Creating servers

For WebSphere® Process Server, you can create servers using either the wsadmin createApplicationServer command or the Create New Application Server wizard in the administrative console.

Before you begin

This task assumes that you have installed and configured the product.

Why and when to perform this task

Create servers to provide a processing environment for WebSphere Process Server applications.

Steps for this task

Choose the method and complete the steps for that method
Method Steps to complete
Create New Application Server wizard
  1. In the administrative console Application Servers page, click New to open the Create New Application Server page
  2. Define your server by doing the following:
    1. Select a node for the server.
    2. Type a name for the server. The name must be unique within the node.
    3. Select the defaultProcessServer template to create the server. You can also use an existing application server as a template. The new process server inherits all properties of the template server.
  3. Select whether the new server will have unique ports for each HTTP transport.

    By default, this option is enabled. If you select this option, you might need to update the alias list for the virtual host that you plan to use with this server to contain these new port values. (This includes the host alias that you use for the Business Process Choreographer configuration in step 4. Business Process Choreographer is itself an application and requires host_alias management.) If you clear this option, ensure that the default port values do not conflict with other servers on the same workstation.

    Note: If you create the server using an existing application server as a model, do not select to map applications from the existing server to the new server. By default, this option is disabled.
  4. Optional: Configure Business Process Choreographer, if the server will run applications that contain business processes or human tasks. See Configuring Business Process Choreographer for more information.
  5. Install the SchedulerCalendars application on one or more servers as described in Configuring Business Process Choreographer
  6. Optional: To use multiple language encoding support in the administrative console, configure an application server with UTF-8 encoding enabled.
