Start of changeTo install RAC 6.0.1 from the supplemental CD or DVD supplied with WebSphere Message Broker, refer to install.html supplied in the root directory of the RAC component on the CD or DVD. In addition to the instructions in install.html take note of the following points:
  • On the Java Runtime Environment page of the installation wizard, you must specify the location of the Java runtime file (java.exe). RAC requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) as a prerequisite, do not specify the JRE installed with WebSphere Message Broker for this purpose, you must use an alternative JRE.
  • On the Security page of the installation wizard, specify whether RAC will require encrypted and authenticated communications. If security is disabled, only the host list is used to control access to RAC. If security is enabled, clients are only able to connect to RAC if they contain the necessary certificates to authenticate RAC for Secure Socket Communications. Also, all clients are required to login to RAC for debugging broker flows.
