A basic network deployment configuration contains a deployment
manager server in one node, and an application server in another node.
In a WebSphere® ESB network
deployment configuration, both nodes are augmented with WebSphere ESB functions.
The application server is then federated into the deployment manager
cell, which allows the application server to be administered by the
deployment manager. The application server must be augmented with WebSphere ESB functionality
before it is federated into the deployment manager cell.
Procedure
- Create and customize a DB2JccConfiguration.properties file
to provide WebSphere Application Server with
information about the DB2® sub-system:
- Create the file in a suitable directory. For example /etc/db2cfg/directory.
- Set the permissions on the directory so that the WebSphere Controller Region user ID and
the user ID that runs your WebSphere ESB configuration
jobs can read the properties file.
- Make sure the DB2JccConfiguration.properties file contains
the following line:
db2.jcc.ssid=DB15
Where DB15 is the SSID of your installation. For details of all the
other possible properties you can change in the DB2JccConfiguration.properties
files refer to the manual DB2 for z/OS® V8.1
Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java™ (SC18-741).
- Create a response file to provide input to the configuration
script zWESBConfig.sh. A sample response file for a stand-alone
server with DB2 is supplied in /usr/lpp/zWPS/VR62/zos.config/DmgrDB2.rsp.
- Copy the sample response file, DmgrDB2.rsp, to your
working directory. For example:
cp /usr/lpp/zWPS/VR62/zos.config/DmgrDB2.rsp /u/work/
- Use the chmod command to assign the appropriate
permissions to the copy of the response file. For example:
chmod 755 DmgrDB2.rsp
- Set the -dbDelayConfig parameter to true to prevent the configuration script automatically running the DDL
scripts to create the database objects. You will run the
DDL scripts later.
- Edit the other parameters in the response as appropriate
to your system.
- Save the edited response file.
What to do next
You are now ready to configure your
WebSphere ESB installation.
