Installing for Windows systems

This section includes the following topics:

Software Requirements

The WebSphere business integration system includes WebSphere Business Integration adapters and other components. WebSphere Business Integration adapters and some associated components are delivered on CD or through ESD (IBM Electronic Software Delivery). Other components used by the WebSphere business integration system must be obtained and installed separately.

Table 6 lists the software requirements for the WebSphere business integration system.

Installing the JDK

The JDK (Java Development Kit) is required only if you plan to develop custom Java connectors (the Java compiler is needed). For development on Windows systems, the JDK is included in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter FrameWork. Refer to the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Installation Guide for information on installing the JDK.

Installing WebSphere MQ

IBM WebSphere MQ is the messaging software that enables communication between the integration broker and the adapters.

Refer to the following WebSphere MQ publications for installation and configuration information:

Note:
You can browse or download these documents from IBM's Web site at: www.ibm.com/software/integration/mqfamily.

To configure WebSphere MQ to work with the integration broker, see Configuring WebSphere MQ queues for WebSphere Application Server..

Installing WebSphere Business Integration adapters

For information on installing WebSphere Business Integration adapter products, refer to the Installation Guide for WebSphere Business Integration Adapters, located in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Infocenter at the following site:

http://www.ibm.com/websphere/integration/wbiadapters/infocenter

Installing plug-ins for WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition

To use WebSphere Application Server as the integration broker with WebSphere Business Integration adapters, you must add certain plug-ins to your existing installation of WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition. The plug-ins are copied to your system when you run the installer for the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework (see "Installing WebSphere Business Integration adapters". The Adapter Framework installer copies the following plug-ins to the location that you specify:

\plugins\com.ibm.btools.adaptermonitor
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.adaptermonitor.help
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.csm
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.csm.help
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.ae.settings
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.codeGen
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.cwconverter
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.datamanager

\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.msg.importer
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.wsdlgen

In order for the installer to copy the plug-in files to the correct location on your system, you should already have WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Editions installed, before you run the Adapter Framework installer. For general instructions about installing WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, consult the documentation that is available for that product through the Infocenter.
