Overview

This topic describes how to install the IBM WAS ND, V6.x product on a Windows operating system.

Before using this topic to prepare for installing the ND product, decide the sort of topology you want to install and prepare your operating system. See the following topics for more information:

• Plan to install ND
• Prepare Windows systems for installation

Log on as a member of the administrator group to successfully install the product. Creating a Windows service for the server1 process requires you to have the following advanced user right:

Act as part of the operating system

During the procedure, you can assign another ID or the one you are using to install as the user who will log on the Windows service. That user requires the advanced user right:

Log on as a service

However, if you do not have this advanced user right or if the user ID that is to log on the Windows service does not have the advanced user right, the Installation wizard assigns the advanced right to the user.

After verifying prerequisites, verifying the product disc, and setting your installation goals, you can start installing. Use one of the following links to open the installation procedure that you require. Then install the ND product on your operating system.

 

Procedure

• Perform a custom installation.

  The custom installation lets you select features to install. The features include the core product files (required), the Javadoc (optional), and the Sample applications (optional).

• Perform a silent installation.

  A silent installation requires you to edit the example response file to contain all of your installation choices. After creating a valid response file, issue the install command with the silent parameter from a command window.

• Install additional features to an existing product.

  After using a custom installation to omit one or both of the optional features, you can install the product again to add the features. Select a missing feature to install it.

 

Results

The installation wizard installs the product files into the installation root directory.

 

What to do next

Create a deployment manager profile and an appserver profile.

Use the Profile Management tool to create profiles in the default profile_root directory or in a directory that you select.

See Creating profiles through the graphical user interface.

Deploy an application to get started!

After creating an appserver profile, you can deploy an application. See Fast paths for WAS to get started deploying applications.
