Question
How can I set up WebSphere Liberty in Linux so it runs as a service for IBM i2 Analyze?
Answer
Pre-requisites:
Operating System: RedHat 6.5
Database: IBM DB2 10.5
HTTP Server: IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5
Please note that the Database and HTTP Server must run on the same machine as the WebSphere Liberty server.
Instructions:
Use the IBM i2 Analyze Deployment Toolkit to deploy the system as normal and test that everything is working before configuring services.
- Copy the ibm-db2 script to /etc/init.d and edit it to ensure that DB2_USER is set to the DB2 database user.
- Copy the ibm-httpserver script to /etc/init.d and edit to ensure APACHECTL points to the location of the IBM HTTP Server.
- Copy the ibm-wlp-i2analyze script to /etc/init.d. Make a copy of this file for each application defined in the topology.xml, replacing i2analyze part of the file-name, with the name of the application. Edit each ibm-wlp-<server-name> file to ensure the APPLICATION_NAME, IBM_JAVA_HOME and LIBERTY_HOME are appropriate for the given server.
- Make each script an executable service.
For ibm-db2 - Run chmod +x /etc/init.d/ibm-db2, then
- Run chkconfig --add ibm-db2
- Test the i2 Analyze servers are working by running each service manually in the following order: ibm-db2, each ibm-wlp-<server-name> and then the ibm-httpserver. For ibm-db2,
- Run service ibm-db2 start
- After a server reboot the i2 Analyze servers should have started. Note: the services may take some time to come up after restarting.
