Decide whether to install into an existing WebSphere Application Server instance
You can install a new instance of WebSphere Application Server as part of the installation process.
Alternately, if you already have a supported version of WAS installed, you can reuse it, and either create new profiles or augment existing profiles. IBM BPM supports only augmentation of...
- dmgr and stand-alone profiles
- managed node profiles that have not yet been federated to a dmgr
With existing WAS instances, the option to perform a typical or silent installation with the command line or a response file are not available. To generate a custom installation guide for a typical or silent installation, install a new WAS instance.
If installing a new instance of WAS as a nonadministrative or nonroot user, that installation is available to only that user and not other users on the system.
