Documentation

Note that the online help contains a significant number of important updates.

Installation

1. During a Quick Installation, information will need to be entered for creating a WebSphere Commerce instance. When creating a WebSphere Commerce instance during a Quick Installation, ensure that double byte characters are not used in the instance name.

2. Before beginning a Quick Installation, ensure that TCP/IP port 1099 is not already in use on your iSeries system. To check this, do the
   following:
   1. From the iSeries command line, type the following: netstat *cnn
   2. On the Work with TCP/IP Connection Status screen, ensure that port 1099 is not listed (be sure to page through the whole listing).
   3. If port 1099 is in use, it will need to be stopped before Quick Installation is started.
3. The installation of WebSphere Commerce Version 5.5 will create an entry in the License Information table on your iSeries system.
   To change the information for the WebSphere Commerce Version 5.5 product, do the following:
   1. From the iSeries command line, type the following: WRKLICINF
   2. Scroll down to PRODUCT 5724A18 and type a 2 in the OPT field
   3. In the USGLMT field, change the value to the number of processors that you are licensed for.
   4. Press ENTER. Further parameters will be shown.
   5. Alter these additional parameters if necessary.
   6. Press ENTER to accept the changes.
4. For all users following the IBM WebSphere Commerce for eServer iSeries Quick Beginnings, you can ensure that WebSphere Commerce is installed on your iSeries using iSeries Navigator. Do the following steps to view entries in iSeries Navigator:
   1. On a Windows PC where iSeries Access is installed, click Start > Programs > IBM iSeries Access for Windows > iSeries Navigator
   2. In the iSeries Navigator window, expand Management Central > Endpoint Systems
   3. Right click on the iSeries system and click Inventory > Collect
   4. A new window opens. Ensure that Software is checked. Click OK to start the collection.
   5. Expand Management Central > Task Activity > Inventory
   6. In the right hand panel, a task for your iSeries system should be listed. Use the F5 key until the Status shows 'Completed'.
   7. Click Management Central > Endpoint Systems > iSeries system > Configuration and Service > Software Inventory > Installed Products

   The right hand panel will show a listing of products. Scroll to the bottom where the WebSphere Commerce entries are shown.
   For further details on this procedure, refer to the IBM WebSphere Commerce for eServer iSeries Installation Guide for OS/400 Version 5.5.

5. If you are performing a Quick Installation with a double-byte language, and using the InstallShield MultiPlatform Professional (ISMP) console mode installation, it may report that the Commerce and/or Payments instances were not created successfully when, in fact, they have been. To verify if the instances were created successfully, search the following files for the word "SUCCESS":
   
   /QIBM/UserData/CommerceServer55/instances/WC_CMQuickConfig.log
   /QIBM/UserData/CommerceServer55/instances/PM_CMQuickConfig.log
6. If you are using the IBM WebSphere Commerce for eServer iSeries Quick Beginnings, the installation of WebSphere Commerce Version 5.5 will also install WebSphere Application Server. The installation of WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 will also install the WebSphere MQ classes for Java (5639C34) on your iSeries system if it is not already installed. The installation of the WebSphere MQ classes for Java 5639C34 will fail if your iSeries has subsystem QMQM active. Ensure that subsystem QMQM is ended prior to starting an installation of WebSphere Commerce and WebSphere Application Server.

PTF installation

After installing WebSphere Commerce Version 5.5, the latest WebSphere Application Server Group PTF will need to be applied to your iSeries system. WebSphere Commerce Version 5.5 requires WebSphere Application Server to be at level of 5.0.1 or higher.
Details of WebSphere Application for iSeries PTFs can be found at the following URL: www.as400.ibm.com/websphere

1. Once you have navigated to the site, from the left side, click PTFs.
2. Under PTF Information, select the appropriate WebSphere Edition to view information for WebSphere Group PTFs, other Group PTFs and Additional PTFs.
3. Through normal PTF ordering processes, order the applicable Group PTF depending on the implementation of WebSphere Application Server you are running:
   SF99246 - WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
   SF99245 - WebSphere Application Server
   
   Note: Group PTF Level 2 or higher should be ordered. The installation of the WebSphere Group PTF will require an IPL of the system.

Also, after the installation of WebSphere Commerce Version 5.5, other OS/400 product PTFs may be required. Refer to the website below for a listing of required individual PTFs and ensure these PTFs are applied to your iSeries system.
