Installing Merant SequeLink for use with WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition and SQL Server Enterprise on Windows

This topic describes how to install Merant SequeLink for use with a single configuration of WebSphere Application Server. A SequeLink driver comes complimentary with WebSphere Application Server.

Prerequisite Conditions

These instructions assume the following prerequisite conditions:

  • You have determined which software versions to use for this configuration from the prerequisite software versions currently supported by IBM WebSphere Application Server. For example, for a list of the supported versions of Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise, see "Software Prerequisites" as the authoritative reference.
  • You have installed IBM WebSphere Application Server, as well as the supported Web server and database products that you plan to use for this configuration. For installation instructions appropriate to your operating system and choice of prerequisites, see the "Operating systems..." links on the Welcome page of the InfoCenter.

Steps for installation

To enable Merant for use with SQL Server Enterprise as the adminstrative database for WebSphere Application Server, complete the following steps:

  1. Locate and enable the Merant SequeLink driver files, as described in the WebSphere Application Server documentation pertaining to database drivers.
  2. Ensure that the .jar files sljc and sljcx, which compose the Merant SequeLink driver, are both set in the CLASSPATH environment variable of the administrative server configuration file before the Merant driver is used.
  3. Install the Merant SequeLink Server for SQL Server on the same machine as the Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise database product with which you want to use the Merant driver. Perform any configuration necessary to establish communications between the SQL Server Enterprise database and the Merant SequeLink Server. Refer to your Merant documentation and "Installing the Merant SequeLink Server without a registration key" for instructions.
  4. Using SQL Server as the administrative repository

    To use SQL Server as the WebSphere Application Server administrative repository, ensure that you have the WebSphere Application Server database in your SQL Server. To create the Enterprise Manager in SQL server, complete the following steps:

    1. Go to the Enterprise Manager in SQL server and create a user EJSADMIN for the WebSphere Application Server database with password EJSADMIN and database administrator privileges.
    2. Create a user EJB on this database with password EJB and administrative privileges. The default server in WebSphere Application Server uses these users.
