enbprfwas command

The enbprfwas command enables a profile to allow an application server to run under it and optionally changes the group profile to QEJBSVR.

It is an alternative to using iSeries Navigator to do the same thing. To run this script, your user profile must have *ALLOBJ authority.

Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

enbprfwas -profile <user profile> [-chggrpprf]

Parameters

The following options are available for the enbprfwas command:

-profile

This is a required parameter. The value <user profile> specifies the name of the profile to enable to run application servers.

-chggrpprf

Optional. If specified, the command changes the group profile of <user profile> to QEJBSVR.

If the application server uses IBM Technology for Java JVM, we will need to execute few more commands to take advantage of the -Xshareclasses JVM option, which will reduce virtual memory footprint and improve the application server's startup time. To determine if the Application server uses IBM Technology for Java:

1. Examine the profile_root/properties/.instance.properties file.

2. If the value for the instance.use.j9 property is set to true, then the application server uses the IBM Technology for Java JVM.

Select either one of the following methods to optimize the application server to use the -Xshareclasses JVM option:

• Use the administrative console:

  1. In the administrative console, click...

             Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server.

  2. Under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management > Process Definition.

  3. Select Java Virtual Machine.

  4. In the Generic JVM arguments field, add a space at the end of the string, and add the following string:

     -Xshareclasses:name=webspherev80_profile,groupAccess,nonFatal
     

     where profile is the run-as user profile that is described for profile parameter, click OK.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Click Save on the console task bar.

  7. Restart the application server.

• Use the wsadmin command:

  1. Start the Qshell environment.

  2. On the IBM i CL command line, run the STRQSH command and then execute the following commands:

     cd app_server_root/bin 
     wsadmin -conntype NONE -profileName was_profile
        # where was_profile is the profile of the application server. 
     set jvm [$AdminConfig getid /Server:server/JavaProcessDef:/JavaVirtualMachine:/] 
        # where server, is the application server name.
     set curargs [$AdminConfig showAttribute $jvm genericJvmArguments] 
     set newargs [concat $curargs "-Xshareclasses:name=webspherev80_profile,groupAccess,nonFatal"]
        # where profile is the run-as user profile. 
     set attrs [subst {{genericJvmArguments $newargs}}] 
     $AdminConfig modify $jvm $attrs 
     $AdminConfig save
     exit
     

  3. Restart the application server.
