To install Application Center in a set of WebSphere® Application Server Network
Deployment servers, run IBM® Installation
Manager on the machine where the deployment manager is running.
Procedure
- When IBM Installation
Manager prompts you to specify the database type, select any option
other than Apache Derby. IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation supports
Apache Derby only in embedded mode, and this choice is incompatible
with deployment through WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment.
- In the installer panel in which you specify the WebSphere Application Server installation
directory, select the deployment manager profile.
Attention: Do not select an application server profile and then
a single managed server: doing so causes the deployment manager to
overwrite the configuration of the server regardless of whether you
install on the machine on which the deployment manager is running
or on a different machine.
- Select the required scope depending on where you want Application
Center to be installed. The following table lists the available scopes:
Table 1. Selecting the required scopeScope |
Explanation |
Cell |
Installs Application Center in all application
servers of the cell. |
Cluster |
Installs Application Center in all application
servers of the specified cluster. |
Node (excluding clusters) |
Installs Application Center in all application
servers of the specified node that are not in a cluster. |
Server |
Installs Application Center in the specified
server, which is not in a cluster. |
- Restart the target servers by following the procedure in Completing the installation.
Results
The installation has no effect outside the set of servers
in the specified scope. The JDBC providers and JDBC data sources are
defined with the specified scope. The entities that have a cell-wide
scope (the applications and, for DB2®,
the authentication alias) have a suffix in their name that makes them
unique. So, you can install Application Center in different configurations
or even different versions of Application Center, in different clusters
of the same cell.
Note: Because the JDBC driver is installed only in
the specified set of application servers, the Test connection button
for the JDBC data sources in the WebSphere Application Server administration
console of the deployment manager might not work.
