Web server definition

To administer or manage a web server using the administrative console, you must create a web server definition or object in the WebSphere® Application Server repository.

The creation of this object is exclusive of the actual installation of a web server. The web server object in the WebSphere Application Server repository represents the web server for administering and managing the web server from the administrative console.

The web server object contains the following web server properties: In addition to web server properties, the web server contains a plug-in object. The plug-in object contains properties that define the plugin-cfg.xml file.

The definitions of the web server object are made using the wsadmin command or the administrative console. You can also define a web server object in the WebSphere Application Server repository using the profile create script during installation, a .jacl script, and by using the administrative console wizard.

There are three types of WebSphere Application Server nodes upon which you can create a web server. The type depends on the version of WebSphere Application Server, as follows:
Web servers, which are not IBM HTTP Servers for WebSphere Application Server, are not fully administered from the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. The administration functions for Web servers, which are not IBM HTTP Servers for WebSphere Application Server, are:
Special consideration for IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, powered by Apache: To support remote administration and configuration of IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, a web server type IHSZOS must be defined in the WebSphere Application Server repository.
Important: During profile creation, using the z/OS Profile Management Tool, if you select Advanced profile creation and Create a web server definition, you will not be permitted to select the combination of web server type IBM HTTP Server and web server operating system of z/OS. However, you can create the web server type for IBM HTTP Server on z/OS through the administrative console wizard, createWebServerDefintion.jacl, or the wsadmin command after the profile create, using the z/OS Profile Management Tool.

For information about the available service levels that include support for the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS powered by Apache, consult the WebSphere Application Server Support website for the z/OS platform.
