Configure WebSphere grid endpoints
This topic explains how to set up a WebSphere grid endpoint.
Procedure
- Install a batch application on a server or cluster using the admin console.
- If the application is the first batch application installed on the server or cluster, restart the server or cluster.
Results
The WebSphere grid endpoints are automatically set up. By installing the application on the deployment target, the common batch container is automatically deployed on the server or cluster selected using the default Apache Derby data source jdbc/pgc. The default file-based Derby data source can be used only when using the batch function on a stand-alone application server. If we have a WAS Network Deployment environment, use a network database.If you use the default Derby data source, no further action is required. If you use a different data source, complete the following steps to make the data source available to the WebSphere grid endpoints.
- From the admin console, go to Environment > WebSphere Variables.
- Select Cell scope from the list.
- Edit the GRID_ENDPOINT_DATASOURCE variable to point to the JNDI lookup name of the job scheduler data source.
- Save the configuration.
- Restart all endpoints.
