Configuring a multiple server environment

In a multiple server environment, DB2 Everyplace exploits WebSphere Application Server (WAS) technology to dynamically manage user loads across servers by distributing the load between different servers. Incoming work requests are distributed to the application server and other objects that can most effectively process that request. WAS implements workload management by using server groups and clones.

Prerequisites

You must have the following software installed in order to use a multiple server environment:

• DB2 Universal Database, Version 7.2.1 (FixPak 5), JDBC 2.0 enabled
• DB2 Everyplace, Version 8.1
• WebSphere Application Server , Version 4.0 (FixPak 2 and FixPak 3 or later)

Procedure

1. Set up to create application server clones.
2. Create application server clones.
3. Complete post-configuration tasks.
