Create a IBM® Enterprise
Records web
application profile for the application server domain
to configure and deploy the IBM Enterprise
Records web
application and the Application Engine or Workplace XT web application.
About this task
The information for a profile is collected in XML files as
properties and values that describe the associated configuration and
deployment tasks. You must provide values for the profile properties
that are specific to each configuration at your site, such as the
application server name. The XML files are stored in a directory that
is unique to a profile. Because the profile name is used for the directory
name and for the configuration profile file name, provide a profile
name that is a valid directory name for your operating system. By
default, the profiles are stored in the
ier_install_path/configure/profiles directory,
where
ier_install_path is the location where
IBM Enterprise
Records is installed. You need
to complete the following task:
- Configure web application
Procedure
To create a IBM Enterprise
Records web application profile:
- For WebSphere® and
WebLogic, ensure that your application server is running. For
JBoss, ensure that your JBoss Application Server is
not running.
- If not already running, start the IBM Enterprise
Records Configuration Manager.
- Start the Create New Installation Profile wizard
by selecting .
- Complete the wizard panels in order.
Important: WebSphere Application
Server and Oracle WebLogic Server: If you are creating the
profile for a highly available clustered environment, specify the WebSphere Application
Server IBM Administration
Console for Content Platform Engine information or the Oracle WebLogic Server administrative server
domain.
- Select the Profile type, IBM Enterprise
Records web application.
- You must complete the Configure Web Application tasks
before you deploy the IBM Enterprise
Records web
application.
- Optional: WebSphere Application
Server and Oracle WebLogic Server only. In the Set
Properties for Application Server window, click Test
Connection to test the connection between Configuration
Manager and the application server by using your provided information. The test is optional, and you can proceed in the wizard even
if the test fails. If the test fails, make sure that the application
server is running. Also make sure the application server property
values that you entered match the values that are defined in your
application server.
The profile you created displays as an icon
in the profile pane along with tasks and icons.
- Complete the Configure Web Application task. The Configure Web Application task configures
the IBM Enterprise
Records and Application Engine or Workplace XT web applications with
interface files from each application. This effort includes copying
the appropriate IBM Enterprise
Records JAR
files to the Application Engine or Workplace XT WEB-INF/lib folder.
During
this task, the Configuration Manager detects the authentication method
on your Application Engine or Workplace XT application server. The
Configuration Manager also displays an informational message similar
to the following message: This web application was configured
for application managed authentication.
