform
from the downloads section on the Support site.
Important: When you install WebSphere eXtreme
Scale Client,
it should be in the same directory in which you installed WebSphere Application
Server. For example, if you
installed WebSphere Application
Server in C:\was_root,
then you should also choose C:was_root as
the target directory for your WebSphere eXtreme
Scale Client installation.
About this task
Integrate eXtreme Scale with WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment to apply the features of eXtreme Scale to your Java™ Platform,
Enterprise Edition applications. Java EE applications
host data grids and access the data grids using a client connection.
Procedure
- Use the wizard to complete the installation.
- Run the following script to start the wizard for theWebSphere eXtreme
Scale Client installation. The installation
files are in the zip file that you download from the downloads section
on the Support site:
![[Linux]](./images/nglinux.gif)
root/WXS_Client/install
root\WXS_Client\install.bat
Attention: If you use uniform naming conventions
(UNC) to identify file paths in your installation command, the items
you anticipate installing may not all be installed after the command
runs. To avoid trouble, map the file path to a network drive. Run
the install command against the mapped drive. Using
a mapped network drive ensures that all the items are installed.
- Follow the prompts in the wizard.
The optional
features panel lists the features from which you can choose to install.
However, features cannot be added incrementally to the product environment
after the product is installed. If you choose not to install a feature
with the initial product installation, you must uninstall and reinstall
the product to add the feature.
The Profile augmentation panel
lists existing profiles that you can select to augment with the features
of eXtreme Scale. If you select
existing profiles that are already in use, however, a warning panel
is displayed. To continue with the installation, either stop the servers
that are configured in the profiles, or click Back to
remove the profiles from your selection.
