WebSphere® Application Server runs in its own subsystem, called QWAS85, which is installed with
the product. Use these steps to configure application servers to start
automatically when the QWAS85 subsystem starts.
Procedure
- Give your user profile authority to the QWAS85/QWASJOBD
job description and QWAS85/QWAS85 subsystem description. For each profile:
- Create a duplicate of the job description used by WebSphere Application Server profiles. For example, issue the following command on the CL command
line:
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QWASJOBD) FROMLIB(QWAS85) OBJTYPE(*JOBD) TOLIB(mywasjobd)
NEWOBJ(myserv)
- Change the user of the duplicate job description (jobd)
from *RQD to QEJBSVR to avoid multiple job descriptions with the same
user. For example, issue the following command on the CL
command line:
CHGJOBD JOBD(mywasjobd/myserv) USER(QEJBSVR)
- Use the CHGJOBD command to change the newly created
job description such that the Request data or command (RQSDTA) field
starts the new server. For example, to start the default
profile for the application server (server1) when the subsystem is
started, set the RQSDTA field as follows:
'QSYS/CALL PGM(product_library/QWASSTRSVR) PARM(''-profilePath''
''user_data_root/profiles/default''
''-server'' ''server1'')'
Important: If a stand-alone application server has been federated,
or added, to a WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment cell, specify the node agent server. If the node agent is not
active, application servers cannot start.
- Configure an application
server so that it is automatically started by the node agent. To configure application servers in your WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment cell to start
automatically when you start the node agent for the node that contains
the application server:
- In the administrative console, click .
- Click the application server that you want to start
automatically.
- Under Server Infrastructure, click and change the setting of the Node Restart
property to RUNNING.
- Click , and then click to save the configuration changes.
- Add an autostart job entry to the QWAS85/QWAS85 subsystem. Enter the following command from the CL command line:
ADDAJE SBSD(QWAS85/QWAS85) JOB(myserv) JOBD(mywasjobd/myserv)
- Optional: Configure the system such that the
QWAS85 subsystem starts during system startup. To enable
automatic startup, add the following line to the system startup program:
STRSBS QWAS85/QWAS85
