How To
Summary
The HTTP Group PTFs released in March 2023 will automatically do the removal of heritage Navigator for i.
The HTTP Group PTFs released in June 2023 will return ADMIN2 to be started by default.
With the heritage Navigator removed, the ADMIN2 server can be started and the LDAP interface is accessible by default.
Heritage Navigator is not available in 7.5 and later releases.
Objective
- There is no longer any need to do the removal of heritage IBM Navigator for i from ADMIN2 configuration with the current HTTP group PTFs.
- As of June 2023 HTTP group PTF update, ADMIN2 will be started by default for LDAP.
(1) End the ADMIN2 server:
> ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*IAS) INSTANCE(ADMIN2)
(2) Remove heritage IBM Navigator for i configurations within the ADMIN2 folder. The first one is required, the second and third are optional.
- Edit server.xml at /qibm/userdata/os/ADMININST/admin2/wlp/usr/servers/admin2/server.xml
- Remove line: <include location="/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Navigator/appdata/server.xml"/>
- Edit jvm.options at /qibm/userdata/os/ADMININST/admin2/wlp/usr/servers/admin2/jvm.options
- Remove line: -Dos400.property.file=/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Navigator/appdata/navigator.jvm.options
- Edit bootstrap.properties at /qibm/userdata/os/ADMININST/admin2/wlp/usr/servers/admin2/bootstrap.properties
- Remove line: bootstrap.include=/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Navigator/appdata/bootstrap.properties
(3) Start the ADMIN2 server:
- STRTCPSVR SERVER(*IAS) INSTANCE(ADMIN2)
To add heritage IBM Navigator for i back to run under ADMIN2, add the removed lines back and restart the ADMIN2 server.
With April 2025 ADMIN 7.4 PTF SJ05008 installed, you will also need to run this command to restore links (will generate AF entries for attempts to access New Navigator directories):
ln -s /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Navigator/extension /QIBM/UserData/OS/AdminInst/admin2/wlp/usr/extension
