Custom installation

You can perform a custom installation of WSRR by starting the Launchpad, and selecting the Custom option.

1. Start the launchpad application, see .
2. In the left pane of the launchpad, click Custom.
3. Specify whether you want to install WSRR as an administrative user or non-administrative user.
4. Click Install. The Installation Manager Install Packages wizard starts.
5. On the Install page of the Install Packages wizard, all recommended packages, and WSRR are preselected for installation. Click Next.
6. On the Install Packages wizard Licenses page, read through the license agreement and then select I accept the terms in the license agreement. Click Next.
7. On the Install Packages wizard Shared Resources Location page, click Next to accept the default shared resources location..
8. On the Install Packages wizard Location page, IBM WebSphere Application Server - ND_xxxxx (where xxxxx is the date timestamp) and the Use the existing package group radio button are selected by default. Leave those selections as they are and click Next.
   Note: The Install Packages wizard displays a message if it detects any running processes. If you see this message, click Cancel, shut down the running processes, and begin the installation again.
9. The Install Packages wizard checks your operating system to make sure that it meets the prerequisites for installing WSRR. The action you take depends on the results of the prerequisite check:
   • If the prerequisite check is successful (that is, a supported operating system is found), no message is displayed. The installation continues on to the Install Packages wizard Features page. Proceed to step 10.
   • If the prerequisite check is not successful (for example, a supported operating system is not at the minimum supported level), you see an error message and the installation stops. You must address the problem described in the message before you can install WSRR.
   • If you are at a higher major release of a supported operating system, or the operating system itself is not on the supported list, you might encounter a warning. You can continue with the installation, but the installation or product operation might not succeed until you apply maintenance.

     If you see such a warning, go to the product support web pages and obtain the latest maintenance packages to apply after installation. Refer to the documentation for non-IBM prerequisite and corequisite products to learn how to migrate to their supported versions.

10. On the Install Packages wizard Features page, accept the default selections and click Next.
11. Review the summary information. If the summary information is incorrect, click Back to change your selections.
12. Click Install. When the installation is complete, a page displays the status of the installation and which packages have been successfully installed.
    Important: This process can take several minutes. Do not proceed until this page is displayed.
13. To launch the Profile Management Tool, leave the Profile Management Tool radio button selected. Otherwise, select the radio button for None.
14. Click Finish.
