Deploying Workplace XT on WebSphere Application Server 7.0

Deploy Workplace XT as an application in the WebSphere® administrative console. You can specify the context root for the application URL during the deployment.

1. Log on to the WebSphere administrative console.
2. Navigate to Applications > WebSphere Enterprise Applications > New Enterprise Applications > Install
3. Select the file to deploy.
   • (If the administrative console is running locally) Select Local file system and enter or browse to the location of the web_client.war or web_client.ear file created by the installation program. For example, install_path/deploy/web_client.war or install_path/deploy/web_client.ear. Do not enter the machine name.
   • (If the administrative console is remote) Select Remote file system and enter the fully-qualified path name to the web_client.war or web_client.ear file. For example, install_path/deploy/web_client.war or install_path/deploy/web_client.ear. Do not enter the machine name.
4. Click Fast Path, and click Next. Complete the dialogs for installing a new application, using the following settings:
   • On the Select installation options page, for Application name, enter Workplace XT, or the name you chose to call the application.
   • On the Map modules to servers page, for Clusters and Servers, specify the server you are planning to use. Verify that your application name is selected and associated with the correct server and nodes, if applicable.
   • On the Map virtual hosts for Web modules page, for virtual host, choose the default_host.
   • (WAR file deployment only) On the Map context roots for Web modules page, for Context root, specify WorkplaceXT, or whatever you want to call the application.
     Tip: The context root is the name of the application you log in to using the Web interface. If you enter WorkplaceXT, the application URL will be http://server_name:port#/WorkplaceXT.
5. Save your configuration.
6. Navigate to Applications > Enterprise Applications > Workplace XT > Class loading and update detection.
7. Set the polling interval for updated files with a number appropriate for your environment, for example, 3 seconds.

9. Click Apply.
10. Click Workplace XT > Manage Modules.
