Creating application servers

Why and when to perform this task

For the Express and Base products, you must use wsadmin commands to create a new application server. The server you create cannot be managed using the administrative console. The only server you can manage using the administrative console is the default server (server1).

You can now upgrade a portion of the nodes in a cell, while leaving others at an older release level. This means that, for a period of time, you may be managing servers that are at the current release and servers that are running the newer release in the same cell. In this mixed environment, there are restrictions on what you can do with servers at the older release level. They are:
  • You can only create new server definitions on nodes that are running on the current release level.
  • When you create a new server definition, you must use a server configuration template, and that template must be created from a server instance that matches the version of the node on which you are creating a server.

There are no restrictions on what you can do with the servers running on the newer release level.

The steps below describe how to use the Create new application server administrative console panel.

Steps for this task

  1. Create the new application server using the wsadmin createApplicationServer command. For information on how to perform this task, see Commands for the AdminTask object.
  2. To use multiple language encoding support in the administrative console, configure an application server with UTF-8 encoding enabled.
