1.1.0.3: WebSphere Application Server Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile V1.1

Installation Instructions

WebSphere Application Server V8.0 Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile

WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile is the first Web 2.0 and Mobile Feature Pack version installable through IBM Installation Manager. IBM Installation Manager is a single installation program that can use remote or local software flat-file repositories to install, modify, or update new WebSphere Application Server products. It determines and shows available packages—including products, fix packs, interim fixes, and so on—checks prerequisites and interdependencies, and installs the selected packages. You also use Installation Manager to easily uninstall the packages that it installed. For detailed installation instructions you can visit this Infocenter link. For additional fix pack installation instructions, refer to the Readme file included in the fix central download link.

To install Fix Pack 1.1.0.3 using a local repository, you need to download the ZIP file listed in the Download Package section below and then point Installation Manager to repository.xml file on your local machine. The steps below require that you have already installed a previous version of the Web 2.0 and Mobile Feature Pack.

To add the repository:

1. Start Installation Manager.
2. In the top menu, click File > Preferences.
3. Select Repositories.
4. Click Add Repository.
5. Enter the path to the repository.xml file in the location containing the repository files.

• This is a sample path for a local repository on Windows operating system:C:\repositories\product_name\local-repositories
• This is a sample path for a local repository on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris operating system:/var/repositories/product_name/local-repositories

1. Stop all application server processes, the nodeagent process, the deployment manager process, and all server processes that belong to serviceable products, such as the IBM HTTP Server. Stop all Java processes, if necessary. The product might not continue to operate successfully if attempts to install Fix Pack 1.1.0.3 while a WebSphere Application Server-related Java processes are still running.
   
   
2. Download the latest available Update Installer version from the Update Installer version 7.0 download page. Extract the downloaded Update Installer package to a temporary directory. Navigate into the UpdateInstaller subdirectory which was extracted in the previous step. Install the Update Installer by running the install or install.exe executable. Update Installer version 7.0.0.19 or later is required to install Web 2.0 and Mobile fix packs for WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
   
   
3. Obtain downloadable maintenance packages (1.1.0.3) from the links below.
   Tip:Do not attempt to unpack the *.pak file. If your browser changes the download package from *.pak file to *.zip, do not attempt to unzip the package. Instead, rename the file to *.pak and proceed to the next step without unzipping the renamed *.pak file.
   
   
4. Download the packages into the update installer maintenance directory:
   
   

updi_install_root/maintenance

5. To install downloaded maintenance packages, refer to instructions found in the Update Installer installation documentation directory:
   
   

updi_install_root/docs/readme_updateinstaller.html

Additional instructions can be found in the V7.0 Information Center, Installing maintenance packages. Installation instructions are summarized and repeated here for convenience only, refer to the preceding official published sources.

6. Open a command shell window and change directories to the updi_install_root install location of the V7.0 Update Installer.
   
   

cd updi_install_root

7. Use the update command to install the maintenance package that you downloaded into updi_install_root/maintenance directory.
