Shared library collection
Use this page to define a list of shared library files that deployed applications can use. From the console...
Environment > Shared libraries .
Change the scope to see what shared libraries are in a particular node or server. By default, a shared library is accessible to applications deployed (or installed) on the same node as the shared library file. To change the scope, select the cell, a node, or a server under Scope.
On a multiple-server product, you also can select a cluster.
To see the cluster scope, you first must create a cluster on the Server clusters page (Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters). The cluster scope limits the scope of a shared library to cluster members of a particular cluster.
Select a scope before you click New and create a shared library. After you create a shared library and map an application to the selected scope, you can associate the shared library with the application or its modules.
- To associate a shared library with an application or module, use the Shared library references page for the application. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Shared library references.
- To associate a shared library with a server class loader, use the settings page for the library reference for the server class loader. Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name
> Java and Process Management > Class loader > class_loader_ID > Shared library references > shared_library_name .
