Installing interactively on an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server on Solaris

Using custom installation, you can install IBM® Business Process Manager on an existing installation of WebSphere® Application Server.

1. Access the media in one of the following ways, depending on whether you are installing from the product DVD or from images downloaded from Passport Advantage®. You can run only one launchpad at a time.
   • If you are installing from the product DVD, insert the product disk labeled IBM Business Process Manager Advanced into the disk drive. Mount the disk drive if necessary. If autorun is enabled on your workstation, the launchpad program automatically opens, and you can proceed to the next step. If autorun is not enabled on your workstation, enter the following command to start the launchpad manually:
     • mount_point/launchpad.sh
   • If you are installing from images downloaded from Passport Advantage, perform the following steps:
     1. Go to the directory into which you extracted the images.
     2. Enter the following command to start the launchpad:
        • extract_directory/launchpad.sh
2. Optional: If you see a message that prompts you to update the launchpad, click Update to receive the latest updates. The updates are installed and your launchpad is restarted automatically.
   If you do not have access to the Internet and want updates to the launchpad to be installed from a local directory, you can use a properties file to tell the Installation Manager where to find the updates. Create the following file:

   • /home/user/bpm_updates.properties

   Note: Ensure that you have read/write access to the folders specified in the bpm_updates.properties file.
   The file uses a launchpad prefix, followed by a dot. The part of the name after the prefix and the dot can be anything you want, which enables you to point to multiple locations for launchpad upgrades. The locations can be either local directories or URLs. For example:

   ifix.1=/bpmUpdates
   fixpack.2=http://test/rep
   launchpad.1=/launchpad_updates
   fixpack.WAS_REP=/WAS_updates
   fixpack.BPM_REP=/BPM_updates

3. After starting the launchpad, click Custom installation on the Welcome page.
4. Click Installation on an existing WebSphere Application Server.
5. Click Install as administrative user to install as an administrative user. If you are a root user, you can install as an administrative user. If you are not a root user, or if you want to install to your own user name without root privileges, clear this check box.
6. Click Update to update WebSphere Application Server. When Installation Manager opens, click Update to install available updates. On the Update Packages page, select Show all to display available updates.
7. Click Install.
8. On the Install Packages page of the Installation Manager, select the IBM Business Process Manager Advanced package. Clear the check box beside WebSphere Application Server.
9. Click Next to continue. You are prompted to provide your IBM ID and password to connect to the IBM service repositories.

   The connection to the service repositories is required to download and install any fix packs and required interim fixes from the Internet, including fixes for WebSphere Application Server and IBM Business Process Manager. An IBM ID and password can be obtained by registering at http://www.ibm.com.

   Important: Ensure that you install the mandatory interim fix for APAR JR44669 before you configure and load data into the databases. Otherwise, future interim fixes, fix packs, or refresh packs might not install properly for databases configured as part of this installation. For more information, see Required interim fix for APAR JR44669. To download the fix, see Required interim fixes for IBM Business Process Manager.

   You can click Cancel to continue installing without downloading the required fixes from the Internet. After successfully installing the product, you can use Installation Manager to install the required fixes. See Installing the required fixes for the IBM Business Process Manager V8.0 products and IBM Business Monitor V8.0 for more information about downloading and installing the required fixes.

10. On the Licenses page, read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms of the license agreement, click I accept the terms in the license agreements and click Next.
11. On the Location page, the Create new package group option is selected by default. Select a location for the shared resources directory and a location for the Installation Manager and click Next. The Install Packages wizard checks your system for operating system prerequisites. If you are at a higher major release of a supported operating system, or if the operating system itself is not on the supported list, you might encounter a warning. You can continue with the installation, but the installation or product operation might not succeed until you apply maintenance.

    If you see a warning, go to the product support web pages and obtain the latest maintenance packages to apply after installation. See the documentation for non-IBM prerequisite and corequisite products to learn how to migrate to their supported versions.

12. On the Features page, expand the plus symbol to select the package features that you want to install. Installation Manager automatically enforces any dependencies with other features and shows the updated download size and disk space requirements for the installation.
    1. Optional: To see the dependency relationships between features, select Show Dependencies.
    2. Optional: Click a feature to view its brief description under Details.
    3. Optional: If you are installing Process Server, you can expand the Process Server feature and change the Process Server use. Select "Production" (the default) to use the server in production, or "Non-production" to use the server only for test, staging, or development. Your selection is recorded in the product tag for inventory purposes.
       Restriction: Do not mix production and non-production servers in the same cell.
    When you are finished selecting features, click Next.
13. On the Summary page, review your choices before installing the IBM Business Process Manager Advanced package. If you want to change the choices that you made on previous pages, click Back and make your changes. When you are satisfied with your installation choices, click Install to install the package. A progress indicator shows the percentage of the installation completed.
14. When the installation process is complete, a message confirms the success of the process.
    1. Optional: Click View Log File to open the installation log file for the current session in a new window. You must close the Installation Log window to continue.
    2. Select Profile Management Tool if you want to run the Profile Management Tool when you finish or select None to complete the installation.
    3. Click Finish to close the Installation Manager.
