Preparing WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for an unmanaged server

Set up IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment for an unmanaged server deployment.

About this task

Use this procedure for custom InfoSphere® MDM installations only.

If you are planning a stand-alone installation, this procedure is not required.

This procedure assumes that you have IBM WebSphere Application Server already installed.

Procedure

  1. Create an unmanaged node on the application server that creates a server named server1 on the node. Use this command from the WAS_HOME\bin directory:

    For Microsoft Windows: manageprofiles.bat -create -profileName nodeProfileName -templatePath profileTemplates\default -federateLater false -dmgrAdminUserName username -enableAdminSecurity true -adminUserName username -adminPassword password

    For Linux or UNIX: manageprofiles.sh -create -profileName nodeProfileName -templatePath profileTemplates/default -federateLater false -dmgrAdminUserName username -enableAdminSecurity true -adminUserName username -adminPassword password

    When you use an unmanaged server, the name of the node server is server1.

  2. Start the node with this command from the WAS_HOME\bin directory:
    Microsoft Windows: startServer.bat -server1 or Linux and UNIX: startServer.sh -server1
  3. Open the IBM WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console (admin console) and set the database driver path:
    1. Go to Environment > WebSphere variables.
    2. For each of the driver path entries that are named for your database type, click the entry.
      For example: DB2_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH, ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH, or MSSQLSERVER_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH.
    3. Enter the path to the parent directory of your database installation directory and click OK. Replace single backslashes with double backslashes.
      For example, if the path is C:\IBM\SQLLIB, then enter C:\\IBM.
    4. Select Save directly to the master configuration.
