After you install and set up WebSphere Process Server, you mainly
need to monitor and control incorporated nodes and the resources on those
nodes by using the administrative console.
You must complete the following tasks that are documented in the Setting up administrative architecture topic in the WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.0.x information center
including the additional steps to configure WebSphere Process Server that
are noted below.
Use the settings page for an administrative service to configure
administrative services.
Configure cells.
Prerequisites:
- An instance of the database product must be installed.
- A WebSphere Process Server database must be created in that instance.
- Tables for that database must be set up. This can be done during installation
with the Profile Wizard. Or, later, changes can be made for database configuration
using DBUtility.bat and DBUtility.sh batch
files that will automatically set up the tables for the supported database
types. DBUtility.bat and DBUtility.sh are
available in install_root\bin\ .
Configure deployment managers.
In additional
to the steps in the Configure deployment managers topic in the WebSphere Network
Deployment information center, WebSphere Process Server requires a variable
of where the database is installed. On the administrative console, select
Environment
> WebSphere Variables > (the scope of node) > DatabaseName_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH.
The following variables can be used:
- For DB2: DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For Informix: INFORMIX_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For Oracle: ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For SQL Server: CONNECTJDBC_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For a user-defined database: User-defined _JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For Cloudscape: not supported for distributed environments
For more information, see Configure variables.
Manage nodes.
In addition to the steps in the
Manage nodes topic in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
information center, WebSphere Process Server requires a variable of where
the database is installed. On the administrative console, select
Environment
> WebSphere Variables > (the scope of cell) > DatabaseName_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH.
The following variables can be used:
- For DB2: DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For Informix: INFORMIX_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For Oracle: ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For SQL Server: CONNECTJDBC_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For a user-defined database: User-defined _JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
- For Cloudscape: not supported for distributed environments
For more information, see Configure variables.
- Manage node agents according to the instructions in
the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment information center.
- Manage node groups according to the instructions in
the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment information center.
- Configure remote file services according to the instructions
in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment information center.
