WebSphere WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Version 6.0.1 Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows

Installing additional features on WebSphere ESB

You can install additional features on an existing installation of WebSphere ESB using the installation wizard graphical user interface (GUI).

Before you begin

Before adding additional features to your installation of WebSphere ESB you must ensure that:

Why and when to perform this task

The installation steps in this topic assume installation from product CDs. If you plan to install from images obtained from Passport Advantage, see Special considerations when installing from Passport Advantage for important information.

Steps for this task

  1. Select the product CD labelled WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Version 6.0.1, CD 1 for your platform and insert it into the drive.
  2. If the Launchpad does not start automatically, then:
    • LINUX platforms UNIX platforms On Linux and UNIX platforms: Mount the drive, then run the command mount_point/launchpad.sh where mount_point is the mount point on the Linux or UNIX system.
    • For Windows platforms On Windows platforms: From the root directory of the CD drive, run the command launchpad.exe .

    The Launchpad is displayed. The Launchpad provides links to the installation wizards and to sources of information.

  3. From the Launchpad, click WebSphere ESB installation.
  4. Click Launch the installation wizard. The Welcome panel is displayed.
  5. Click Next to continue. The License Agreement panel is displayed.
  6. Read the license agreement and, if you agree, select I accept the terms in the license agreement then click Next to continue.

    The installation wizard checks for a supported operating system with prerequisite patches. During the check, the Checking Prerequisites panel is displayed. At the end of the process, this panel indicates whether your system passed the check.

    If you do not have a supported operating system or the required prerequisite patches on your system, cancel the installation, make the required changes, and restart the installation. Otherwise continue with step 7.

  7. On the Checking Prerequisites panel, click Next to continue.

    The installation wizard checks for existing installations of WebSphere ESB or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.0.x. This procedure assumes that you have an existing installation of WebSphere ESB on your system. In this case, an Existing Installation Detected panel is displayed.

    Important: The installer will also detect unregistered instances of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.0.x, if they have entries in the .WASRegistry file. Using an unregistered installation with your Websphere ESB installation is not supported.
  8. The Existing Installation Detected panel lets you choose to install a new installation of WebSphere ESB to coexist with the current one, to add features to an existing installation, or to add profiles to an existing installation. For this procedure, select Add features to an existing installation of WebSphere ESB. Select the installation of WebSphere ESB to which you want to add features, and clickNext.

    The Feature Selection panel is displayed.

  9. Select the features you want to install and clickNext. Features that are already installed have the text (installed) beside them.
    Important: Unchecking an installed feature will not cause it to be uninstalled.
    See Product components for descriptions of the features that can be selected from this panel.

    The Installation Summary panel is displayed, which details the components that will be installed, the amount of space they will consume, and where they will be located on the system.

  10. Review the summary information and click Next to install the product code, Back to change your options or Cancel to quit the installation wizard.
    The disk space shown on the Installation Summary panel includes space for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Subtract the size of the JVM for your operating system to determine the installed size on disk for the features that you selected.
    Table 1. JVM sizes
    AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows
    59 MB pa-risc: 109 MB

    64 bit: 137 MB

    ia32: 83 MB

    64 bit: 133 MB

    81 MB ia32: 75 MB

    64 bit: 71 MB

    Verify that you have the total amount of free space shown before installing. Space is required for a working copy of the JVM during the installation.

    The installation wizard shows a progress panel to indicate that components are being installed and creates the uninstaller program. At the end of the installation, the Installation Complete panel is displayed.
    Attention: If errors are detected during installation, other panels might be displayed in place of the Installation Complete panel. For example:
    • Installation Is Complete With Errors panel, which indicates that installation completed but errors were generated.
    • Installation Failed panel, which indicates that installation failed completely.
    Each of these panels point you to the log file, which contains more details to help you to resolve the errors.
  11. If the Installation Complete panel is displayed at the end of product installation, do one of the following:
    • To create a new profile, leave the check box beside Launch the Profile Wizard selected and click Next. The installation wizard closes and the Profile wizard is launched. See Creating and augmenting profiles using the Profile wizard for instructions on how to use this wizard to create new WebSphere ESB profiles or augment existing application server profiles into WebSphere ESB profiles.
    • If you do not want to create a new profile, clear the check box beside Launch the Profile Wizard and clickNext. The Installation Complete panel is displayed with a check box to launch the First Steps console. Ensure that this check box is selected and click Finish to close the installation wizard and launch the First Steps console.
    If the Installation Complete panel is displayed at the end of the procedure, the additional features were installed successfully.
