Integrate WebSphere eXtreme Scale with WebSphere Application Server

You can install WebSphere eXtreme Scale in an environment in which WebSphere Application Server or WAS ND is installed. You can use the existing features of WebSphere Application Server or WAS ND to enhance the eXtreme Scale applications.

Before you begin

Install WebSphere Application Server or WAS ND. See Install the application serving environment for more information.
Based on what version you install, v6.0.x, v6.1, or v7.0, apply the latest fix pack for WebSphere Application Server or WAS ND to update the product level. See the Latest fix packs for WebSphere Application Server for more information.
Verify that the target installation directory does not contain an existing installation of eXtreme Scale.
Stop all processes that are running in the WebSphere Application Server or WAS ND. See Command-line utilities for more information.

When you install eXtreme Scale, it should be in the same directory in which you installed WebSphere Application Server. For example, if you installed WebSphere Application Server in C:\<was_root>, then you should also choose C:<was_root> as the target directory for the eXtreme Scale installation.

Integrate eXtreme Scale with WebSphere Application Server or WAS ND to apply the features of eXtreme Scale to the Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition applications. Java EE applications host eXtreme Scale grids and access the grids using a client connection.
The following table lists the Java archive (JAR) files that are included in the installation.
Table 1. Runtime files in the /lib installation directory
File name Environment Description
cglib.jar
Local, client, and server

The cglib.jar file is read by the cglib utility function when you are using the copy-on-write copy mode and when you are using EntityManager API to track the changes of an entity. The cglib.jar file is a CGLIB library and its version is cglib-nodep-2.1_3.jar.
ogagent.jar
Local, client, and server

The ogagent.jar file contains the runtime classes that are required to run the Java instrumentation agent that is used with the EntityManager API.
wsobjectgrid.jar
Local, client, and server

The wsobjectgrid.jar file contains the eXtreme Scale local, client, and server run times.
wsogclient.jar
Local and client

The wsogclient.jar file is included when you install the product in an environment that contains WebSphere Application Server v6.0.2 and later. This file contains only the local and client run times.
wxsdynacache.jar
Server only

The wxsdynacache.jar file contains the necessary classes to use with the dynamic cache provider.

Procedure

Use the wizard to complete the installation. Run the following script to start the wizard:

dvd_root/install
dvd_root\install.bat

Follow the prompts in the wizard.
The optional features panel lists the features from which you can choose to install. However, features cannot be added incrementally to the product environment after the product is installed. If you choose not to install a feature with the initial product installation, uninstall and reinstall the product to add the feature.
The Profile augmentation panel lists existing profiles that you can select to augment with the features of eXtreme Scale. If you select existing profiles that are already in use, however, a warning panel is displayed.
To continue with the installation, either stop the servers that are configured in the profiles, or click Back to remove the profiles from the selection.

What to do next

If you are running WebSphere Application Server v6.1 or v7.0, you can use the Profile Management Tool plug-in or the manageprofiles command. If you are running WebSphere Application Server v6.0.2, use the wasprofile command to create and augment profiles.
Deploy the application, start a catalog service, and start the containers in the WebSphere Application Server environment. See Administer WebSphere eXtreme Scale with WebSphere Application Server for more information.

Use the Installation Factory plug-in to create and install customized packages
Use the IBM Installation Factory plug-in for WebSphere eXtreme Scale to create a customized installation package (CIP) or an integrated installation package (IIP). A CIP contains a single product installation package and various optional assets. An IIP combines one or more installation packages into a single installation workflow that you design.
Create and augment profiles for WebSphere eXtreme Scale
After you install the product, create unique types of profiles and augment existing profiles for WebSphere eXtreme Scale.
