Hi All,

We have installed the volumes ( SBWAS1, SBWAS2, and SBWAS3 ) on RDz UT. so how can we get Websphere Application Server (WAS) and DB2 up and in working condition? Like if i want to see the Console so how can i see that?

DB2 should be configured out of the box. You will need to use a sysparm that starts DB2 at ipl. All of the WebSphere libraries are available if you use sysparm=BC/BW or construct one that looks like BC/BW. You will need to configure your WebSphere Server node yourself. There is a techdoc available that may help you through this process. WP101030 is for WebSphere 6.1, but the concepts are valid for WebSphere 7.0

Hi Jon,
Can you tell me where DB2 should be configure? Like from where we can see DB2 Console?

I assume you are asking about how to connect DB2 Connect to UT? When you start UT with one of the sysparms that starts DB2, the DB2 DDF server is started as well. When DDF starts, it issues a number of WTOs that specify the ip address, DB2 subsystem name, DB2 location name, and connect port. If you can't find these WTOs in the log, do a -DB9G DISPLAY DDF command from the MVS Console or SDSF and you will see these values. For a UT system as supplied by IBM, the valid parameters are:

ip address - your TCP/IP address as specified in TCPIP.PROFILE
DB2 subsystem name - DB9G
DB2 location name - DALLAS9
Connect port - 5035

Using these values, you can create a remote connection to your DB2 on the UT box.

Hi John,

Thanks for DB2 Configuration now i am able to connect to DB2! But can u help me in WAS? Like i have seen in tech doc WP101030, where i can see the Node to configure and JCL's to run???

Thanks,
Shajeel

You must create them. Check out Techdoc WP100999. Again, this is for version 6.1, but the concepts are still valid.

Hi John,

From where we have to create them?

Thanks,
Shajeel

See the Techdoc mentioned earlier or check out the Infocenter here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp

Hi John,

We want to run WAS in UT Box. So i want to ask that from where we can view the data set of WAS Configuration files? like where WAS files are located because we want to configure them and want to see them in up and running.

You must use the WAS configuration jobs to create a set of configuration datasets. The WAS infocenter describes this process in great detail. Its not a simple process, but once you've done it once, it gets much easier. Make sure to follow all of the generated instructions for modifying your system configuration. WAS touches many pieces of the operating environment and depends greatly upon correct configuration.
