Troubleshooting
Problem
On WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, web servers with Intelligent Management enabled do not start. A failure occurs during the initial connection to the Intelligent Management Representational State Transfer (REST) service. The WebSphere web server plug-in falls back to static routes, if they are available in the plugin-cfg.xml configuration file. Otherwise, the web server is unable to serve applications.
Resolving The Problem
- Create custom properties to resolve the web server start issue. In the administrative console, go to Servers > Server types > Web servers > webserver1 > Plug-in properties > Custom properties, and click New. Configure the following custom properties:
Name: KeyringLocation
Value: safkeyring:///WASKeyring2048
Name: StashfileLocation
Value: ""
Name: CertLabel
Value: MSTONE1WASCert2048.BBOC001
For more information, see the Web server plug-in custom properties section in the WAS documentation.
- Generate and propagate the plugin-cfg.xml file.
- Edit the resulting plugin-cfg.xml file to remove the key database file entries under each connector. For example:
<Connector host="ZWASC022.Z.BIGBIZ.COM" port="47062" protocol="https">
<!--Property name="keyring" value="/IBMIHS/webserver1/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-key.kdb"/-->
</Connector>
- Restart the web server. An error message displays:
ERROR: OdrConnector kdb property NOT set, attempting fallback.
Attempting fallback indicates that the web server uses the new global properties.
