Overview

WebSphere Application Server (WAS) software comes in packages types...

WAS - Express
WAS
WAS Network Deployment
WAS for z/OS

The Express product is the entry point for a single machine.
The Base WAS product differs from the WAS Express product in licensing and tooling support.
The Network Deployment product and the WAS for z/OS product include all of the Application Server functionality of the other two products and also offer multiple-machine hosting and centralized management through a deployment manager process.
IBM WAS for z/OS is a full-function version of the Network Deployment product.
The management interface for all WAS product offerings includes a scripting interface and the administrative console, which is a Web application.
The scripting interface and the administrative console of the deployment manager are enhanced for managing all of the Application Server nodes in a distributed network cell. From the single point of control of the deployment manager, we can define servers, Web server processes, and clusters. We can start and stop servers and cluster members and deploy applications anywhere in the cell.

WAS - Express

The administration model for WAS Express is a single-server environment without clustering and without centralized administration of multiple server instances.
The Express product package includes...

Rational Web Developer IDE tool (formerly WebSphere Studio Site Developer)
Application Server Toolkit

Installing the Express product offering on the same machine as the Rational Web Developer is not necessary. The IDE contains a replica of the WAS product as a test environment.

WAS Base

The WAS base offers a single-server environment without clustering and without centralized administration of multiple server instances.
The development environment offering is the Application Server Toolkit and a trial version of a Rational Tool product.

WAS Network Deployment

WAS Network Deployment offers processes that run in multiple-server production scenarios. Use the Network Deployment product to create:

Cells
Provides a deployment manager profile that contains a federated application server on the same machine or partition.
Deployment managers
Provides centralized administration of managed Application Server nodes and custom nodes as a single cell. The deployment manager provides basic clustering and caching support, including failover support and workload balancing. Use the Edge components in the Network Deployment package to further extend the environment with sophisticated caching, load balancing, and enhanced security functions.
Application servers
The application server profile in the Network Deployment product can run in a deployment manager cell as a managed node or on its own as a standalone application server.
Custom
A custom profile has an empty node that add to a deployment manager cell to customize and use. Use the administrative console of the deployment manager to create servers and clusters on the custom managed node. Consider the custom node as a production-ready shell, ready for customization to contain your production-level servers and applications.

WAS for z/OS

This product offering addresses WAS processes that run in multiple-server production scenarios in a UNIX space in z/OS regions. Use WAS for z/OS to create:

Deployment managers
The deployment manager provides centralized administration of federated application server nodes and managed nodes as a single cell. The deployment manager provides basic clustering and caching support, including failover support and workload balancing.
Application servers
The application server profile in WAS for z/OS can run in a deployment manager cell as a federated node or on its own as a standalone application server.
Custom
A custom or managed node is an empty node until you add it to the deployment manager cell for customization. Use the administrative console of the deployment manager to create servers and clusters on the managed node. Consider the managed node as a production-ready shell, ready for customization to contain your production-level servers and applications.

Installation and operating model

In V6.x, the core product binary data is separate from the data that you create as you define and customize your WAS runtime environment. We can have multiple sets of customized runtime environments. Each environment is known as a profile.
Application server environments that are created during product installation

Product Default environments Application server processes created during installation
WAS - Express One standalone application server profile and the Profile creation wizard for creating other application server profiles on the same machine. server1
WAS One standalone application server profile and the Profile creation wizard for creating other application server profiles on the same machine. server1
Network Deployment
A default runtime environment is not created during installation of the core product files.
From the last installation panel, we can launch the Profile Creation wizard to create one of the three available profiles:

Deployment manager profile
Application server profile
Custom profile

Launchpad console

The launchpad is the focal point for installing from the product compact disc or DVD media, with important guidance for creating typical topology scenarios. Diagrams help you identify the types of systems that we can create. The launchpad is in the root directory of the product disc.
The launchpad works on installable components in the primary packet of discs. Select and launch any of the components on the product disc or view their HTML documentation on the disc.
Use the launchpad command if the program does not start automatically when you insert the product disc:

./launchpad.sh
launchpad.bat

See Using the launchpad to start the installation for more information.
If we cannot start the launchpad, see the appropriate locale-specific readme file in the root directory on the disc. We can also launch the installation programs directly, using the information in the following table:

Launch command Documentation Name of installable component
WAS/install WAS/readme/readme_en.html
WAS/docs/InstallGuide_en.html
The Getting Started guide contains these HTML files. The guide is also available in Adobe PDF format.
The name of the component varies per product offering:

WAS – Express
WAS
WAS Network Deployment

IHS/install IHS/readme/readme_en.html
IHS/docs/InstallGuide_en.html
The IBM HTTP Server tolerates a non-root installation, but we cannot install the Global Services Kit 7 (GSKit 7) that is required for HTTPS security. We can install IBM HTTP Server as a non-root user, then log on as root to install the GSKit program from the directory on the product disc.

WAS products require that you log on as root on an operating system such as AIX or Linux to install.
Set the umask to 022 for security purposes after logging on as root before you install
umask 022
Set file permissions to 755 after installation, as in the following example for one file
chmod 755 setupCmdLine.sh
For DVD media, if you do not use the launchpad, an additional directory prefix is required before the product directory that reflects the operating system and architecture of the installation. For example, the following installation path applies when you use CD-ROM media to install the Microsoft Windows version of the product on the 32-bit architecture
install_root/WAS/install.exe
However, the following installation path applies when you use DVD media to install the Microsoft Windows version of the product on the 32-bit architecture
install_root/win_ia32/WAS/install.exe
Other directories on the product and supplements discs contain components that are automatically installed during one or more of the installation procedures for the installable components.

The Rational Agent Controller provides a technology for problem determination. The Rational Agent Controller is an enhancement to the Agent Controller from the Autonomic Computing Toolkit, which IBM donated in large part to the Hyades Project.
Install the Rational Agent Controller on one of the supported machine environments. Another machine (perhaps an administrator workstation) can use the Log and Trace Analyzer to establish communication with the agent on the remote machine.
The Analyzer can request a specific log file from the Rational Agent Controller. The agent uses the appropriate log file parser to normalize the native log to a Common Base Event format and transfers the log file to the Log and Trace Analyzer.
Create log file parsers for the Rational Agent Controller with the Common Base Event model builder, which is included in the Autonomic Computing Toolkit.
