The first step in the MetroSphere project is getting the software installed so we can start working with it. This tutorial explains the necessary hardware and software prerequisites for installing WebSphere Portal - Express, and then explains the information necessary for a Quick Install and describes how that process should work. It also looks at some of the additional information necessary for a Standard Install.

Prerequisites


System requirements

The examples in the tutorial require:

  • IBM WebSphere Portal - Express V 4.1
  • Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
  • IBM's DB2 Universal Database, Enterprise Edition, version 7.2 with Fixpack 7 or Oracle 8i Release 3 (8.1.7). (We used DB2, and the tutorial concentrates on the information necessary for a DB2-based install.)

You can read the tutorial without installing any of the listed software.
