Use commands to create a profile, start a server, display ports,
and open the administrative console.
Before you begin
This task assumes a basic familiarity with the
wasprofile command,
other Application Server commands, and system commands.
Before you can create
and use a profile, you must install WebSphere Application Server.
About this task
Perform the following steps to create and use the profile environment.
This example deals with the profile environment of a stand-alone
Application Server on the Windows platform.
Procedure
- Create the server profile from the original installation:
app_server_root/bin/wasprofile.sh
app_server_root\bin\wasprofile.bat
Assume
that you create the AppSrv01 profile. The following script is an example for
creating an Application Server profile on the Windows platform:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\wasprofile" -create
-profileName AppSrv01
-profilePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01"
-templatePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profileTemplates\default"
-nodeName AppServerNode
-cellName AppServerNodeCell
-hostName myhost.mycity.mycompany.com
-isDefault false
-winserviceCheck true
-winserviceAccountType user
-winserviceUserName my_user_id
-winservicePassword my_password
-winserviceStartupType manual
-startingPort 20000
Change directories to the \bin directory
of the new server profile. For example, issue the following
command:
cd Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin
- Start server1.
Change
directories to the app_server_root\bin directory
of the original installation
Issue the
startServer command.
startServer server1 -profileName AppSrv01
- Display all of the ports for the machine to
see the ports that you set for the server process.
For example,
in a Linux base shell or in the command window on a Windows platform, type:
netstat -a
- Open the administrative console for server1.
The port for the administrative console is defined on the HTTP_TRANSPORT_ADMIN
setting. If the value of the setting is
20003, specify the
following Web address in your browser:
http://hostname_or_IP_address:20003/ibm/console/
Results
You created an Application Server profile, started an Application
Server, and accessed the administrative console through commands.
What to do next
Deploy an application.
