Instrumenting a local application server

To instrument a local server:

  1. Click Add Local.
  2. On the Application Server page, select the server type from the Type list. The term "Embedded" refers to the WebSphere Application Server test environments that come with some Rational Software Development Platform products.
  3. In the Server name field, type a name for the server instance to configure. Servers can be configured to run multiple instances simultaneously (possibly running different applications), each of which is given a name. Each instance will be configured separately.
  4. In the Server home field, type the path to the server program directory in the file system (for example, c:\servers\was-5.1).
  5. If you selected Websphere Application Server 6.0, you must also specify a Profile Name.
  6. If you selected a BEA WebLogic server, you must also specify the following settings:
    1. Domain
    2. Domain path
    3. Java home
    4. Admin server hostname
    5. Admin server port
    6. Script for starting (Optional)
    7. Node Manager for starting (Optional)

    Consult the BEA WebLogic documentation for details about each of these settings.

After instrumenting the server, the tool attempts to restart the server automatically. If the tool is unable to restart the server, you will be notified and will have to restart the server manually.
