Configuring debug on a remote WebSphere Application Server
The following steps explain how to configure WebSphere Application Server V6.1 to start in debug mode:
| If it is not already running, start the application server.
|
<was_home>\bin\startServer.bat server1
|
| Start the WebSphere Administrative Console by entering the following in a Web browser and then logging in:
|
https://<hostname>:9043/ibm/console | lt;=== port 9048 in our case
|
| In the left-hand frame expand Servers Æ Server Types Æ WebSphere Application Servers.
|
|
| In the Application Servers page, click server1.
|
|
| On the Configuration tab, select Debugging Service in the Additional Properties section at the bottom right, to open the Debugging Service configuration page.
|
|
| In the General Properties section of the Configuration tab, select Enable service at startup. This enables the debugging service when the server starts.
|
|
Note: The value of the JVM debug port is required when connecting to the application server with the debugger. The default value is 7777; in our case the server uses port 7782.
|
|
| Click OK to make the changes to your local configuration.
|
|
| Save the configuration changes.
|
|
| Click Logout.
|
|
| You must restart the application server before the changes that have been made take effect.
|
|
| Again, verify the application is working properly by navigating to the following URL:
