I'm trying to install WebSphere 8.5. I downloaded the files from my company internal server and not from IBM portal. I have 3 zip folders for disc 1-3 and an installation manager zip folder()
When I install installation manager I need to add a repository.config and I am wondering which repository.config I should add as I have three of them for disk 1-3 and one inside the installation manager zip folder. Am I missing any file? Please direct me to the right steps and resource to install web application in WebSphere.
Don't add repository.config, simply add the path to the single directory you extract the three zip files to.

I try to integrate calendar invites in Alfresco. I use this link
https://github.com/jpotts/share-inbound-invites
I download inbound-invites-repo and just use mvn install, i don't change pom.xml
and get BUILD SUCCESS.
Than I copy inbound-invites-repo-1.1.1-SNAPSHOT.amp to $ALFRESCO_HOME/amps, then run bin/apply_amps.sh
After that when i run
http://127.0.0.1:8080/share/
I got error
HTTP Status 404 - /share/
type Status report
message /share/
description The requested resource is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.x
Any idea or suggestion how to integrate calendar invites in alfresco share...?
Typically you should stop Tomcat before you run apply_amps.sh, then restart it afterward. Here's why...
When you run apply_amps.sh the alfresco.war and share.war files are backuped up. Then, the contents of the AMP files in the amps directory are merged with the alfresco.war file and the contents of the AMP files in the amps_share directory are merged with the share.war file.
Last, the exploded WAR file directories are removed.
Tomcat probably uninstalled your alfresco and/or share webapps at some point during the amp install, which is why you saw the problem.
I installed applicable plugin in the newest version of Jmeter but Ultimate Thread group option is not listed in the thread groups list.
I download and copied the JMeterPlugins-Standard-1.4.0.jar file inside /../lib/ext/ folder of JMeter install on Mac OS. I also installed Plugin manager before copying plugin jar.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Could someone let me know how to get his working?
Once I copied all the content of unzipped content to respective 'ext' folder instead of only doing jar files, then I see plugin is working.
I have installed Apache Web server & hosted(or uploaded) a .pkg file on it.
Everything is working on server side. I can see directories browser to get
From the server, i can download zip, txt, doc. etc other files, but i am unable to download .pkg(dot pkg). From the browser, .pkg file is actually looks like a folder.
I have on many servers, e.g., SourceForge.net and i have downloaded this package. Its downloadable.
So, my question is how to make .pkg file directly downloadable.
1. Is it some setting from my Apache server or
2. Need to create pkg of some other type?
Thanks for any help.
It sounds like you're missing the mime type for a pkg file.
You'll need to find the mime type config - on an OSX box I have, it's in /private/etc/apache2/mime.types
Add the line
application/x-newton-compatible-pkg pkg
to that file and restart Apache
Short Answer: yes you need to recreate the package by other way.
In OS X there are 4 main types of packages which you can install/distribute:
.pkg packages
.mpkg packages
.app bundles
.dmg drives
Further more .pkg/.mpkg packages have 2 more types flat and non flat packages.
Flat Packages are single file packages.
Non Flat Packages looks like a folder.
Your problem is that your package is a non Flat package. You can this post to create a Flat package.
I tried to install websphere application server for developer v8.5. I've already installed the installation manager. Then I download the image from here: all the three parts of WebSphere Application Server for Developers, Installation Manager Repository. Cause my linux has no GUI, so I unzipped the file and tried to use installation manager to install it.
I used :
./imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories /home/user/tmp/wasdev_installer/repository.config to verify that the package exist.
Then I ran : ./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.DEVELOPERSILAN.v85_8.5.5000.20130514_1044 -repositories /home/user/tmp/wasdev_installer/repository.config -installationDirectory /home/user/Websphere_v85 -accessRights nonAdmin -acceptLicense
But I always got errors like :
ERROR: The silent installation process does not support
installing packages that are contained on multiple media discs.
CRIMC1017E ERROR: Failed to locate zip com.ibm.websphere.batch_136_all.all 8.5.5000.201305110146.
Cannot find the table of contents file for an artifact in the repository. Table of contents files are located under the atoc directory in the repository.
If the repository files were transferred from a different location, verify that the files were not altered during the transfer operation. Copy the repository files to a different location and install from that location.
I re-unzipped the file, but didn't help. Was I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
Deepending on what programming models you're using, you could always try the WebSphe Liberty Profile artefact install: https://www.ibmdw.net/wasdev/downloads/. It doesn't support every programming model that the full profile does, but it's a super-easy install, and easy to get going with as a development environment.
I resolved this issue by unzipping all files to one directory. The file part1 contains disk1, so the other files should be put under the directory of part1, which means in the same level of disk1 directory.
If you do not want to bother with downloading and decompressing archives containing the Installation Manager repositories, then there is a much easier and simpler process for getting WebSphere Application Server for Developers installed.
Once you have IBM Installation Manager installed, you only need to provide the repository location to where the IBM hosted WebSphere Application Server for Developers repository is located. For instance, to install WAS for Developers version 8.0 or version 8.5, you simply add one of the repository locations to the repository preferences.
V8.0: http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/V8WASDeveloperILAN
V8.5: http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/V85WASDeveloperILAN
Instructions for installing WAS for Developers using IBM hosted repositories in available on WASDev.net.
You could even use the IBM hosted repositories in your command line installation or response file installation, as long as you create a secure storage file with you MY IBM ID credentials for authenticating with the IBM servers, as described in the WebSphere Knowledge Center.
Alternatively, you can use the IBM Package Utility (a companion to Installation Manager), to reconstruct the IBM hosted repository on your local machine. The advantage to using PU is that you will be able to create a local repository that also includes the fixpack level of your own choosing rather than having to go get a fixpack from IBM Fix Central and then updating the installation afterwards.
Information on creating local repositories with Packaging Utility is available in the WebSphere Knowledge Center.
I am creating a zip file through my app deployed on apache tomcat 7. I want to make that zip available for download to the users. Where shall I place my zip on tomcat server to be available for download or Can I store my zips on some drive and map them through tomcat to be available for download?
There are 2 ways to it.
Option 1: Put your zip or any file under webapps folder e.g. /webapps/test/hello.zip. Putting zip there can be accessed by http://<host:port>/test/hello.zip
Option 2: You can map any directory on your file system accessible via tomcat. To do this you need to configure server.xml at $Tomcat_home/conf/server.xml
Add this new tag under tag.
<Context path="/test" docBase="complete_path_of_dir_contaning_zip_file">< / Context >
Now zip can be accessed in same way http://<host:port>/test/hello.zip
If you have a database, I'd store the file as a blob in a documents table, and build a servlet that is able to handle the file download. It's easy to implement. The database table should record the blob, the mime type and the name of the file.
In this way, you always have your file available (if you store the file in your webapp folder, and redeploy the war, your file will be dropped).
