Before you use the EAR file to install your application, you must
install the IMS resource adapter in WebSphere Application Server, if it is
not already installed.
Note: You can only have one standalone version of the IMS RAR file
installed on WebSphere Application Server because the different versions of
the IMS RAR files share the same classloader. If there are two versions of
the IMS RAR installed, there will be a conflict because they share the same
class names.
To install the IMS RAR file, complete the following
steps:
- Ensure that WebSphere Application Server is started.
- On the Welcome page, in the left-hand navigation, expand Resources and
select Resource Adapters. The Resource
Adapter page opens.
- On the resource adapter page, scroll to the bottom and click the Install
RAR button. This takes you to the Install RAR File
page.
- Click Browse to navigate to the path where
the RAR file is installed and select Next.
- In the next page, type in a name for your RAR file, for example, IMSRAR9102,
and click OK.
- Save your changes by clicking Save at the
top of the page.
- Click Save again when prompted to save your
workspace to the master configuration.
The IMS RAR file is now installed on your WebSphere Application Server.
