Defining preferences for WAS

Using the Preference page, you can define workbench options specific to WebSphere® Application Server.

To find the Preference page for WAS:

  1. From the menu bar of the workbench, select

    Window | Preferences.

  2. In the Preferences window, expand

    Server | WAS

  3. Define the following check box:

    Allow applications containing errors to be published on a server

    Enable this check box if you want to allow applications containing errors to be published on the server. Otherwise, clear this check box if you want to prevent publishing applications that contain errors detected by the workbench onto a WAS. By default, this check box is cleared.

    Tip: You can see these errors in your application using the Problems view (

    Window | Show View | Other | General | Problems | OK).

  4. In the WAS preference page, you can also create WAS profiles. See Creating a profile for a WAS topic for more details.
