RTCz: Migrating from Apache Tomcat to WebSphere Application Server

Before changing the Jazz™ Team Server for System z from Apache Tomcat to WebSphere® Application Server backup the database and several files.

  1. Stop the Jazz Team Server for System z.
  2. Backup the database
    • Derby: Make an archive copy of the entire database directory.
    • DB2®: Refer to the database documentation for details. An example command is
      db2 backup database {db-name} user <userName>  using <password> to <target-dir> COMPRESS
    • Oracle: Refer to the database documentation for details.
  3. Locate the following files and create a backup copy:
    • The fileJazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz/teamserver.properties.
    • The files JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz/log4j.properties.
    • The file JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/webapps/jazz.war.
    • The default repository database in the directoryJazzInstallDirserver/repositoryDB.
    • The repository tools in the directory JazzInstallDir/repotools.
    Note: The files are required when setting up the WebSphere Application Server.
  4. After backing up the database and saving the files, continue with setting up the WebSphere Application Server. See RTCz: Setting up a WebSphere Application Server.
    For z/OS:
    1. Stop the Jazz Team Server for z/OS Tomcat job.
    2. Backup the DB2 database.
    3. Locate the following files and create a backup copy:
      • @confpath@/jazz/teamserver.properties
      • @confPath@/jazz/log4j.properties
    4. Proceed with configuring WebSphere Application Server. See Configuring the WebSphere Application Server.
