Abstract |
This white paper describes how to manually modify certain
parts of the WebSphere® Application Server version 5.x configuration that
are not available through the administrative tooling that comes with the
product. Version 5.x configuration, for all editions of the product, is
stored in XML files in a subdirectory under the main product installation
root directory.
Administrative tooling shipped with WebSphere provides support for
modifying most of the configuration settings. This tooling includes the
Web-based administrative console program, the wsadmin scripting tool,
command line utilities, and even a public Java™ API for WebSphere
administration.
While the version 5.x tooling supports altering most of the configuration,
certain modifications that impact the structure of the configuration
directories (the topology of the environment) were not available to be
shipped with the version 5.x products. However, these changes can be
accomplished without tooling through the manual procedures described in
this document.
Each section of this document treats a specific configuration modification
separately. Each section begins with a short discussion of the issues
related to changing the specific part of the configuration. Then one or
more procedures are provided to itemize the steps required to perform the
modification manually.
WebSphere Administrative tooling does not have the functionality to change
the cell name, node name, or host name of the Base Node or Deployment
Manager. This white paper lists the steps required to achieve these tasks
by manually editing the configuration repository. |
