Evaluation installation
The quickest way of getting started with WSRR is to use an evaluation installation.
Evaluation installation completes the following tasks:
- Installs Installation Manager
- Installs WebSphere® Application Server
- Installs DB2® Express® Edition (Windows or systems)
- Installs WSRR
- Creates a stand-alone server profile
- Starts the server
- Loads and activates a configuration profile
On Windows and Linux (Intel), the WSRR 8.5.5 eImage comes in two parts (labelled part 1 and part 2). You must extract the two parts into the same directory before running the installer.
Note: Evaluation installation is
supported only on Windows and
Linux. To install WSRR on Solaris or AIX, you must select
Custom install after starting the launchpad. See Custom installation. To install on Linux, you must first prepare your system, see
