RE: Websphere 3.5 STd Edition with V5R1 & V5R2

Unfortunately, my understanding is that IBM no longer supports WAS 3.5
Standard Edition on V5R2.

My experience installing it recently on V5R1 was fairly painless (once I
had tracked down the software and all the right group PTFs), compared with
WAS 3.0.2, anyway. You do need to follow the installation instructions to
the letter, and you're advised to use the green screen installation option,
rather than the PC one, which is very slow.

Hint: if you have taken away public *USE authority to the CRTLIB command,
you will need to give the QEJB user profile this authority before you start
the WAS admin server for the first time (if you don't, you'll get one of
the world's least meaningful error messages). This is because the first
thing it does is create a library to put its repository in. I wasted nearly
a whole day on a customer site on this one.

I would, incidentally, advise putting WAS in a pool of its own if you are
even remotely short of main storage. It is very greedy when it starts up,
better once it's running - the recommendation is to restart it only when
you absolutely have to.
