Install WAS from a workstation using AWT mode

To use the abstract windowing toolkit (AWT) mode to install WAS for iSeries from a Windows 32-bit workstation, perform these steps:

  1. Verify that the host server jobs have been started on your iSeries server. The host server jobs allow the installation code to run on iSeries.

    Enter this command on an OS/400 command line:

      STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL)

  2. If TCP/IP is not started or if you don't know if TCP/IP is started, enter the Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) command on an OS/400 command line.

  3. Place the WAS 5.0 for iSeries CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on the workstation.

    Note: Do not use the IBM WAS Version 5 For Windows NT and Windows 2000 CD-ROM or any other CD-ROM (which was shipped with your WAS for iSeries package) for this set of steps.

    The InstallShield program should automatically start. If it does not, open Windows Explorer and select your CD-ROM drive. Double-click the SETUP.EXE file to start the InstallShield program.

  4. At the first panel, read the information and click Next.

  5. Enter the name of the iSeries server where you are installing WAS. You also must enter a valid user ID and password for the server. This user ID must be user type (user class) *SECOFR and have a value of *USRCLS for special authority. Click Next.

  6. On the next panel, select the options to install for WAS. Click Next.
