Installing the WebLogic Exchange Service

The BEA installation program supports the following methods for installing the WebLogic Exchange Service software:

Graphical mode

Graphical-mode installation is an interactive, GUI-based method for installing WebLogic Exchange Service. It can be run on both Windows and UNIX systems. For installation procedures, see Installing Using Graphical-Mode Installation

Note: If you want to run graphical-mode installation, the console attached to the machine on which you are installing the software must support a Java-based GUI. All consoles for Windows systems support Java-based GUIs, but not all consoles for UNIX systems do. If you attempt to start the installation program in graphical mode on a system that cannot support a graphical display, the installation program automatically starts console-mode installation.

Console mode

Console-mode installation is an interactive, text-based method for installing WebLogic Exchange Service, from the command line, on either a UNIX system or a Windows system. For instructions for using this method, see Installing Using Console-Mode Installation.

Installing Using Graphical-Mode Installation

Perform the following steps to install the WebLogic Exchange Service using the Graphical-Mode installation.

Start Graphical-Mode Installation

Note: If you are installing WebLogic Exchange Service on a Windows system that supports more than one monitor, you must disable all but one monitor before starting the installation program.

To start the installation in graphical mode on a Windows system:

Obtain the WebLogic Exchange Service installer. This installer is available from the WebLogic Personal Messaging API product bundle.

Go to the directory that contains the installation file and invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:

java -jar wl_exchange_service_setup-XX.jar
Here, wl_exchange_service_setup-XX.jar is the name of the WebLogic Exchange Service installation file. In this filename, XX represents the version number of the software you are installing.

Note: To ensure that the hardware/software configuration on which you are installing the product is supported by WebLogic Exchange Service, see the Supported Configurations Guide.

4. Proceed to Running the Installation Program.

Running the Installation Program

The installation program prompts you to enter specific information about your system and configuration. For instructions on responding to the prompts during installation, see Table 1-1.

Table 1-1 Console Installation Prompts

Choose Components	Note: This window is displayed only if you selected Custom installation in the Choose Install Type window. Specify the components to be installed by selecting or clearing the appropriate check boxes. This window displays a tree-view of all the components available for installation. In an initial installation, all components are selected.
Choose Product Directory	Specify the directory in which you want to install the WebLogic Exchange Service software and click Next. You can accept the default product directory (`wlpmapi43)` or create a new product directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the installation program automatically creates the directory for you.
Choose JDK_HOME Directory	Specify the directory in which your JDK is installed.
Choose Shortcut Location	Specify the location for the shortcuts to BEA product components.
Status	Read the information displayed about BEA products and services.
Installation Complete	Click Done to exit the installation program.

Installing Using Console-Mode Installation
