IM IBM InfoSphere Global Name Management, Version 5.0

Creating, updating, or deleting server profiles

During the installation process, you can add up to one ENS server profile from the installation program. However, typical ENS cells use more than one ENS server profile in large scale environments. Use the ENS configuration utility add, delete, or modify ENS server profiles.

Before you begin

You must shut down the ENS cell and the WebSphere Application Server before applying patches or hot fixes. Then start the ENS configuration utility. Note that you cannot change the name of an ENS server profile with this configuration utility.

Procedure

  1. From the ENS configuration utility Main Menu, enter 4.
  2. From the Enterprise Name Server Profiles List screen, enter the number of the profile you would like to edit or the number for Create a new profile.
    • To update a server profile
      1. Enter the number next to the ENS server profile to update.
      2. From the Profile Configuration screen, update the parameters you want to change. For example:
        Use this screen to modify an existing enterprise name server profile.
        
        Server Profile Name: testsrv1
        1- Web server port number (http): 44110
        2- Secure web server port number (https): 44111
        3- Administration port number (http): 44112
        4- Secure administration port number (https): 44113
        5- SOAP port number (http): 44114
        6- Application port number (http): 44115
      3. Save changes by entering 8 Apply changes, or cancel all changes by entering 7 Revert to original values.
    • To create a new server profile
      1. Enter the number that corresponds with Create a new profile (typically listed last).
      2. From the Profile Configuration screen, provide values for:
        Server Profile Name: 
        Web server port number (http): 
        Secure web server port number (https): 
        Administration port number (http): 
        Secure administration port number (https):
        SOAP port number (http):
        Application port number (http):
      3. Save the new profile by entering "Y" at the prompt:
        Do you want to create a new profile with those values?
        "Y" to create profile / "N" to edit above values / "back" to return to
        Profiles Screen: __
    • To delete a server profile
      1. Enter 9 to delete the server profile.
      2. Save changes and complete the deletion by entering 8 Apply changes or cancel the deletion by entering 7 Revert to original values.
      3. When you complete all the updates, enter exit to return to the Enterprise Name Server Profiles List screen.
      Note: Consider all of the consequences of deleting a profile. For example, what happens when a server/searcher based on a deleted profile is the *only* server/searcher that contains an existing name list partition? First, the related searches will no longer work.
  3. Enter back to return to the Main Menu or enter exit to exit the configuration utility.

What to do next

Restart the WebSphere Application Server.

Restart the ENS cell. If you created a server profile, you must register that server profile and then configure the components to run on that server profile in the ENS Search console. If you updated a server profile, restart that server.
