Setting WebSphere Application Server parameters

If you are using WebSphere® Application Server as your application server for running IBM® Product Master, you must verify the configuration settings, start the application server, configure group and server settings, run some scripts, and then start the application server.

Before you begin

Before you can set up Product Master, you must ensure that it is configured.

Procedure

  1. Configure the [appserver.websphere] section with the following parameters:
    application_server_profile
    The name of the WebSphere Application Server profile.
    cell_name
    The name of the WebSphere Application Server cell where Product Master is installed.
    node_name
    The name of the node in the WebSphere Application Server cell where Product Master is installed.
    admin_security
    Set this parameter to true if WebSphere Application Server administrative security is enabled.
  2. Configure the [appserver.appsvr] section with the following parameters:
    port
    The port that Product Master runs on.
    appserver_name
    The name of the WebSphere Application Server component, which is created in a later step.
    vhost_name
    The name of the WebSphere Application Server virtual host component, which is created in a later step.
  3. Add the security parameters username and password to the [appserver.websphere] section.
    For example:
    # Application server admin user name and password.  This info is 
     required WebSphere when admin_security
     in [appserver.websphere] section is set to true. If username
     and password are not provided in env_settings.ini, user will
     need to provide the values in the command line when invoking
     scripts like start_local.sh or otherwise the user will be 
    prompted to enter the values before the execution of the 
    script will continue. 
     #username=
     #password=
    Note: If you choose not to save the credential information in the env_settins.ini file, you can provide it from the command line while running install_war.sh file.
