The server configuration is stored in a directory
structure under theWebSphere® Application Server
for z/OS® profiles directory:/WebSphere/V6R2/AppServer/profiles/default or /usr/lpp/zWPS/V6R2/DeploymentManager/profiles/default. The profiles directory contains a directory called default which
contains all of the directories and files specific to the server.
This directory structure is used to store the server and FFDC logs.
Before you begin
In
WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS, all runtime environments are created with the ISPF Customization
Dialog using a profile name of
default. The
manageprofiles command, and the -profile option on other administrative commands,
are not used with
WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS.The choice of database you use depends on the topology you
choose:
- If you want to configure a network deployment environment, you
must use a DB2® database.
- If you want to configure a stand-alone server, you can use either
a Derby or a DB2 database.
- If you want to configure clustering, your DB2 z/OS system must be running in data-sharing mode.
About this task
If this is your first installation, start with a stand-alone configuration with a Derby database. After installing a stand-alone configuration
with a Derby database, you can configure a stand-alone
server with a DB2 database to become familiar with using DB2. You can then create a network deployment configuration
that uses a DB2 type database, which is a more complex procedure.
Create the databases as required by the configuration that you are
creating.
