Starting a data grid for REST data services in WebSphere Application Server

Follow these steps to start a stand-alone WebSphere® eXtreme Scale REST service sample data grid for a WebSphere eXtreme Scale deployment that is integrated with WebSphere Application Server. Although WebSphere eXtreme Scale is integrated with WebSphere Application Server, these steps start a stand-alone WebSphere eXtreme Scale catalog service process and container.

1. Start the catalog service process. Open a command-line or terminal window and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable:
   • export JAVA_HOME=java_home
   • set JAVA_HOME=java_home
   cd restservice_home/gettingstarted
2. Start the catalog service process.

   To start the server without eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.

   • ./runcat.sh
   • runcat.bat
   To start the server witheXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.
   • ./runcat_secure.sh
   • runcat_secure.bat
3. Start two container server processes. Open another command-line or terminal window and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable:
   • export JAVA_HOME=java_home
   • set JAVA_HOME=java_home
4. Start a container server process.

   To start the server without eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.

   1. Open a command-line window.
   2. cd restservice_home/gettingstarted
   3. To start the server without eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.
      • ./runcontainer.sh container0
      • runcontainer.bat container0
   4. To start the server with eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.
      • ./runcontainer_secure.sh container0
      • runcontainer_secure.bat container0
5. Start a second container server process.
   1. Open a command-line window.
   2. cd restservice_home/gettingstarted
   3. To start the server without eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.
      • ./runcontainer.sh container1
      • runcontainer.bat container1
   4. To start the server with eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.
      • ./runcontainer_secure.sh container1
      • runcontainer_secure.bat container1
