With the Application Deployment for WebSphere® plug-in, you can import information
about an IBM® WebSphere Application Server system
into a collection of resources. Importing the information in this
way saves time over manually creating resources to match the server.
Procedure
- On the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server,
go to the Resources tab.
- Next to a resource, click Actions and
then click Add Agent.
- In the Create New Resource window,
select the agent and then click Save. The new agent resource appears in the resource tree. In
a short time, another resource appears under the agent resource. This
resource is named WebSphereCell and represents the WebSphere Application Server cell.
You might need to click Refresh to make the
cell appear.
- Click the WebSphere Application Server cell
resource and then click . This
resource has the WebSphereCell role, which includes
several properties that are related to the cell.
- In the section that is labeled Role
Properties for the WebSphereCell role,
specify the connection information for the cell, including the locations
of the profile and wsadmin file and the username
and password for the WebSphere Application Server system,
as in the following figure:
- Click Save.
- On the Resources tab,
next to the cell resource, click Actions and
then click Auto Configure.
- In the Auto Configure window,
click the Steps field, select the check box
next to the WebSphere Topology Discovery step,
and then click OK.
- Click Save to close the Auto
Configure window.
Results
The server and agent retrieve information about the installation
of
WebSphere Application Server.
In a few minutes, resources that represent the server components appear
in the resources tree. Each node, cluster, and server has a matching
resource. The following figure shows resources that represent a
WebSphere Application Server system
with three nodes:
What to do next
Now you can add these resources to an environment by opening
the
Resources tab for the environment and clicking
Add
Base Resources.
