Install the WebSphere Application Server Web server plug-in
Overview
The Web server plug-in enables communication between the Web server and WAS.
The Web server plug-in has important restrictions on using parentheses characters in the path name.
When installing WebSphere Commerce on the same machine as the Web server, the WAS plug-in is installed and configured automatically, otherwise you have to...
- Install WAS plug-in manually
- Configure the Web server and an application server on separate machines
To install Web server plug-in fixes, use the WAS Update Installer version 7.0.0.3 or higher.
