PQ75051: CO-EXIST DOCUMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT INSTALLEDAPPS.

 A fix is available

4.0.7: WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 Fix Pack 7



APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
The following infocenter link has to be updated to include the i
nstalledApps information.

http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v40/ae/
infocenter/was/rncoexist.html
The link has information about having multiple instance,but it d
oes not have information about installing applications. All the
installedApps will go only in to installedApps directory. This i
nformation has to go in to infocenter. Please read the PMR 37737
,278,00 for more update. Also please comminicate with
WEBSJAVA.COEXISTANCE_DOCfor more information to update in the i
nfocenter. If there is an example to install an application afte
r creating multiple instance , it will be great.
WebSphere Application Server

Local fix
Infocenter has to be updated ASAP to provide the changes for ins
talledApps.

*                 the 4.0.6 InfoCenter. These topics are       *
*                 instructions for co-existence. One of the    *
*                 topics within co-existence is "Enabling      *

The documentation in the InfoCenter needs to be updated to
include the steps to deploy a user's application when enabling
co-existence of multiple domains of WebSphere Application Server
Advanced Edition Version 4.0 from a single installation using a
single instance of a Web server. The documentation also needs to
be updated to explain how to configure the plug-ins and
re-direct requests for multiple WebSphere Application Server
instances. Examples are needed for both situations.

The key differences to deploying a user's application as
opposed to the Default Server are:

- For each instance, the user needs to deploy an EAR file to the
installableApps directory.  They must have unique names, because
all instances share this directory. Further, the EAR files are
touched by WebSphere during deploy.
- For each instance, the user needs to deploy the uniquely named
EAR files into the same installedApps directory.  As a result,
each instance will access unique subdirectories in
installedApps.

The second problem is how to configure the plug-ins for multiple
WebSphere Application Server instances.  The documentation
implies installing multiple plug-ins for a single Web server
instance that listens on port 80.  For users of WebSphere
versions that do not support the same version of a specific Web
server, it is necessary to:
- Configure multiple Web server instances, with only one
listening on port 80
- The Web server listening on port 80 may have as few as ZERO or
ONE WebSphere plug-in.
- For any URL that is to be handled by another Web server
instance, the Web server listening on port 80 needs to redirect
the request to a different port so that the appropriate Web
server and WebSphere combination can serve the request.

This scenario is not documented in the InfoCenter.
Problem conclusion
The WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0.7 InfoCenter will
include the following information updates:

- Add steps to deploy a user's application when enabling
co-existence of multiple domains of WebSphere Application
Server Advanced Edition Version 4.0 from a single installation
using a single instance of a Web server.

- Add steps on how to configure plug-ins and re-direct requests
for multiple instances.

-Add examples for all the tasks above.
