Tinkering with WebSphere Application Server v9 - Part Two

Following on from my earlier post: -


I've made much better progress with WAS 9, which is nice :-)

So here's my installation response file: -

from which I installed the IBM Installation Manager (IIM), WAS and Java binaries: -

/tmp/im/tools/imcl -input installWAS9.rsp -acceptLicense
Installed com.ibm.cic.agent_1.8.5000.20160506_1125 to the /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse directory.
Installed com.ibm.websphere.BASE.v90_9.0.0.20160526_1854 to the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer directory.
Installed com.ibm.java.jdk.v8_8.0.3000.20160526_1317 to the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer directory.

and then verified: -

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl listInstalledPackages -long -features

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse : com.ibm.cic.agent_1.8.5000.20160506_1125 : IBM® Installation Manager : 1.8.5 :

before creating a standard application-server profile: -

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/manageprofiles.sh -create -profileName AppSrv01 -nodeName localhostNode01 -hostName localhost -adminUserName wasadmin -cellName localhostNode01Cell -enableAdminSecurity true -serverName server1 -profilePath /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01 -templatePath /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profileTemplates/default -applyPerfTuningSetting standard -adminPassword passw0rd

INSTCONFSUCCESS: Success: Profile AppSrv01 now exists. Please consult /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/logs/AboutThisProfile.txt for more information about this profile.

from which I started the server1 instance: -

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/bin/startServer.sh server1

ADMU0116I: Tool information is being logged in file
           /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/logs/server1/startServer.log

ADMU3100I: Reading configuration for server: server1
ADMU3200I: Server launched. Waiting for initialization status.
ADMU3000I: Server server1 open for e-business; process id is 12356


and then ran the Installation Verification Test (IVT): -

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/bin/ivt.sh server1 AppSrv01

Server name is:server1
Profile name is:AppSrv01
Profile home is:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01

IVTL0070I: The Installation Verification Tool verification succeeded.
IVTL0080I: The installation verification is complete.


ending with a spot of functional testing: -









and a bit of remote admin: -

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/bin/wsadmin.sh 

Realm/Cell Name: <default>
Username: wasadmin
Password:         
 WASX7209I: Connected to process "server1" on node localhostNode01 using SOAP connector;  The type of process is: UnManagedProcess
WASX7031I: For help, enter: "print Help.help()"
wsadmin>
wsadmin>print AdminTask.listNodes()
localhostNode01
wsadmin>quit

before shutting down the JVM: -

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/bin/stopServer.sh server1 -user wasadmin -password passw0rd

ADMU0116I: Tool information is being logged in file
           /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/logs/server1/stopServer.log
ADMU0128I: Starting tool with the AppSrv01 profile
ADMU3100I: Reading configuration for server: server1
ADMU3201I: Server stop request issued. Waiting for stop status.
ADMU4000I: Server server1 stop completed.


Next, I'll be integrating with DB2 and MQ, before deploying a business application stack such as IBM Operational Decision Manager to WAS 9 ….

Thank you! this is very helpful post... i was stuck from 2 days to install websphere..
This post made it with ease... thank you! :)

Saurav said...

Can you please write a blog for how to uninstall these all packages? It will be really helpful like this too..

Dave Hay said...

Hi Saurav, thanks for the comments. The easiest way to uninstall packages such as WAS is to use Installation Manager.

You can either use the GUI ( IBMIM ) or the command-line ( imcl ).

As an example, this will uninstall EVERYTHING apart from IM itself: -

/opt/ibm/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl uninstallAll

Cheers, Dave

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
