Use commands to create a profile, start the server of the profile, display ports used by
your server, and open the administrative console.
Before you begin
This task assumes a basic familiarity with the command, other application server commands, and
system commands.
Before you can create and use a profile, you must install the product.
About this task
Perform the following steps to create a profile, start the server of the profile, display ports
used by your server, and open the administrative console for your server.
This example deals with the profile environment of a standalone application server.
Procedure
- Create the server profile from the original installation:
app_server_root\bin\manageprofiles.bat
app_server_root/bin/manageprofiles.sh
app_server_root/bin/manageprofiles
- Change directories to the
profile_root/bin
directory
of the new server profile.
- Start the server.
Issue the startServer command.
startServer.bat server1 -profileName profile_name
startServer.sh server1 -profileName profile_name
The server name is the same name as the profile, which, in this case, is
profile_name.
startServer -profileName profile_name
Note: The -profileName argument is not necessary if you have already changed to the
profile_root/bin
directory of the target profile.
- Display the ports.
These are the ports assigned during profile creation.
Open the portdef.props file in the profile_root\properties
directory.
Open the portdef.props file in the
profile_root/properties directory.
Use the dspwasinst QShell script to display the ports for your new profile:
app_server_root/bin/dspwasinst -profileName profileName
The
WC_adminhost and WC_adminhost_secure ports listed are the nonsecure and secure administrative
console ports, respectively.
- Open the administrative console.
The server1 administrative console is defined on the WC_adminhost setting for the non-secure
administrative console port or the WC_adminhost_secure setting for the secure administrative console
port.
If the value of the WC_adminhost port for your server is 20003, for example, specify the
following web address in your
browser:
http://host_name_or_IP_address:20003/ibm/console/
If the value of the WC_adminhost_secure port for your server is 9061, for example, specify the
following web address in your browser:
https://host_name_or_IP_address:9061/ibm/console/
Results
You created an application server profile, started an application server, and accessed the
administrative console using your browser.
What to do next
Deploy an application.
