This section describes how to start the installation of the Message
Service clients from the WebSphere ESB Launchpad.
Before you begin
Before you install the Message Service clients with WebSphere ESB you
must:
- Ensure that your system meets all the hardware and software requirements.
See http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wsesb/sysreqs.
- Ensure that you are logged on as root on a Linux system, or as a member
of the Administrator group on a Windows system.
- If you are installing the Message Service clients from CD, ensure that
you have the disk labeled IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus CD2 for your
platform. If you are installing the Message Service clients from another location,
ensure that you know the location of the contents of CD2.
Why and when to perform this task
This topic provides information about installing the following
Message Service clients with
WebSphere ESB on
Linux or Windows platforms.
- Message Service Client for C/C++
- Message Service Client for .NET
- Web Services Client for C++
This task assumes that you have already opened the WebSphere ESB Launchpad
as described in Installing WebSphere ESB for the first time.
Steps for this task
- From the Launchpad, open the installation wizard for the client
that you are installing. To open the wizard, select the following options:
- On the Welcome page, click Message service clients
installation.
- On the Message service clients installation page, click the
name of the client that you want to install, for example IBM Message
Service Client for C/C++.
- On the installation page for the selected client, select the
option for launching the installation wizard. For example, to start the wizard
for Message Service Client for C/C++, click Launch
the installation wizard for Message Service Client for C/C++.
At this point, you may be prompted to enter the location of the
disk labeled IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus CD2 for your platform. If
this prompt appears, complete step 2 before
continuing with step 3.
Note that this prompt does not appear if you are installing from a location
that has the contents of IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus CD1 and CD2
in peer subdirectories.
- If you are prompted to enter the location of CD2 for
your platform:
- If you have the disk, insert it in the drive and click OK.
- If you are installing from another location, enter the location of the
contents of CD2 and click OK.
The installation wizard displays a welcome message
and you are now ready to begin installing the selected client.
- Install the client by completing one of the following
tasks:
What to do next
If you are using the administered JMS objects provided by WebSphere ESB with Message Service Clients for C/C++ and .NET, you must
configure the JNDILookup Web Service that WebSphere ESB provides
to enable non-Java clients to access administered JMS objects from a non-Java
environment.
