WebSphere® Application Server, Network Deployment
profiles run in the QWAS7 subsystem and require that TCP/IP is configured
and activated on the system. This topic discusses how to prepare your
system to run WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment
profiles.
Before you begin
TCP/IP must be active before the WebSphere Application Server subsystem can start. Ensure that the STRTCP command runs before
the STRSBS QWAS7/QWAS7 command in your startup program or in your
autostart job.
The system startup program is defined by the
QSTRUPPGM system value. For more information about the QSTRUPPGM system
value, see the Work Management Guide (SC41-5306) (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3ALG03/CCONTENTS).
About this task
Complete this task to configure your system to
- Run WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment
profiles
- Configure these profiles to start automatically when the QWAS7
subsystem starts
Procedure
- To prepare your system to run WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment profiles, follow these steps.
- Start Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP). On the i5/OS® command line, enter this command:
STRTCP
- To start your application server profile, see one of
these topics:
- Starting an application server
- Starting and stopping the deployment manager
Note:
- Unlike previous releases, releases starting with WebSphere Application Server Version 6 do not start the default application server when
the subsystem is started. When you use the startServer or startManager
Qshell script to start your server profile, the QWAS7 subsystem is
started if it is not currently active.
- WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment
includes support for stand-alone application server profiles, managed
(federated) profiles, and deployment manager profiles without requiring
the WebSphere Application Server product to
also be installed. When you install WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment, two profiles
are created: the default profile and the dmgr profile. The default
profile is a stand-alone application server profile and the dmgr profile
is a deployment manager profile.
- Use one of these methods to verify that your server
is running:
- On the i5/OS command line, run the Work with Active
Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command:
WRKACTJOB SBS(QWAS7)
Your
server job is listed. When the server is ready to accept requests,
the joblog contains message WAS0106: WebSphere application
server serverName ready.
- In Operations Navigator, look for QIBM_WSA_ADMIN under Server
Jobs.
- If your profile has authority to the QWAS7/QWASJOBD job
description and QWAS7/QWAS7 subsystem description, you can configure WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment
profiles to automatically start when the QWAS7 subsystem starts. Perform
these steps for each profile:
- Create a duplicate of the job description that is used
by WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment
profiles. For example, on the i5/OS command line, run this command:
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QWASJOBD) FROMLIB(QWAS7) OBJTYPE(*JOBD) TOLIB(mywasjobd) NEWOBJ(mydmgr)
- Specify the name of the user profile associated with
the mydmgr job description.
The user profile must be
QEJBSVR:
CHGJOBD JOBD(mywasjobd/mydmgr) USER(QEJBSVR)
- Use the CHGJOBD command to change the newly created
job description so that the Request data or command (RQSDTA) field
starts the server. For example, to start the default deployment manager
server (dmgr), set the RQSDTA value as follows:
'QSYS/CALL PGM(product_library/QWASSTRSVR)
PARM(''-profilePath'' ''/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/
AppServer/V7/ND/profiles/
dmgr'' ''-server'' ''dmgr'')'
To start the default
application server (server1), set the RQSDTA value as follows:
'QSYS/CALL PGM(product_library/QWASSTRSVR) PARM(''-profilePath''
''/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/ND/profiles/default''
''-server'' ''server1'')'
- Add an autostart job entry to the QWAS7/QWAS7 subsystem.
Enter this command from the i5/OS command line:
ADDAJE SBSD(QWAS7/QWAS7) JOB(mydmgr) JOBD(mywasjobd/mydmgr)
You
can configure the system so that the QWAS7 subsystem starts at system
startup. To enable automatic startup, add the following line to the
system startup program:
STRSBS QWAS7/QWAS7
Results
You have configured your system to run WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment profiles, and might have configured these
profiles to start automatically when the QWAS7 subsystem starts.
What to do next
Deploy an application to get started.
