Installing WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET without the installation program

[Version 8.6.0.2 and later] If you do not have permission to run the setup.exe file, you can copy files from an existing installation to another Windows system.

Before you begin

You must have a completed installation of WebSphere® eXtreme Scale Client for .NET from which you can copy files. For more information, see Installing WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET overview.

About this task

If you do not have permission to run the setup.exe file on your client server, you can copy files from an existing WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET to the runtime directory of your .NET application.

Warning: Automatic upgrades and migration are available with the WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET installation program only. If you use the following procedure to install the product, manual upgrades and migrations are required.

Procedure

From your WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET installation, copy the following files onto the target Windows system. The target Windows system directory must be the runtime directory of the process that runs the .NET application for your data grid. This process must have read and write access to the target directory. Log files are generated in a logs folder under this directory.
- <Runtime Directory>\bin\IBM.WebSphere.Caching.dll
- <Runtime Directory>\bin\IBM.WebSphere.Caching.CredentialGenerator.dll (Required only if the WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET application is configured to use the provided credential generator.)
- <Runtime Directory>\config\Client.Net.properties
- <Runtime Directory>\config\Client.Net.Log.config
Optional: Manually install the IBM.WebSphere.Caching.dll assembly into the global assembly cache (GAC). The exact procedure to install the GAC varies depending on the Windows environment.
