Default application server profiles

The default WebSphere Application Server profile provides the necessary configuration files for starting and managing the application server that it contains. Become familiar with the cell, node, servers, applications and ports for the default profile.

The name of the default WAS profile is default. The default profile is contained under the following directory structure:

user_data_root/profiles/default

This article describes the cell, node, servers, applications and ports for the default profile.

Default ports

The default profile is configured to use the ports listed in the Port number settings article in the information center. To change any of these ports, run the chgwassvr script from Qshell:

app_server_root/bin/chgwassvr -server server1 options

where options specifies the parameters for the port to change. For example, to change the administrative console port to 9091,:

app_server_root/bin/chgwassvr -server server1 -admin 9091

For more information about the script, see the article on the chgwassvr command in the information center. Potential port conflicts with other versions or editions of WAS are noted where appropriate.

To display information such as node name, ports used, servers, and installed applications for the default profile, run the dspwasinst script from Qshell. For more information, see the article on the dspwasinst command in the information center.
