How to configure JMSAdmin on Solaris using the WebSphere Application Server Name Service on a remote machine
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
The JMSAdmin tool is used to bind JMS resources to the WebSphere® Application Server 4.0 namespace. JMSAdmin can be run from a machine remote to WebSphere, but WebSphere's ns.jar (located in WebSphere_root/lib) must be on the classpath. When JMSAdmin is run on a Solaris™ machine that is remote to WebSphere, you must do additional configuration steps.
 
 
Solution
In addition to copying the ns.jar from the WebSphere server to the machine where JMSAdmin is run, the following steps must be performed. Copy the files mentioned below must from a WebSphere Application Server installation on Solaris.
  1. Create a new directory under the Sun JDK™ called ibm_bin.

  2. Copy all the files from the $WSAS_HOME/java/ibm_bin directory to the new $Sun_JDK/ibm_bin directory.

  3. Create a new directory under the Sun JDK called ibm_lib.

  4. Copy the following files from $WSAS_HOME/java/ibm_lib directory to the Sun_JDK/ibm_lib directory:
    • ir.idl
    • orb.idl

  5. Copy all the files from the $WSAS_HOME/java/jre/lib/ext directory to the $Sun_JDK/jre/lib/ext directory.

  6. Copy the $WSAS_HOME/java/jre/lib/orb.properties to the $Sun_JDK/jre/lib/ directory.

  7. Copy the following files from the $WSAS_HOME/java/jre/lib/sparc directory to the $Sun_JDK/jre/lib/sparc directory:
    • liborb.so
    • liborb_g.so

  8. Copy the following files from $WSAS_HOME/java/lib directory to $Sun_JDK/lib/ directory.
    • ibmtools.jari
    • ir.idl
    • orb.idl

  9. Copy the file $WSAS_HOME/java/jre/lib/security/java.security to the $Sun_JDK/jre/lib/security directory.

  10. Ensure that you maintain all of the same access rights.

After you complete these steps, the JMSAdmin tool is able to connect to the WebSphere namespace successfully.
