Before I run installation process here is what I did:
log on as root
create user bobje
here is what’s added to /etc/passwd:
bobje:!:203:1::/websphere/bo:/usr/bin/bash
added group bobje
here is what’s added to /etc/group:
bobje:!:203:bobje
put unpacked BO for AIX into
/websphere/instalki/aix
I changed owner of those files:
drwxr-xr-x 3 bobje bobje 256 Oct 17 12:53 AIXProductivityPack
drwxr-xr-x 6 bobje bobje 4096 Oct 17 12:40 DISK_1
drwxr-xr-x 3 bobje bobje 256 Oct 17 12:45 DISK_2
drwxr-xr-x 3 bobje bobje 256 Oct 17 12:51 DISK_3
changed executable permission for all files (I meant it for sh scripts and those called from install.sh script)
I’m afraid that your version “IBM WebSphere Application Server - ND, 6.0.2.9” is actually not an officially supported version according to the platforms doc. version 6.0.0.x is supported but not any higher.
Also, when you mention “ND” in the version name, could that be a 'Network Edition" as I know that will not work and is stated in the same doc as well: “Support of WebSphere and WebLogic Editions
Network Editions of the Applications Server listed above are NOT supported. The Express Edition of WebSphere and WebLogic application servers are supported.”
So I’m afraid that, although you may be able to get it to work somehow (I wouldnt know how), you do end up with an unsupported installation. Which is something you dont want.
Application Server Incremental Release Support Policy
Specified application servers versions have been successfully tested by Business Objects. Incremental releases of the specified versions defined by the last number in the application server name will be supported as they are made available, but may not have been tested by Business Objects. Exceptions in support will be documented.
Here is info about WAS product
IBM WebSphere Application Server Product Installation Status Report
Correct, so the newest, officially supported version by BO is WebSphere 6.0.0.2. However you say you have version 6.0.2.x which I believe is not what they mean by “defined by the last number in the application server name”. As far as I know, this would mean support fro any 6.0.0.x version.
Also, the name end with ND, which is the “WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment”, which I believe is the current name for the “network edition” which is not supported.
This is al the infomation I have, if you want to be 100% sure, check with tech support.
Thanks - You might be right - I called the support and the said that ND will be supported in next version, although they can’t say what exactly happens when youtry do install BO in WAS 6.2.x ND
Again thank you for tip, that solves my problem for now.
I did a succesful installation of BOXI R2 SP2 on AIX and WebSphere.
Versions:
[list]AIX: 5.3 (5300-04)
Web Portal Server: 6.0.1.2
Web Application Server: 6.0.2.11 + PK20404 + PK25804 + PK27109 + PK23535 + PK24146 + PK29441 + PK25682 + PK27434 + PK35285[/list]But I don’t know, if the WAS is an ND?!
Did you read carefully the documentation on this toppic?
