Setting Workbench server definitions

Within the InfoSphere® MDM Workbench, configure parameters for your WebSphere® Application Server to ensure that your installation runs smoothly.

About this task

Set certain parameters within MDM Workbench to reflect the underlying function of the application and its configuration.

Begin by choosing the option to Run server with resources on Server. This option installs and copies the full application and its server-specific configuration from the Workbench into the directories of the server. This option reflects the way that the application and configuration are deployed to the production environment. In particular, a CBA is physically built, packaged, and deployed in the internal bundle repository of the WebSphere Application Server.

Second, choose the option to Never publish automatically. If you do not choose this option, a time-consuming publishing operation occurs every time a simple change occurs in the workspace.

Third, unchecking the option to Start server with a generated script allows MDM logging to occur without issues.
