In Version 6.0, installing WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is a two-step process. The first step is using the installation wizard to install a set of shared product binaries (system files). The second step is using the Profile creation wizard to create a profile. Application Server profiles are the run-time environments for Application Server processes. This topic describes common scenarios for creating Application Server profiles and provides links to profile creation procedures for each scenario.

The primary production configuration is an Application Server on one machine and a Web server on a separate machine. This configuration is referred to as a remote configuration. Contrast the remote configuration to the local configuration, which consists of the Application Server and the Web server on the same machine. Either configuration requires the Web server plug-in modules on the Web server machine.

After installing the Application Server and a Web server, you can install a WebSphere Application Server plug-in for a supported Web server. The binary plug-in is unique per Web server. The purpose of the binary plug-in is to provide the communication protocol between the Web server and the Application Server.

The HTTP channel provides client applications with persistent HTTP connections to remote hosts that are either blocked by firewalls and/or require an HTTP proxy server (including authentication). An HTTP channel is used to exchange application data in the body of an HTTP request and HTTP response sent to and received from a remote server. HTTP channels enable client-side applications to poll the remote host and to use HTTP requests to either send data from the client or to receive data from an application server. In either case, neither the client nor the application server are unaware that HTTP is being used to exchange the data. Configure the HTTP channel within the application server Documentation link Documentation

If you intend to use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport (also known as HTTPS), in addition to the plug-in files, you must also install the Global Security Kit (GSKit) on the workstation hosting your Web server. This kit helps the Web server connect to your Application Server. Enable your Web server to use HTTPS in addition to HTTP Documentation link Documentation

Virtual hosts enable you to isolate, and independently manage, multiple sets of resources on the same physical machine. A virtual host is a configuration enabling a single host machine to resemble multiple host machines. Resources associated with one virtual host cannot share data with resources associated with another virtual host, even if the virtual hosts share the same physical machine.

The Web server plug-in contains a built-in ESI processor. The ESI processor has the ability to cache whole pages, as well as fragments, providing a higher cache hit ratio. The cache implemented by the ESI processor is an in-memory cache, not a disk cache, therefore, the cache entries are not saved when the Web server is restarted. Configure Edge Side Include (ESI) for performance Documentation link Documentation
