Complete the Installation

If installation is successful, the Installation Complete page is displayed. If installation is unsuccessful, the Installation Failed page is displayed.

Installation Complete

Take action as desired:

• To examine information about each component installed and the settings you specified, click View Summary. If you chose Configure Now, this summary lists all configuration values.

• To examine the installer's log messages for the components, click View Install Log. You can also access this information any time from the following locations:

  Solaris OS: /var/sadm/install/logs

  Linux and HP-UX: /var/opt/sun/install/logs

  For more information about Java ES logs, see Examining Installation Log Files.

• To access postinstallation instructions and continue with the final steps of installation, select the check box to automatically display the Installation Guide. Even if you performed extensive configuration during installation, most product components still require additional configuration. At least some manual configuration is required after every installation. For instructions, see Completing Postinstallation Configuration. Also see the postinstallation configuration questions in the Installation FAQs.

• To exit the installer, click Close. Your installation session is done. Product components that were installed must be started after you have completed postinstallation configuration (the packages are installed but nothing is started, including the configured components). For more information about starting product components, see Verifying After Postinstallation Configuration.

• To begin using Java ES components after they have been installed and started, see the documentation for a particular Java ES component. If you are a new user, look for introductory or getting started material, which is often found in a document called Technical Overview.

• To start over if the resulting installation does not meet your needs, run the uninstaller to uninstall all product components and then perform a new installation. For more information, see Uninstalling.

Java ES Reporter

Java ES Reporter is a command-line utility that performs product registration after a successful Java ES installation. The utility starts automatically in the console or terminal window in which you started the installer. You are asked if you want to install Java ES Reporter, and if so, to provide the URL or IP address of a proxy Java ES Reporter will use to access Sun through the Internet. For more information, see How Java ES Reporter Works.

Adding Components After Installation

To install additional components after installation is complete, run the installer again to add them. The installer detects installed components and uses them to satisfy dependencies of components you are adding. Installed product components are shown as shaded and dimmed on the Choose Software Components page. For example, if you installed Access Manager and its required components during one installation session and later decide you want to install Portal Server, the existing instance of Access Manager is used to meet the Portal Server dependency on Access Manager. You are not asked to reinstall Access Manager.

Installation Failed

If installation was unsuccessful, the Installation Failed page is displayed.
