IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Retrieving installation options from the WebSphere server configuration files
You do not have to provide all the installation options during the Managing Server (MS) split installation procedure. Some of these options can be retrieved from the WebSphere server configuration files. These are:
- WAS_HOSTNAME
- Specifies the fully qualified host name or IP address of the computer where the WAS is installed.
- WAS_SOAP_PORT
- Specifies the connector port that the WAS uses to send commands using the SOAP.
- WAS_APP_PORT
- Specifies the HTTP service port of the WebSphere application server. You can access applications installed on the WebSphere application server through this port.
The split Managing Server installation can retrieve the WAS_SOAP_PORT and WAS_HOSTNAME options from the wsadmin.properties file that is located in the WAS_HOME/properties directory.
The WAS_APP_PORT option is retrieved from the serverindex.xml file that is located in the WAS_HOME/config/cells/Cellname/nodes/Nodename/ directory. The Managing Server split installation obtains the information about where to find the WebSphere server configuration files from its ITCAM_INSTALL.properties file.
Perform these steps to make sure that the Managing Server installation can read these options from the WebSphere server configuration files:
- Open the ITCAM_INSTALL.properties file for edition.
- Modify the WAS_PROFILEHOME property.
- Make sure that the property line is uncommented. If it is preceded by a number (#) character delete the character.
- Provide the path to the WebSphere profile home directory in the property line as in the following example:
WAS_PROFILEHOME=C:\\WebSphere61ND\\profiles\\AppSrv01
You must replace the backslash (\) character in the Windows path with a double backslash (\\), as in the example above. The Linux path must have the following format:WAS_PROFILEHOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01
- Save the ITCAM_INSTALL.properties file and exit editing mode.
