Administering application servers
An application server configuration provides settings that control how an application server provides services for running applications and their components.
About this task
After you install the product, you might have to perform one or more of the following tasks. Unless the task you want to perform is dependent on the existence of an application server, you can perform these tasks in any order.
Best practice: IBM® recommends
starting processes that run on the same profile with user IDs that have mutually compatible file
permissions, meaning that each process can read or update files that the other processes create.
This ensures that the processes can access the same files without encountering a permission-denied
error. For example, if you run the deployment manager as user wasuser and then
also run the command line tool to generate plug-ins on that same profile, you should run the tool as
user wasuser.
Establish the proper permissions to the directory to which you plan to use the command.
Procedure
Results
Any new application servers you create are displayed in the list of servers on the administrative console Application servers page.
What to do next
- Manage your application servers. Any newly created application servers are configured with many default settings that do not display when you run the Create New Application Server wizard. You might need to change some of these settings to better fit the needs of your environment.
- Deploy an application or component on the application server.
- View the status of the applications running on the application server.
