When you have an operating system
without an existing WebSphere Commerce installation, you can use these
steps to install the WebSphere Commerce Developer toolkit, fix pack
and feature pack all in one task.
Before you begin
- Stop any Java applications running on your machine.
- Log into Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.
Attention: If you are planning to install
Feature Pack 1 using Installation Manager version 1.4 or version 1.5,
you require an Interim Fix. Review the
Interim
Fix for more information.
About this task
During feature enablement,
you might intermittently receive a FileNotFoundException message.
These messages can be ignored. For more information, see JR40912.
Procedure
- Uninstall any interim
fixes that are installed and not part of the feature pack you are
installing.
See
APARs fixed in WebSphere Commerce feature packs for a list of
APARs fixed in each feature pack. Feature packs are cumulative, so
the latest feature pack includes the fixes for APARs fixed in all lower-level
feature packs.
Note: Record all interim fixes that you uninstall. After
you install the feature pack, you must contact support to obtain a
new version of any APAR that was not included in it.
- In Installation Manager, click Install.
The Installation Manager searches its defined repositories for
available packages.
- On the Install Packages page, select IBM WebSphere
Commerce Developer Enterprise/Professional/Express Edition version
7.0.0.x and IBM WebSphere Commerce Developer
Feature Pack and click Next.
- Read and accept the license agreement.
- Enter the location where you want to install the product
in the Installation Directory field and click Next.
- The Installation Manager detects all of the applicable
features. Recommended features are automatically selected. Select
any additional features you want to install and click Next.
On the configuration
enablement features panel, you can choose what features to enable
and click Install to install the updates.
If you choose
None, no Feature Pack features
will be enabled. If you want to enable any features after installation,
see
Enabling features.
Important: If
you plan to use DB2 Version 9.7 as your development database you must
not enable features during feature pack installation. Select None.
After you install the feature pack, you can set the development database
type and then enable features.
- Select which features to enable, then
click Next.
- Review the installation summary and click Install to
begin the installation process.
- After installation is complete, check the final
page to ensure there are no warnings or errors.
- Take one of the following actions:
- Close IBM Installation Manager.
Open First Steps and learn more about
what you can do now that you have installed the feature pack.
- If you enabled any features during installation,
you must republish the application after the installation is complete:
- Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the
Enterprise Explorer view.
- Rebuild any projects that need to be rebuilt in the
workspace.
- Start the WebSphere Commerce Test Server. Some errors
are displayed in the console; these errors can be safely ignored.
- In the Servers view, right-click the test server then
click Publish.
- Wait for the application to finish publishing and to
restart. Ensure that no errors are displayed.
- Reinstall the interim fixes that you uninstalled
in Step 1,
making sure that you obtain the appropriate version for the newly-installed
feature pack.
- Enable the features that you want.
To enable features, see Enabling features.
