Install the Application Server Toolkit

The Application Server Toolkit runs on any of the supported WAS workstation platforms. For more information about the supported platforms, see Prerequisites for installing WAS.

Note: Installation of the Application Server Toolkit is optional, but it must be installed if you want to use the Web services security functions in WAS Version 5.0.2.

To install the Application Server Toolkit, perform these steps:

  1. Locate the WAS Supplemental CD-ROM bundle in your WAS product package.

  2. Two CD-ROMs in the Supplemental CD-ROM bundle are labeled This CD-ROM contains: Application Server Toolkit. Select the CD-ROM for your workstation operating system:

    • For Windows: IBM WAS for Windows NT and Windows 2000

    • For AIX and Solaris: IBM WAS for AIX and Solaris

  3. Place the WAS Application Server Toolkit CD-ROM for your workstation's operating system in your workstation CD-ROM drive.

  4. The LaunchPad wizard starts. If it does not start automatically, run the LaunchPad wizard program by navigating to your CD-ROM drive, open the directory for your operating system, and double-click the setup.exe file to start the InstallShield program.

  5. The installation wizard opens and the Welcome page is displayed. Click Next.

  6. On the Software License Agreement window, read the license agreement. To continue, select I accept the terms of the license agreement, and click Next.

  7. Type the name of the destination directory or accept the default directory. This is the directory in which the Application Server Toolkit is installed. Click Next.

  8. The InstallShield program displays messages that indicate the status of the installation and a status bar to show the progress of the installation.

  9. Select whether to install the IBM Remote Agent Controller. The IBM Agent Controller (formerly called the Remote Agent Controller, or RAC) is used by the WebSphere Studio tools to interact with (supported) remote servers for such purposes as application publishing and testing, and debugging and profiling Java/WAS applications on remote servers.

    Notes:

    • Remote Agent Controller is currently not intended for remote deployment use on production systems, due to security concerns. This is intended for development systems only.

    • Only Remote Agent Controller Version 5.0.2 and higher is recommended for iSeries.

    Click Next.

  10. After the installation is complete, a confirmation of a successful installation is displayed. Click Finish to close the InstallShield program.
