Install Application Client for WebSphere Application Server
This topic describes how to install the Application Client for
WebSphere Application Server using the installation image on the product CD-ROM.
Running client applications
that communicate with a WebSphere Application Server requires that elements
of the Application Server are installed on the system on which the client
applications run. However, if the system does not have the Application Server
installed, you can install Application Client, which provides a stand-alone
client run-time environment for your client applications. The i5/OS Application
Client supports the following types of client:
- Java thin client
- J2EE application client
- Web services thin client
The steps that follow provide enough detail to guide you through
preparing for, choosing, and installing the variety of options and features
provided. To prepare for installation and to make yourself familiar with installation
options, complete the steps in this topic and read the related topics, before
you start to use the installation tools. Specifically, read these topics before
installing the product:
It is recommended that you have 350 MB of temporary disk space
available before beginning the installation.
Procedure
- Install WebSphere Application Client from your
iSeries server. Installing the product from the CD-ROM drive of
your iSeries server requires direct physical access to the server. 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.
- 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.
