Installing on a managed server

You can install WSRR on a managed server in a WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment cell.

The following steps describe the major tasks required to install WSRR on a managed server.

1. Install WSRR on the deployment manager system.
2. Install WSRR on each of the managed server systems.
3. Create a WSRR deployment manager profile on the deployment manager system. For details on how to create a profile, including a deployment manager profile, see Creating profiles. Start the Deployment Manager.
4. Create a WSRR custom profile for the node agent on each of the managed servers. For details on how to create a profile, including a custom profile, see Creating profiles.
5. In the Deployment Manager administrative console, add the managed servers as managed nodes; for details, see Adding, managing, and removing nodes in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center.
6. Create a new server on the managed node; for details, see Creating application servers in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center.
7. Ensure that you have a JDBC driver set up for each server. JDBC drivers are installed with WSRR, and are located in the WSRR_INSTALL/jdbcdrivers directory. You can, however, use your own drivers if preferred. If you use your own drivers, copy the driver to each managed server and update the appropriate WebSphere environment variable to point to their location. The environment variables are DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH, ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH, or MICROSOFT_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH.
8. Run the appropriate database creation scripts to create your WSRR database (see Creating the WSRR database from scripts you have created).
9. From the Deployment Manager administrative console for the profile that you created, run the deploy WSRR wizard to deploy an instance of WSRR to each of the managed servers (see Deploying WSRR from the administrative console).
10. Load and activate a WSRR configuration profile. WSRR provides the governance enablement profile, located in the <WAS_INSTALL_ROOT>/WSRR/config directory: For details of how to load and activate a WSRR configuration profile, see Loading a configuration profile and Activating a configuration profile.
