Installing another WebSphere ESB

You can install another WebSphere ESB to coexist with an existing installation using the installation wizard graphical user interface (GUI).

Before you begin

Before installing another 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 CD-ROM 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 System Prerequisite Check panel is displayed and the installation wizard checks for a supported operating system with prerequisite patches. 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 System Prerequisite Check 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. Select Install a new copy of WebSphere ESB and clickNext. A Warning panel is displayed which outlines considerations you must make when installing the product to coexist with an existing installation of WebSphere ESB.
  9. Click Next to continue. A Warning panel is displayed which outlines considerations you must make when installing the product on a system on which an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment already exists.
  10. Click Next to continue. The Installation Location panel is displayed.
  11. Accept the default installation root directory for WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment (which is installed silently with WebSphere ESB), or specify a different directory, and click Next. See Default installation paths for the default directories used by the Installation wizard on all supported platforms.
    Note:
    • The default root directory field must not be blank.
    • Non-ASCII special characters in directory names are not supported.
    • LINUX platforms UNIX platforms On Linux and UNIX platforms: Do not use symbolic links as the destination directory, they are not supported. Also, do not use spaces in the installation directory path.
    • LINUX platforms On Linux platforms: The installation directory path is limited to 256 characters.
    • For Windows platforms On Windows platforms: The installation directory path is limited to 60 characters.

    The Feature Selection panel is displayed.

  12. Select the features you want to install and click Next. 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.
  13. 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 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.
  14. 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 server 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. In this case, a warning panel is displayed, which explains that without a profile there is no operational server. Do one of the following:
      • Click Back for another chance to launch the Profile wizard.
      • Click Next.
      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.
    Attention: To have an operational environment, a WebSphere ESB stand-alone profile or deployment manager profile with managed nodes must exist.

What to do next

If the Installation Complete panel is displayed at the end of the procedure, WebSphere ESB was installed successfully.
