Procedure

The local installation requires less time to complete than a remote installation. The local installation reads installation options from a response file.

    See Installing WebSphere Application Client from your iSeries server.

  2. Run the GUI installation tool from a Windows workstation

    The interactive GUI uses an InstallShield interface to prompt you for installation options. Installing the product from a Windows workstation does not require direct physical access to the iSeries server.

    See Installing using a Windows workstation GUI .

 

Results

You successfully installed the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server and the features you selected.

 

What to do next

Use the installation verification utility to verify a successful installation. If the installation is not successful, fix the error as indicated in the installation error message. For example, if you do not have enough disk space, add more space, and reinstall the Application Client.
