Configuring your WebSphere Application Server, Version 6.0

 

These tasks help you set up iSeries Navigator for Wireless to run using WebSphere® Application Server v6.0.

Before you begin, have QSECOFR authority and must have the following products installed:

Notes:

  1. The following steps create an instance of an HTTP server. Therefore, you cannot use these instructions to set up iSeries Navigator for Wireless on an existing HTTP server.

  2. The following steps assume that you are already running WebSphere Application Server. For setup information and to determine prerequisites, go to the WebSphere Application Server home page and select the appropriate version.

To set up your WebSphere Application Server, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that the QWAS6 subsystem is running. If it is not, run the following command:
    STRSBS QWAS6/QWAS6

  2. Run the following command to set up iSeries Navigator for Wireless to run using WebSphere Application Server v6.0 as the servlet engine. It creates an instance of WebSphere Application Server named <WASInstanceName> and an IBM HTTP Server named <HTTPInstanceName> that listens for requests on port <port number>.
    CALL QSYSDIR/QYPVSETUP '-wasversion 5733W60 [-nodename <node name>] [-wasinstance <WASInstanceName>] [-httpinstance <HTTPInstanceName>] [-port <port number>]'

    The parameters in this command are defined as follows:

    -wasversion 5733W60

    This parameter specifies that WebSphere Application Server v6.0, is used to run iSeries Navigator for Wireless.

    -nodename <system name>

    This parameter specifies the short name of the system that iSeries Navigator for Wireless is being set up for. For example, if the system name is yoursystem.yourcompany.com, the <system name> is yoursystem.

    -wasinstance <WASInstanceName>

    This parameter specifies the name of the WebSphere instance that is created to run iSeries Navigator for Wireless. The instance that is specified cannot exist yet; otherwise, you will receive an error when the command is run. If you do not specify an instance name, the name of the instance is MCP.

    -httpinstance <HTTPInstanceName>

    This parameter specifies the name of the HTTP instance used to run the WebSphere servlet engine. The name cannot include spaces and must be less than 10 characters long. If you do not specify an instance name, the default is MCP.

    -port <port number>

    This parameter specifies the first number of a block of six ports. The HTTP Server listens for requests on <port number>, and the application server listens on <port number> + 1 through <port number> + 5. If you do not specify a port number, the default is 8110 for the HTTP Server and 8111 - 8115 for the application server.

  3. Run the following command from the QSHELL command line to start your WebSphere Application Server.
    /QIBM/ProdData/Websphere/AppServer/V6/Base/bin/startServer iSeriesNavigatorForWireless -profileName instance_name <WASInstanceName>

    The port number for the administration console of this instance of the WebSphere Application Server is displayed after the application server has started.

  4. Run the following command to start your HTTP server.
    STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(<HTTPInstanceName>)

Now that you have finished setting up your Web application server, you can continue to configure your wireless environment.
