5.2 Installing and uninstalling Host Publisher Server

This section explains the preliminary considerations you must address before you install Host

Publisher Server Version 4.0 on the iSeries server. Then it explains how to install and

uninstall Host Publisher Server and Host Publisher Studio.

5.2.1 Preliminary considerations

Before you install Host Publisher Server Version 4.0 on the iSeries server, you must be aware

of following considerations.

Host Publisher Server cannot coexist with other versions

Only one version of Host Publisher Server can be installed on the iSeries server.

On the iSeries platform, a given edition of WebSphere Application Server can be installed

only once. However, its subsystem may run multiple concurrent copies of WebSphere

Application Server in the WebSphere subsystem. Each copy is referred to as a

WebSphere

Administrative Server

, and an WebSphere Administrative Server named default is setup

automatically when WebSphere Application Server is installed. Each WebSphere

Administrative Server has its own resources and can have many application servers.

Host Publisher Server for iSeries can only be configured to one WebSphere Administrative

Server. However, a Host Publisher application server can be cloned multiple times under a

WebSphere Administrative Server.

For details on cloning, refer to the WebSphere V4.0 documentation on the WebSphere

Application Server Web site at:

http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/websphere/wsappserver/

You should also refer to Chapter 17 in the

IBM WebSphere V4.0 Advanced Edition Handbook

,

SG24-6176.

If a previous version of Host Publisher Server is installed on the iSeries server, the setup

instructions in 5.2.2, “Installing Host Publisher Server” on page 103, and 5.4, “Migrating

applications and XML Gateway sessions” on page 136, show how to uninstall the previous

version and to migrate your applications to Host Publisher Version 4.0.

To find previous versions of Host Publisher Server on the iSeries, you can use the Display

Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command and look for:

 5648-D31 (Host Publisher V2.2.1)

 5648-E25 (Host Publisher V3.5)

Chapter 5. Installation and administration of WebSphere Host Publisher Server 101

Host Publisher Server licensing

Host Publisher Server Version 4.0 shipped with iSeries Access Family is only licensed to run

on iSeries and to access iSeries resources (no 3270 or VT).

For active Host Publisher functions, such as converted user applications and XML Gateway

sessions, the license is managed by the iSeries Access Family (5722-XW1) product.

WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 skills

WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 is a prerequisite of Host Publisher Version 4.0. A

successful implementation of Host Publisher Server requires you to have WebSphere

Application Server Version 4.0 skills.

You can find information on setting up and using WebSphere Application Server and

WebSphere Administrative Console in

IBM WebSphere V4.0 Advanced Edition Handbook

,

SG24-6176, and on the Web site for WebSphere Application Server for iSeries:

http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/websphere/wsappserver/docs/doc.htm

WebSphere product level

WebSphere Advanced Edition or Advanced Single Server Edition must be installed and at fix

level 4.0.2 or later. If WebSphere 4.0 is not installed on the iSeries server, you should uninstall

the previous version of Host Publisher Server, install WebSphere 4.0, and then install Host

Publisher Server Version 4.0. Note the following considerations:

 WebSphere 4.0 can coexist on the iSeries server with other versions of WebSphere.

 If WebSphere 4.0 is to be installed and a previous version of WebSphere is installed on

the iSeries server, consult the WebSphere Application Server V4.0 migration

documentation on the Web by selecting the Migration link:

http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/websphere/wsappserver/

 Refer to the WebSphere for iSeries home page (see the Web address in the previous

bullet) for information about the latest available PTFs for WebSphere on the iSeries server.

Table 5-5 shows you an overview of the group PTF numbers.

Table 5-5 Overview of group PTFs

Verifying the WebSphere V4.0 level

The level of WebSphere Application Server is contained in a data area in the WebSphere

Application Server library. The name of the data area is the group PTF number. Use the

DSPTAARA command to retrieve the information.

 For WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition, the command is:

DSPDTAARA QEJBADV4/SF99241

 For WebSphere Application Server Advanced Single Server edition, the command is:

DSPDTAARA QEJBAES4/SF99242

The result of the command for WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition is shown in

Figure 5-1.
