Running the Installation Program in Graphical Mode

This section describes how to continue the installation program in the graphical mode on following platforms:

 

Windows

Before you start the installation of the AquaLogic Service Bus in the graphical mode, you should start the installation in graphical mode as described in Starting the Installation in Graphical Mode .

Installing Using the Graphical Mode

  1. The installation program prompts you to enter specific information about your system and the configuration. When the installer starts up in the graphical mode, the Welcome window is displayed as shown in following figure:

  3. Specify the BEA Home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all BEA products installed on the target system. If a BEA Home directory exists on your system, you can select that directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the installation program automatically creates one for you. For details about the BEA Home directory, see Choosing a BEA Home Directory.

    4. Click Next to proceed. The Choose Install Type (see Figure 3-4) window is displayed.

    Note: If you choose to use the existing directory and you have the products installed in it, you must uninstall the product before you can proceed with the installation.
  4. Click on the option to select the type of installation you want to perform:
    5. Figure 3-4 Choose Install Type


    Choose Install Type

    • Complete: All the software components included in your installation program, except the WebLogic Server Plug-ins, are installed on your system. Sample domains are preconfigured for use with the PointBase database during installation, allowing you to execute the samples when the installation is complete.
    • Custom: You can select the software components to be installed. On Windows systems, you also have the option to install WebLogic Server Node Manager as a Windows service
      • Note: You must select Custom installation to install the Web Server Plug-ins or to add components to an existing installation. For more information, see Choosing the Type of Installation

      Click Next. The Choose Components (see Figure 3-5) window is displayed. This displayed only if you select Custom installation type.

      Figure 3-5 Choose Components


      Choose Components

      This window displays a tree-view of all the components available for installation. Specify the components to be installed by selecting or clearing the appropriate check boxes.

      Note: In an initial installation, only the Web Server Plug-ins are not selected; all other components are selected by default. You must select the Web Server Plug-ins check box if you want the plug-ins to be installed on your system.

      When you select or clear a component at the folder level, all subcomponents are selected or cleared accordingly. If any components are already installed on your system, the check boxes for them are grayed out.

      Note: When you select or deselect components to install, the installation program checks for dependencies between components and automatically modifies the list of selected components accordingly. For example, if you clear the WebLogic Server component check box, the boxes for the remaining components are cleared because the other components cannot be run without WebLogic Server.

      For details about the components available for installation on your system, see Installable Product Components.

      Click Next to continue. The installer displays the Optional Tools (see Figure 3-6) window.

  5. In the Optional Tools window, specify whether you want to install the Mercury profiling tools. Clear the check box for this option if you do not want to install these tools.
    For more information about the Mercury profiling tools, see BEA JRockit JDK.
    6. Figure 3-6 Optional Tools


    Optional Tools

    Note: This window is displayed only on platforms that support BEA JRockit.

    Click Next to continue.

  6. Select Yes and click Next to continue. Choose Product Directory window (see Figure 3-7) is displayed.
  7. Specify the directory in which you want to install the software and click Next. You can accept the default product directory for the WebLogic Server(weblogic92) and Workshop for WebLogic or create a new product directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the installation program will automatically create one for you.
    For additional information, see Choosing Product Installation Directory. This window is not displayed if you are adding components to an existing installation. Instead, you are prompted to confirm the product installation directory. If you do so, the selected components are installed in the product installation directory you specified during the initial installation.

Click Next to continue. The Install Windows Service window is displayed (see Figure 3-8).

Configuring Node Manager As Windows Service

  1. Choose whether you want to install the Windows services indicated, specifically the WebLogic Server Node Manager service. Node Manager is used to monitor, start, and stop server instances in a domain.
    If you select Yes, enter the Node Manager Listen Port in the appropriate field. The default is 5556.
    If the Listen Port number you specify is currently being used by a running application, the installation program prompts you to enter a different Node Manager Listen Port number.
    For more information, see About Installing Node Manager as a Windows Service.
    2. Note: This window is displayed only if you have Administrator privileges on Windows platform you are performing an initial installation.

    Click Next to go the Choose Shortcut Location window.

  2. In the Choose Shortcut Location window (see Figure 3-9)specify the Start menu folder in which you want the Start menu shortcuts created. You can select from the following options:
    • All Users Start menu folder: Selecting this option provides all users registered on the machine with access to the installed software. However, only users with Administrator privileges can create shortcuts in the All Users folder. Therefore, if a user without Administrator privileges uses the Configuration Wizard to create domains, Start menu shortcuts to the domains are not created. In this case, users can manually create shortcuts in their local Start menu folders, if desired.
    • Local user’s Start menu folder: Selecting this option ensures that other users registered on this machine will not have access to the Start menu entries for this installation.
      • Figure 3-9 Choose Shortcut Location


      Choose Shortcut Location

      Note: This window is displayed only under the following if you have Administrator privileges on the Windows Platform and you are performing an initial installation.

      Click Next to start the installation.

      After a successful installation you can specify whether you want to run the QuickStart (see Figure 3-10) application. QuickStart is designed to assist first-time users in evaluating, learning, and using the software, provides quick access to the sample domains, information for upgrading your applications, and the online documentation. Clear the check box for this option if you do not want to launch QuickStart.

      Click Done to exit the installation program and launch QuickStart, if selected.
