If you install the Samples feature when you install the
product, you can install the samples in the WebSphere® Application
Server Samples Gallery. The samples are included with the WebSphere Application Server on your IBM® i server.
Before you begin
The Samples feature is not installed with the product by default.
Use this procedure only if you changed the default and installed the
Samples feature.
Procedure
- Create a standalone application server profile with the
manageprofiles command or use the default application server profile.
By default, only the Samples Gallery and the Plants by WebSphere application are installed on
the application server.
The samples are in the profile_root/installedApps/cell_name directory.
The cell_name variable
is the name of your WebSphere Application Server cell.
- Start the application server.
- Access the Samples Gallery.
Go to http://your.server.name:port/WSsamples.
The your.server.name variable
is the name of your IBM i server
and port is the port number for the internal HTTP transport
of the application server.
- Optional: Install additional samples.
Additional
samples are initially listed as installable samples in the Samples
Gallery. For further instructions on installing each sample, refer
to the Installable Samples section of the Samples Gallery in your
Web browser.
To installing additional samples on non-default
profiles, you must specify the -server myServer parameter.
Additional information about the -server parameter and other script
values is in the Installable Samples section of the Samples Gallery,
in the Samples install help section.
