This article describes how to verify that the deployment
manager is running before you start the administrative console.
About this task
Before you start the administrative console or add a node
to the Network Deployment domain, verify that the Network Deployment
environment is running.
When the Network Deployment environment
is ready for use, a message is written to the job log of the application
server job for the Deployment Manager indicating that the Network
Deployment environment is ready. Use this procedure to determine if
the Network Deployment environment is running.
Procedure
- Run the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB)
command from the Control Language (CL) command line, specifying the
proper subsystem on the subsystem (SBS) parameter:
- Find the server job for your deployment manager profile.
For the default deployment manager profile, the server job is named
DMGR.
- Specify option 5 (Work with Job) on
the option line next to the job, then press Enter.
- On the command line of the Work with Job display, specify
option 10 (Display job log, if active), then
press Enter.
- Press F10 to display all messages.
Look for this message:
WebSphere application server application_server ready.
The application_server variable
is the name of your application server. For the default deployment
manager profile, the application server for the deployment manager
is named dmgr.
If the message is not displayed, press F5 to
refresh the job log messages until the message displays.
When
the message is displayed, the Network Deployment environment is successfully
running. The message can take up to 20 minutes to display, depending
on your IBM i server.
- To display the port number on which the deployment manager
is listening for the administrative console, position the cursor on
the last line of the message and press F1.
This message is displayed:
WebSphere application server application_server
in job app_server_job is ready to handle
administrative requests on port port_number.
The application_server variable
is the name of the deployment manager application server. The app_server_job variable
is the IBM® i job name
for the deployment manager application server. The port_number variable
is the number of the port used by the administrative console.
- Press F3 twice to exit.
