Installing

See Finding the latest information for details about how to check that you have access to the most recent information available.

The Installation Guide defines hardware and software requirements for IBM Integration Bus and its corequisite and prerequisite products. It describes the tasks that you must complete to prepare for installation, to install IBM Integration Bus, and to verify the installation. When you have completed installation, use this information center to create and configure your components and brokers.

If product fixes or updates are made available, refer to the following topics for information about how to apply these changes:

• Applying service to the Integration Bus component
• Applying service to the IBM Integration Toolkit
• Applying service to the IBM Integration Explorer
• Applying service to IBM Integration Administration for WebSphere Application Server

You do not have to apply service to the runtime components and the IBM Integration Toolkit at the same time; all Version 9.0 fix pack levels are compatible with all other fix pack levels. However, if a fix pack delivers additional nodes, you must ensure that the IBM Integration Toolkit and the brokers to which you deploy the message flows that include these nodes are at the same fix pack level, and that you have set the correct function level of those brokers by using the -f flag on the mqsichangebroker command.
