Creating and installing an application server

The DB2 Everyplace application server is created by the following steps, with the appropriate configuration parameters. If a copy of the DB2 Everyplace server is already running, stop the server before continuing.

Prerequisites

For UNIX environments, complete the following tasks:

Set up the current shell environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH for your JDBC drivers that call out to native code. Type the following command:
```
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=JDBC_NATIVE_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
```
This must be done prior to starting each component of WebSphere to ensure that the libraries needed by the JDBC drivers are available for use.
Add the JDBC Java code manually to the JVM classpath using the AdminConsole. The location to add is Admin Console --> Servers --> Application Servers --> servername, on the right workspace --> Process Definition --> Java Virtual Machine.
If multiple servers will be made, such as in a cluster or multiple DB2 Everyplace installs, it may be desirable to modify a setup jacl file to automatically enter the JDBC classpath. The file is located here:
```
%DSYINSTDIR%/Server/installableApps/common/dsySetupEnv.jacl
```
Add semicolon-delimited paths and driver classpath to the entry:
```
set db2ejdbcdrivercp "entry1;/your/class/path/entry2"
```
Note that the path entries should use forward slashes "/" even in Windows environments.

Procedure

To create the server, type:

For NT platforms: <was_home>\bin\wsadmin.bat -f dsyInstallDB2e.jacl <nodename> <virtualhost <servername< <ipaddress< <dsyinstdir< <dsysqllibinstdir< <UDB Version Number< <username <groupname<
For Linux or UNIX platforms: <was_home>/bin/wsadmin.sh -f dsyInstallDB2e.jacl <nodename> <virtualhost> <servername> <ipaddress> <dsyinstdir> <dsysqllibinstdir> <UDB Version Number> <username> <groupname>
