Installing service on Windows

Apply maintenance updates and program fixes to the Integration Bus component.

Before you start:

Download the required update package for the IBM® Integration Bus component, as described in Applying service to the Integration Bus component.
Check that your user ID has the correct authority to complete this task; see Installation and uninstallation authorization for details.

Fix packs are supplied as self-extracting executable programs. Complete the following steps to install the updates that you have downloaded:

Note: A fix pack can be installed on a system that does not have a previous version of IIB. In this situation the license files that are provided with GA installation media must be made available. These are available on the DVD media or the download media from Passport Advantage in a directory named license. When performing a graphical or console installation, the installer will prompt the user to supply the location of the license directory. When performing a silent installation, the location of the license directory should be supplied using the flag -DExternal_License_Path=<path to licenses>, or using the property External_License_Path=<path to licenses> in the response file.

Check that your user ID has the correct authority to install service for the Integration Bus component. The requirements are defined in Installation and uninstallation authorization.
Ensure that all IBM Integration Bus function is stopped:
1. Stop all brokers on this computer by using the mqsistop command, or by stopping the Windows services for these components from Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Close all instances of the IBM Integration Explorer.
3. Close all instances of the IBM Integration Toolkit.
4. Check that all files associated with IBM Integration Bus are closed.
Close all Windows programs before applying maintenance to the IBM Integration Bus component to ensure that data is not lost.
Run the fix pack self-extracting program from either Windows Explorer or the command line.
The program is referred to as FixPackLauncher and its name is in the form V.R.M-prod-platform-fixpack.exe. Where V.R.M-prod represents the version, release, and modification level of the product, -platform identifies the platform, and -fixpack identifies the fix pack.
For example, the file name 9.0.0-WS-MB-WINIA32-FP0001.exe identifies the file for Fix Pack 1 on Version 9.0.0 of IBM Integration Bus on Windows.
- If you start this program from Windows Explorer, or you start it from the command line with no options, the FixPackLauncher runs with default options. It extracts the updates from the fix pack file, and starts the graphical interface of the IBM Integration Bus installation wizard.
- If you run the wizard from the command line with options, you can choose the interface that you want to use, and how the IBM Integration Bus installation wizard runs.
  For further details about how you can install, and other options that you can specify, see Installation and uninstallation interfaces and How to install and uninstall the Integration Bus component.
  
  If you start this wizard from a directory other than the one in which the file is saved, you must include the fully qualified path of the file and its name.
  Graphical interface
  Use the following command format:
```
FixPackLauncher -i swing
```
  gui specifies that you want to use the graphical interface of the installation program. The graphical interface is used by default if you specify only FixPackLauncher.
  For example, you can use either of the following commands:
  9.0.0-WS-MB-WINIA32-FP0001.exe
  
  9.0.0-WS-MB-WINIA32-FP0001.exe -i swing
  Console interface
  Use the following command format:
```
FixPackLauncher -i console
```
  console specifies that you want to use the console interface of the installation program. You must specify this option if you want the installation to use this interface.
  For example:
  9.0.0-WS-MB-WINIA32-FP0001.exe -i console
  Silent interface
  Use the following command format. In this example, LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE is specified, which means that the license has been accepted. By using this command you are accepting the terms of the license agreement:
```
FixPackLauncher –i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR
=installation_directory
```
  silent specifies that you want to use the silent interface of the installation program. You must specify this option if you want the installation to use this interface. Where installation_directory is your chosen installation directory or the default installation directory for your platform. For more information about the default installation directories for distributed operating systems, see Coexistence and migration.
  
  If you do not specify a response file, the default options are used from the supplied response file. If you want to tailor the options to suit your installation requirements, create your own response file and specify its location on the command.
  
  For example, to run both the extractor program and the IBM Integration Bus installation program silently with a response file, enter the following command:
```
FixPackLauncher –i silent -f response_file_name
```
If you use the graphical or console interface of the IBM Integration Bus installation program, follow the prompts given and provide any input that is required to complete the installation.
If you run the fix pack installation program or the IBM Integration Bus installation program silently, check the installation log to ensure that the process was successful. File IBM_Integration_Bus_InstallLog.log is stored in your installation directory.
If you accepted the default location during installation, this directory is as follows. The default directory includes the version, release, modification, and fix of the product that you are installing in the format v.r.m.f (version.release.modification.fix):
Linux

/opt/ibm/mqsi/v.r.m.f

UNIX

/opt/IBM/mqsi/v.r.m.f

Windows 32-bit

C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f

Windows 64-bit

C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f for the 64-bit version of IBM Integration Bus

C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f for the 32-bit version of IBM Integration Bus

These locations define the default value of install_dir on each platform.
When installation has successfully completed, review the release notes that are supplied in the directory readmes, and complete any manual post-installation tasks that are required.
Optional: Change the function level of your brokers to enable the use of new functionality that is supplied in the latest fix pack; see Changing the function level of your broker.
Restart the brokers by using the mqsistart command.
