Creating a WebSphere v6.0 server

You can create a server to identify the WebSphere v6.0 run-time environment for testing or publishing your project resources.

1. When creating a server, in the select the server type list, select WebSphere v6.0 server.

2. (Optional) Click Next to configure additional settings.

3. (Optional) In the Server admin port number (SOAP connector port) field, specify the port number for the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) connector. This port is used for making JMX connections with the server.

4. Selecting the Run server with resources within the workspace check box, enables you to run your application from within the workbench without publishing to the server. This option is available only when running a local server and not available when running a remote server. If this check box is clear, the workbench runs the server with resource on the server. This publishes your application on the targeted server. By default, the Run server with resources within the workspace check box is enabled.

5. If the server you previously defined in the Server admin port number (SOAP connector port) and the Host name is started, click on the Detect button. Otherwise, you will need to manually provide the information under the Server Type section.
   1. Use the radio buttons to select whether the WebSphere Application server edition is either Base or Express server or Network deployment server If you used the detect button the server tools identifies the WebSphere Application Server edition by selecting the appropriate radio button under the Server Type section.

   2. For Base or Express server, in the Server name field, type the name of the server instance. The server name is the same as the server-level name in the server configuration. The server instance with the given instance name must already be created on the server. If you used the detect button the server tools, pre-fills the Server Name field

   3. For Network deployment, in the Network deployment server name field, type the name of the server instance. The server name is the same as the Network Deployment server name. The server instance with the given instance name must already be created on the server. The server name is in the form of <cell name>/<node name>/<server name>. If you used the detect button the server tools can not pre-fill this field, you will need to provide this information.

6. (Optional) On the Add and Remove Projects page, under the Available projects list, select the project that you want to test and click Add. The project appears in the configured projects list. Click Next.

7. Click Finish. The server tools automatically completes the following tasks for you:
   • (Optional) Creates a server project with Servers as the default name, when the Create server resources in workspace check box is enabled (Windows >Preferences > Server).

   • Creates the server.

   • Adds your project to the server.

   • Starts the server. (This may take time depending on the server settings.)
