Transfer installation files to a Linux for zSeries system

Before you can install WebSphere Commerce and its supporting software on a Linux partition on a zSeries machine, transfer the contents of the WebSphere Commerce DVD from a non-Windows workstation to the Linux for zSeries machine where we will install WebSphere Commerce and its supporting software.

The following DVDs must be transferred:

• DB2 DVD

• WebSphere Application Server DVD

• WebSphere Commerce DVD

To transfer the contents of a DVD to the WebSphere Commerce machine:

Procedure

1. On a non-Windows workstation:

   1. Insert the DVD into the DVD-ROM drive and mount the DVD-ROM drive.

   2. Use a file compression utility or an archiving utility to package the entire contents of the DVD-ROM into a single file.

   3. Transfer the file from the workstation to the WebSphere Commerce machine using FTP or another transfer method.

   4. If the amount of hard disk space is limited on the workstation, delete the compressed file.

2. On the WebSphere Commerce machine:

   1. Log in as the root user.

   2. Create a temporary directory for each DVD. Record the directory names as they are required by the WebSphere Commerce installation wizard.

   3. Uncompress the file into its temporary directory. Continue the uncompress of each DVD ensuring that the correct directory is used.

   4. If the amount of hard disk space is limited, delete the compressed file.
