Installing the Integration Bus component

Use the installation wizard to install the Integration Bus component.

Read the topic on Preparing for installation and perform the tasks that are described in Preparing the system.
Complete the following tasks to install the Integration Bus component on all supported operating systems.
Note: In all cases, the installation log files are only available after you have exited the installer.

If you are installing the Integration Bus component on Windows, you can use the LaunchPad to complete this task. For more information, see Installing by using the Windows Launchpad.

Also, you can install IBM Integration Bus components and prerequisite products in silent mode on Linux, UNIX, and Windows. For more information, see Installing IBM Integration Bus components and prerequisite products by using the sample script file.

If you do not want to use the LaunchPad or the sample script file, complete the tasks in this topic instead.

The following list identifies the choices that you have for installing the Integration Bus component, and the actions that you must take to complete your chosen task:

  1. Check the readme.html for any updates to these installation instructions. The readme file location is shown in System requirements.
  2. Check that you have enough memory and disk space; see Memory and disk space requirements.
  3. If you do not already have WebSphere® MQ installed, install it before you install the Integration Bus component.

    Although you can install WebSphere MQ after you have installed the Integration Bus component, the installation wizard checks that you have the supported level of WebSphere MQ, or later, installed. If this check fails when you are using the graphical or console interface, the installation wizard displays a warning that lists potential problems. If you decide to continue, you must complete the installation of WebSphere MQ before you create or start any brokers.

    If you start the installer by using the silent interface and WebSphere MQ is not installed, or WebSphere MQ is installed but it is not at the prerequisite level, the Integration Bus component installs without displaying the prerequisite warning. You must therefore ensure that you have the prerequisite installation of WebSphere MQ installed before you create or start any brokers.

  4. Decide if you want to install from a remote server, or to install locally on each system. These choices are described in Accessing DVDs for DVDs and for installation images that you can download from Passport Advantage®. The instructions here do not differentiate between DVDs and downloaded images because the behavior is the same.
  5. Decide whether to use the graphical installation, a console installation, or a silent installation. For more information about these interfaces, see How to install and uninstall the Integration Bus component.
  6. Determine the installation wizard name for your operating system. For more information, see Installation wizard names.
  7. Start the installation wizard graphical interface locally or remotely.
    1. To install locally, load the product DVD, then complete the following steps:
      Linux and UNIX
      Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of the DVD. Type the installation wizard name with no options, and press Enter.
      Windows
      Take one of the following actions:
      • If autorun is enabled, the Launchpad is started immediately. To use the Launchpad, see Installing by using the Windows Launchpad. To cancel the Launchpad, click Exit Launchpad.
      • In Windows Explorer, navigate to the root directory of the DVD. Locate the installation wizard and double-click the wizard to start it.
      • Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of the DVD. Type the installation wizard name with no options, and press Enter.
    2. To install from a remote server, access the remote DVD drive or network drive on which the product media is available. Find the installation wizard on the DVD or network drive and start it as previously described.
  8. When the wizard starts, navigate through the windows and provide input when requested. You must also read and accept the Software License Agreement.
    If the directory that you specify for installation already contains a previous version of WebSphere Message Broker, for example; Version 8.0.0.2, the installation wizard prevents you from installing Version 9.0 in this location. You must specify a different location. You can then migrate components to Version 9.0 from the previous version, when appropriate.
    Linux and UNIX only
    The IBM Integration ODBC Database Extender SupportPac automatically installs in silent mode when the installation of the Integration Bus component completes. For more information, see Installing the IBM Integration ODBC Database Extender.
  9. When the summary window displays, check your choices and click Next to complete the installation. A progress bar displays so that you can check on progress.
  10. If you experience problems during installation, see Resolving problems when installing.
When the installation has completed, see the following topics:
