Install, updating, rolling back, and uninstalling the Application Client for IBM WAS

IBM Installation Manager is a common installer for many IBM software products that you use to install, update, roll back, and uninstall the Application Client for IBM WAS.

New feature: Application Client for IBM WAS is now installed by Installation Manager rather than by the programs based on InstallShield MultiPlatform (ISMP) that are used to install and uninstall previous versions.New feature:

Before you start to use the installation tools, prepare for choosing and installing the variety of options and features provided by the Application Client. Read through all the steps in this article and read the related topics before installing the Application Client:

IBM recommends that we have 350 MB of temporary disk space available before starting the installation.

Restrictions:

The Application Client provides resources and clients to aid development of client applications for use with WAS. The Application Client is a source for the clients (as runtime frameworks) for client applications, either to run on the Application Client machine or to be distributed with client applications that are to run on other machines.

To assemble some types of client applications, install the client that provides the framework for the client application. Instead of installing WAS, you can install the Application Client feature, which provides the same resources and clients to aid development of client applications.

Similarly, running some types of client applications for use with WAS requires that the associated client is deployed with the client application. For client applications that only need a small fraction of the Application Client, you can install the Application Client onto a convenient machine, such as the machine used to develop the client application, then package the client application with only the clients that it needs. For example, this means that a standalone client application is deployed on only the required fraction of the clients provided with the Application Client.
