With recent changes to the feature installer for Open Liberty, it is now possible apply the WebSphere Automation connector feature to Open Liberty installations. At the time of this writing, the feature is WebSphere Liberty feature
usageMetering-1.0, but we intend to support any/all potential future replacement features.Existing and new Open Liberty installations can be augmented with the featureUtility included with Open Liberty. Documentation to augment an Open Liberty install with a WebSphere Liberty feature can be found in the IBM docs:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-liberty/base?topic=liberty-installing-websphere-features-open-server
The impact of installing a WebSphere Liberty feature will convert the runtime install to be licensed as WebSphere Liberty.
