To use the service interface to run and manage test- or
production-level services, you must first start the service interface
on its application server. After the service interface is started
on the application server, any application can access the service
interface at any time.
Before you can start the service interface, you must first
install the service interface on a computer. The service interface
is installed as a part of the IBM® InfoSphere® Optim™ Web Applications package, which also
contains the manager and the connection manager. You must then configure
and deploy the connection manager to an application server before
you can deploy and start the service interface.
To start the service interface on an application server:
- Start the application server. If the application
server has deployed the service interface web application,
then the service interface is started immediately after the application
server has started. If you have not deployed the service interface to the version
of IBM® WebSphere® Liberty that is delivered with the Optim Web Application package, then
complete the step (2). In this step, optim_installation_directory is
the installation directory where Optim was installed.
- Microsoft Windows computers: Click , or run the script optim_installation_directory/web/setup/liberty. Use fg or run option to run the server as foreground process. Use bg or start option to run server as background process.
- Linux or UNIX computers: Run the script optim_installation_directory/web/setup/liberty. Use fg or run option to run the server as foreground process. Use bg or start option to run server as background process.
- Deploy the service interface. If you have not deployed the service interface to
the version of IBM WebSphere Liberty
that is delivered with the Optim Web Application package, then
complete the following steps:
On Microsoft™ Windows™, Linux™ or UNIX™
- Locate the WAR file which is located under optim_installation_directory/shared/osi/app/optim.service.interface.war. For example, the default location for the WAR file on Microsoft™ Windows™ is C:\IBM\InfoSphere\Optim\shared\osi\app\optim.service.interface.war.
- Deploy the war by copying the war file to destination location optim_installation_directory/shared/Liberty/usr/servers/OptimWebServer/apps/optim.service.interface.war For example: C:\IBMInfoSphere\Optim\shared\Liberty\usr\servers\OptimWebServer\apps
- Update the server.xml file located under optim_installation_directory/shared/Liberty/usr/servers/OptimWebServer to include the below line
<application name="OSI" location="optim.service.interface.war" id="OSI" context-root="server"/>
- Restart IBM® WebSphere® Liberty
To automate the starting of the service interface after you
restart the computer, configure the application server as a Windows service or Linux or UNIX daemon.
