WCS 6 Installation primer

  • Install RAD 6.0 from disk1 of the installation folder. Ensure that you install it to a folder which has a short path. For example C:\RAD6
  • Once RAD 6.0 is installed, update the Rational Product Updater from v6.0 to 6.0.1 or 6.0.2 (rpu_602.zip).
  • Install Rational Application Developer Fix Pack 6.0.1.2 (http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2042&uid=swg24016331) which is a cumulative fix pack. There are three packages for this - rad60_6011_for_6012.zip, radpre60_6012.zip and rad60_6012.zip. It is recommended that you can choose to install from IBM update server automatically rather than downloading the fix.
  • Once the update is done, download and unzip WAS refresh pack 2 - 6.0-WS-WAS-WinX32-RP0000002.zip which can be found at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24009813&rs=0&cs=utf-8&context=SSEQTP&dc=D400&q1=refreshpack&loc=en_US&lang=en&cc=US. Unzip to location where RAD is installed. For eg:- C:\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\runtimes\base_v6. This will create a updateinstaller folder.
  • Run update.exe from the updateinstaller folder. This will backup java and relaunch the update installer to install the refresh pack v6.0.2.
  • Now from the updateinstaller for WAS, select Optional Features and select “IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.0 Integrated Test Environment Update Version 6.0.2.5” and “Java SDK Update for IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.0.2.5 Integrated Test Environment” and install the selected features.

From this point, there can be two paths/ways to continue installation of Websphere Commerce.

  
Commerce Installation path1
  • (a) Download and install the UpdateInstaller 7.0.0.11 7.0.0.11-WS-UPDI-WinIA32.zip for websphere application server.
  • (b) Using the above UpdateInstaller, install the following three maintenance packs:- 6.0.2-WS-WAS-WinX32-FP00000043.pak, 6.0.2-WS-WASJavaSDK-WinX32-FP00000043.pak and 6.0.2.5-WS-WAS-IFWC-file-permission3.pak.
  • (c) Install the Websphere commerce using the following command line
a.     setup.exe -cp:p C:\MyData\chetan\Environment_Setup\LI71397_devinstall.jar
This is required as WCS expects WAS version to be 6.0.2.5. However, we have updated the WAS server to version 6.0.2.43 and hence the above fix while installing WCS.
  • (d) Once WCS is installed, install the Websphere Commerce update installer download.updii.61011.windows.ia32.zip and install it to a folder on the file system. This is required to apply fix packs to WCS
  • (e) Download and install the latest fix pack for WCS (Fix Pack 10 (6.0.0.10)) from the URL http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21414685.
  • (f) Using the Websphere Commerce update installer (61011), apply fix pack downloaded in the above step.
  • (g) Download Feature packs 1, 2 and 4 sequentially in that order and then install by unzipping the feature packs and executing install.windows.ia32.exe from the unzipped folder.
  • (h) Download couple of coremetrics fixes for Websphere Commerce from the same location (LATEST - 4.0.0.0-WS-WCFeaturePack4-IFSI32088) and (SI32088 - 1.0.0.0-WS-WCFeaturePack1-IFIZ18527) and install them using the websphere commerce update installer.
  • (i) Download and install Feature pack 5 by unzipping the feature packs and executing install.windows.ia32.exe from the unzipped folder.
  • (j) Enable the services in Websphere commerce by executing the following commands from c:\WCToolkitEE60\bin
a.     enableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=component-services
b.    enableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=jca4webservices
c.     enableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=management-center
d.    enableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=madisons-starterstore
  
Commerce Installation path 2 (After WAS level is at 6.0.2.5)
  • (a)  Install websphere commerce using setup.exe from the installation folder. Install to C:\WCToolkitEE60\
  • (b) Once WCS is installed, follow steps d to f from the path 1 described above.
  • (c)  Then follow step g above. However, for installing FEP1, FEP2, FEP4 and FEP5 for WCS, it requires the application server to be at a level of 6.0.1.27. Update the websphere application server to the level by applying the fix 6.0.2-WS-WASJavaSDK-WinX32-FP00000027.pak and 6.0.2-WS-WAS-WinX32-FP00000027.pak and then continue with step g through j above.
