Install the Pluggable Application Client using the command line

We can install the Pluggable Application Client using the Installation Manager command line.

Before installing the product, you must read the license agreement that we can find with the product files. Signify your acceptance of the license agreement by specifying -acceptLicense in the command as described below.

Install Installation Manager on each of the systems onto which to install the product.

• To use the Installation Manager that is included with this product, perform the following actions:
  1. Obtain the necessary files.

     There are three basic options for obtaining and installing Installation Manager and the product.

     • Access the physical media, and use local installation

       We can access the product repositories on the product media.

       1. Install Installation Manager on your system.

          We can install Installation Manager using the product media, using a file obtained from the Passport Advantage site, or using a file containing the most current version of Installation Manager from the IBM Installation Manager download website.

       2. Use Installation Manager to install the product from the product repositories on the media.

     • Download the files from the Passport Advantage site, and use local installation

       Licensed customers with a Passport Advantage ID and password can download the necessary product repositories from the Passport Advantage site.

       1. Download the files from the Passport Advantage site.

          See How to download WAS V8.5 from Passport Advantage Online for a list of the IBM WAS v8.5 installation images downloadable from the IBM Passport Advantage Online website and other information.

       2. Install Installation Manager on your system.

          We can install Installation Manager using the product media, using a file obtained from the Passport Advantage site, or using a file containing the most current version of Installation Manager from the IBM Installation Manager download website.

       3. Use Installation Manager to install the product from the downloaded repositories.

     • Access the live repositories, and use web-based installation

       If we have a Passport Advantage ID and password, we can install the product from the web-based repositories.

       1. Install Installation Manager on your system.

          We can install Installation Manager using the product media, using a file obtained from the Passport Advantage site, or using a file containing the most current version of Installation Manager from the IBM Installation Manager download website.

       2. Use Installation Manager to install the product from the web-based repository located at
          http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.PLUGCLIENT.v85

          This location does not contain a web page that we can access using a web browser. This is a remote web-based repository location that specify for the value of the -repositories parameter so the imcl command can access the files in this repository to install the product.

       Whenever possible, you should use the remote web-based repositories so that you are accessing the most up-to-date installation files.

     Notes:

     • If we do not have a Passport Advantage ID and password, install the product from the product repositories on the media or local repositories.
     • With the Packaging Utility, we can create and manage packages for installation repositories. We can copy multiple packages into one repository or copy multiple disks for one product into a repository. We can copy packages from Passport Advantage or a web-based repository into a local repository for example. For more information on the Packaging Utility, go to the IBM Installation Manager v1.5 Information Center.

  2. Change to the location containing the Installation Manager installation files, and run one of the following commands:

     Administrative installation:

     installc.exe -acceptLicense -log log_file_path_and_name

     Non-administrative installation:

     userinstc.exe -acceptLicense -log log_file_path_and_name

   Tips:

   • The relevant terms and conditions, notices, and other information are provided in the license-agreement files in the lafiles or product_name/lafiles subdirectory of the installation image or repository for this product.
   • The offering_version, which optionally can be attached to the offering ID with an underscore, is a specific version of the offering to install (8.5.0.20110503_0200 for example).

     • If offering_version is not specified, the latest version of the offering and all interim fixes for that version are installed.

     • If offering_version is specified, the specified version of the offering and no interim fixes for that version are installed.

     The offering version can be found attached to the end of the offering ID with an underscore when we run the following command against the repository:

     imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories source_repository
   • We can also specify none, recommended or all with the -installFixes argument to indicate which interim fixes you want installed with the offering.

     • If the offering version is not specified, the -installFixes option defaults to all.

     • If the offering version is specified, the -installFixes option defaults to none.

   • The -accessRights parameter is not required if you previously specified the mode in which to install Installation Manager.
   • The program might write important post-installation instructions to standard output.

   For more information on using the imcl command to install the product, see the IBM Installation Manager v1.5 Information Center.
