Default WebSphere Application Server profile

The name of the default WebSphere Application Server profile is default. The default profile is contained under the following directory structure:

• For WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Express: /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/Base/profiles/default
• For WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment: /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/ND/profiles/default

This profile provides the necessary configuration files for starting and managing the application server that it contains. It also provides the services and resources that are required to deploy and run enterprise applications.

The information below describes the cell, node, servers, applications and ports for the default profile.

Note: If the default profile has been added (federated) into a Network Deployment cell, see Federated default application server profile for a description of the cell, node, servers, applications and ports used for the profile.

General properties

• Profile name: default.
• Cell name: The host name of the iSeries server. For example, MYISERIES. The cell name is case-sensitive.
• Node name: The host name of the iSeries server. For example, MYISERIES. The node name is case-sensitive.
• Application server name: server1. The application server name is case-sensitive.

Pre-deployed applications

The server1 application server includes these applications:

• The administrative console application
  The administrative console application allows you to configure and manage the application server, enterprise applications and other WebSphere Application Server resources.

• The DefaultApplication example application
  The DefaultApplication contains the snoop, hello, and hitcount examples, which allow you to quickly verify your application server configuration.

• The install verification application (ivtApp)
  This application allows you to use the ivt Qshell script to verify the application server configuration.

• Samples gallery
  This application allows you to access web pages that describe the samples that are provided with the products, and how to build, install, and run them.

  Note: When WebSphere Application Server Express is installed, the default profile does not contain the Samples Gallery. For more information see Samples and applications.

• PlantsByWebSphere sample
  A sample application depicting an online plants store.

  Note: When WebSphere Application Server Express is installed, the default profile does not contain this sample. For more information see Samples and applications.

Default ports

The default profile is configured to use the ports listed in Port number settings in WebSphere Application Server versions. To change any of these ports, run the chgwassvr script from Qshell:

/QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/Base/bin/chgwassvr  -server server1 [options]

where [options] sepecifies the parameters for the port you wish to changed. For example, to change the administrative console port to 9091, run this command:

/QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/Base/bin/chgwassvr -server server1 -admin 9091

For more information about the script, see The chgwassvr script.

Potential port conflicts with other versions or editions of WebSphere Application Server 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 dspwasinst script.
