Before you begin
If you have previously installed the IBM Integration feature and you want
to update it, see Applying service to IBM Integration Administration for WebSphere Application Server.
For
more information about the versions of WebSphere Application
Server supported by this feature,
see the Prerequisites under the detailed system requirements for each
supported platform, see
IBM Integration Bus system
requirements.
Ensure
that
IBM Installation
Manager is installed and configured.
If you are working with
WebSphere Application
Server Version
7.0, you must complete the following steps before you install the
IBM Integration feature:
- Install IBM Installation
Manager
- Configure links to product and service repositories in IBM Installation
Manager
- Import the WebSphere Application
Server installation
into IBM Installation

and on installing features, in the
WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0
product documentation online.
About this task
Install the
IBM Integration Administration
package onto your
WebSphere Application
Server system
by pointing
IBM Installation
Manager at the
WebSphere Application
Server repository file that
is included in your
IBM Integration installation.
Two repository files are included:
- wmb.admin.repository.zip. This is the base
version of the package.
- wmb.admin.repository_updates.zip. This file
contains updates to the package.
Note: Add one or both packages
to the IBM Installation
Manager repositories list,
as described below. You must add the base repository at a minimum.
If you want to install the latest updates, but you do not want IBM Installation
Manager to retrieve them automatically
from an external IBM location,
then clear the Search service repositories during
installation and updates check box and use the
update package supplied with your installation.
Procedure
To install the IBM Integration Administration
package, complete the following steps:
- Stop the WebSphere Application
Server server.
Navigate to the install_root/bin or install_root\bin directory,
where install_root is the root installation directory
for WebSphere Application
Server. On a command
line, enter the following command:
server1 is the name of the application
server.
profileName identifies the profile
of the server process in a multi-profile installation. This parameter
is not required for a single-profile installation.
- Open IBM Installation
Manager.
For example, on Windows,
click .
- Add one or both IBM Integration repository locations to
the IBM Installation
Manager list of repositories.
- On the IBM Installation
Manager main
panel, click .
- Click Repositories and then Add
repository.
- Click Browse and then navigate
to the location of the IBM Integration repositories.
You can copy the repositories onto your local machine or access them
through a shared drive. The files are installed as part of your IBM Integration Bus installation at the following
location:
- On Windows: install_dir\server\tools\wmb.admin.repository.zip
- On Linux, UNIX, and z/OS®: install_dir/server/tools/wmb.admin.repository.zip
install_dir is
the location of your IBM Integration Bus installation.
A
file called wmb.admin.zos.tar is also installed
at the same location as wmb.admin.repository.zip.
To administer integration node resources from WebSphere Application
Server on z/OS, you must copy this file onto
the z/OS, system. See Installing the IBM Integration feature: z/OS.
- Select the repository file and click Open.
- Select the check box beside the IBM Integration repository file and clear
all other repository file selections. If you do not want
Installation Manager to retrieve updates automatically from an external IBM website then ensure that the Search
service repositories during installation and updates check
box is deselected.
- Click OK.
- Install the IBM Integration installation
package
- On the main IBM Installation
Manager panel,
click Install. The Install Packages
panel is opened.
- On the Install panel, select packages to install. Select the installation package that matches your version of WebSphere Application
Server, and click Next.
- On the Licenses panel, review and accept the product
license. Click I accept the terms in the license
agreement. Click Next.
- If you see a message about running processes that might
interfere with the current operation, you must stop the processes
before the installation can continue.
- On the Location panel, click Use the existing
package group, and select IBM WebSphere Application
Server versionName from
the list of Package Group Names, where versionName is
the version of your WebSphere Application
Server installation. If you select any other package group, an error message is displayed
to say that the product cannot coexist with the selected package group.
Click Next.
- On the Features panel, select the features to install. There is only one feature for this installation package. Select
the IBM Integration Bus Administration
feature and click Next.
- On the Summary panel, review the installation summary
and click Install to start the installation.
- When the installation is complete, review the installation
log, and click Finish. You are prompted
to use the manageprofiles command to augment your WebSphere Application
Server profile; see Configuring IBM Integration Administration for WebSphere Application Server.
What to do next
Now that you have installed the
IBM Integration Bus package, configure the administration
run time by using the
WebSphere Application
Server manageprofiles command.
