Step 1: Install the product

The simplest scenario is to perform a typical installation of a single appserver.

You can use the WAS Express product. It has a single appserver and its trial program code is available at no cost.

Step 2: Obtain or develop your application

In the simplest scenario, you already have a packaged, J2EE 1.4 compliant Web application, perhaps from a vendor with whom you work. Other than that, a Web application is the most simple type of application to develop

For more info, see the Samples Gallery.

 

Step 3: Deploy and test your application

In the simplest scenario, you will use the application installation wizard available in the console.

  • You are deploying a Web application

  • You accept the default settings whenever possible

  • Your application does not require data access

  • Your application does not require security

Also, in many situations, you can get by without modifying the default appserver configuration.

 

Step 4: Administer your deployed application

In the simplest scenario, you will monitor your application with the Tivoli Performance Viewer functionality built into the console.

Now you should have some insight into the task flow for successfully deploying your applications.

To solidify and expand your understanding, view the following table. It shows the user role and task assumptions by which this documentation is organized, for predictability. If you know what role or task you are performing, you can disregard (at least temporarily) documentation that is labeled for other roles or tasks. By their nature, role and task models are simplified compared to reality. Also, one person might perform many roles and tasks in the course of a day.
