PQ55155: DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO CLARIFY INCORRECT CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DMZ, HTTP SERVER, PLUGIN AND WEBSPHERE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

APAR status Closed as documentation error. Error description The documentation in two of the WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390 publications incorrectly reflects the configuration requirements for the DMZ, HTTP server, plugin and WebSphere. The documentation is incorrect in V400 and V401 publications. In the "Getting Started with WebSphere Application Server" book, the documented configuration does not apply for WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390 and it should either be clarified what the correct setup for z/OS and OS/390 should be or the book itself should be removed from the zOS and OS/390 library since it contains other information that is incorrect for z/OS and OS390. The "Assembling J2EE Applications" book, contains information on setting up the HTTP server with WAS for z/OS and OS/390 but does not mention the requirement that the HTTP server must reside on the same system that has a WAS Daemon instance running on it. It is more important to get the information correct in the books specific to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and OS/390, such as "Assembling J2EE Applications" and "Installation and Customization". A suggested correction could be: "In order for web applications to be invoked, you must either 1) configure the HTTP Transport Handler in the J2EE Servers containing the web applications or 2) install and configure one or more HTTP servers containing the WebSphere Plug-In within the same Sysplex as the J2EE Servers containing the installed web applications. An instance of a WebSphere Application Server Daemon (the proc is called BBODMN in the shipped sample procs) must be active on each system in the Sysplex where an HTTP server is installed in order for it to communicate with the J2EE Servers."Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The documentation in two of the * * WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390 * * publications incorrectly reflects the * * configuration requirements for the * * DMZ, HTTP server, V3.5 run-time * * environment (also known as the plug-in),* * and WebSphere for z/OS. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Documentation is required to clarify incorrect configuration requirements for the DMZ, HTTP SERVER, V3.5 run-time environment (also known as the plug-in), and WebSphere for z/OS. The documentation in two of the WebSphere for z/OS publications incorrectly reflects the configuration requirements for the DMZ, HTTP server, V3.5 run-time environment, and WebSphere for z/OS. "Getting Started with WebSphere Application Server" does not document the correct configuration for WebSphere for z/OS. "Assembling J2EE Applications contains information on setting up the HTTP server with WebSphere for z/OS, but does not mention the requirement that the HTTP server must reside on the same system that has a WebSphere Daemon instance running on it.Problem conclusion New sections in Installation and Customization and Assembling J2EE Applications were added in the current editions of these manuals. The sections explain the HTTP Transport Handler and the V3.5 run-time environment (aka plug-in). A new rule is added for the WebSphere V3.5 run-time environment: Rule: For HTTP Servers to communicate with the J2EE servers, an instance of the WebSphere for z/OS Daemon (whose default start procedure is BBODMN) must be active on each system in the sysplex where an HTTP Server is installed. In addition, "Getting Started with WebSphere Application Server" has been removed from the WebSphere for z/OS library.Temporary fix Comments
