Use the WebSphere® Application
Server administrative
console to deploy the IMS™ TM
resource adapter RAR
file.
Before you begin
Important: - If you are installing the IMS TM
resource adapter archive
(RAR) on a generic application server, additional class libraries
might be needed for use with the IMS TM
resource adapter. For
class libraries that are not included in the IMS TM
resource adapter installation
archive, contact your product representative for the development environment
of your choice for information regarding the licensing and location
of any needed JAR files.
- When you use the Install RAR dialog
to install a RAR file, the scope you define on the Resource Adapters
page has no effect on where the RAR file is installed. You can install
RAR files only at the node level, which you specify on the Install
RAR page. To set the scope of an RAR file to a specific cluster, or
server, after you install the RAR file at each node level, create
a copy of the RAR file with the appropriate cluster or server scope.
Prerequisites:
- You must have installed the IMS TM
resource adapter RAR
to a file system that is accessible to your WebSphere Application
Server.
- Start the WebSphere Application
Server and
log in to the administrative console.
About this task
To deploy the RAR on a
WebSphere Application
Server:
Procedure
- In the navigation pane in the administrative
console (also known as the Integrated Solutions Console), click .
Figure 1. Resource adapter configuration in WebSphere Application
Server
- If a RAR that you no longer want to use is already installed,
delete it first. Stop and restart the WebSphere Application
Server. Repeat the
previous step to return to the resource adapter configuration page.
- In the content pane, click Install RAR. You might need to scroll down in the pane to locate the button. The Install RAR File page displays.
- Click Local file system or Remote
file system, depending on the location of the RAR file.
- If you choose Local file system, click Browser to
locate and specify the IMS TM
resource adapter RAR
file that is installed, for example, install_path/IBM/IMS/ICOxx/Vxxxx/JCA15/imsxxxx.rar.
- Click Next.
- On the Configuration page, type
a name for the RAR, for example, imstmravxxxx.
Click OK.
- Optionally, create a copy of the RAR file
with a different scope level. After you install the RAR file at each
node level, you can create another copy of the file that has a specific
server or cluster as the scope for that file. See the Installing a resource adapter archive topic
in WebSphere Application Server information center.
- To save your results in the master configuration, click Save at
the top of the panel.
