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...

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.
