New Web application server considerations

Use this information when iSeries™ Access for Web is configured for a Web application server and a new Web application server is added to the environment. In this situation, iSeries Access for Web can be configured for the new Web application server and optionally preserve all user-generated data and configuration settings.

The configuration commands (CFGACCWEB2 CL command and the cfgaccweb2 QShell script command) provide the following input parameters that identify an existing Web application server configuration that has iSeries Access for Web configured. When you run the command, user data is copied or linked into the new Web application server configuration.

Use these parameters with the CL command. Refer to the help text for the CFGACCWEB2 command and its parameters for more details.

SRCSVRTYPE

Source web server type

SRCSVRINST

Source web server instance

SRCAPPSVR

Source application server

SHRUSRDTA

Share user data

Use these parameters with the script command. The help text for the CFGACCWEB2 CL command can give you more details about the parameters that have equivalent CL parameters.

-srcsvrtype

Source web server type. This parameter accepts values such as *WAS61BASE, *WAS60, *WAS51EXP, and *ASFTOMCAT as input when configuring a new web serving environment. Refer to the command help text or prompt values for all available values.

-srcinsdir

Source installation directory. The parameter tells the command where the existing WebSphere^® Application Server is installed. This information helps the program find configuration information for the existing configuration. The configuration information from the existing configuration is then used with the new configuration.

This parameter is only available when *WAS61BASE, *WAS61EXP, or *WAS61ND is specified for -srcsvrtype. A default value is used if one of the preceding values is specified for -srcsvrtype but -srcinsdir is not specified.

-srcsvrinst

Source Web server instance or profile

-srcappsvr

Source application server. This value is only applicable when -srcsvrtype is set to a version of WebSphere Application Server.

-shrusrdta

Share user data. When *YES is specified, the new Web serving environment and the existing Web serving environment share user-generated data. When *NO is specified, user-generated data is copied from the existing Web serving environment to the new Web serving environment.
