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:
- you have an installation of WebSphere ESB on
your system. You do not have to have an existing WebSphere ESB profile
to install additional features on an installation.
- you are installing the features as the root user on a Linux or UNIX system,
or as a member of the Administrator group on a Windows system.
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
- Select the product CD labelled WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus,
Version 6.0.1, CD 1 for your platform and insert it into the drive.
- If the Launchpad does not start automatically, then:
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.
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.
- From the Launchpad, click WebSphere ESB installation.
- Click Launch the installation wizard. The
Welcome panel is displayed.
- Click Next to continue. The License Agreement
panel is displayed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
- 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.
