DB2 graphic  QMF Version 8

Deploying under WAS Advanced Edition or Enterprise Edition version 4 (non-z/OS)

The following steps are used to deploy QMF for WebSphere under WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition or Enterprise Edition, version 4 (on non-z/OS platforms).

Start the WebSphere Advanced Administrative Console

Start the WebSphere Advanced Administrative Console by running the adminclient command from the WebSphere bin directory.

Install the application

In the navigation tree on the left side of the Administrative Console window:

  1. Expand WebSphere Administrative Domain.
  2. Right click on Enterprise Applications, and select Install Enterprise Application from the pop-up menu. The Install Enterprise Application Wizard displays.
  3. On the first page of the wizard, Specifying the Application or Module, you must specify the location of the module to install. In the list of nodes, click the machine on which you installed the QMF for WebSphere files. Click Install Application, and then enter the name of the directory in which you installed the files, followed by QMFWebSphere.ear. Click Next.
  4. On the Mapping Users to Roles page, click Next. (Mapping the qmfadmin role to users or groups will be performed after installing the application.)
  5. Simply click Next on all of the following pages until the Selecting Application Servers page displays. Note the name of the application server and node (in parentheses) listed for the QMF for WebSphere module and then click Next.
  6. On the Completing the Application Installation Wizard page, click Finish.

Map the qmfadmin role to users and groups

A single security role named qmfadmin is defined for the QMF for WebSphere application. This role is used to authenticate a user before performing various administrative tasks in QMF for WebSphere, such as binding packages. You use the WebSphere Advanced Administrative Console to map the qmfadmin role to users and groups.

In the navigation tree on the left side of the Administrative Console window:

  1. Expand WebSphere Administrative Domain.
  2. Expand Enterprise Applications.
  3. Click on QMFWebSphere.ear. The properties of the application display on the right side of the Administrative Console window.
  4. Click on User/Role Mappings.
  5. Click on qmfadmin.
  6. Click Select. The Select Users/Groups - qmfadmin window displays. Use this window to specify whether the role should be mapped to everyone (effectively eliminating authentication for the role), to all authenticated users (allowing any authenticated user to perform QMF administration functions), or only to users or groups that you specify.
  7. When you have finished creating the mappings, click OK.
  8. Click Apply.

Save the configuration.

Configure access to JDBC drivers

The last element of configuration that you must perform using the WebSphere Advanced Administrative Console is to provide access to any JDBC drivers that will be used by QMF for WebSphere.

In the navigation tree on the left side of the Administrative Console window:

  1. Expand WebSphere Administrative Domain.
  2. Expand Nodes.
  3. Expand the node on which you installed the QMF for WebSphere application.
  4. Expand Application Servers.
  5. Click on the application server on which you installed the QMF for WebSphere application. The properties of the application server display on the right side of the Administrative Console window.
  6. Click on JVM Settings.
  7. In the Classpaths list, add all of the *.zip or *.jar files that are required by the JDBC drivers that will be used by QMF for WebSphere. For example, for the DB2 Universal Database V8 Type 4 driver on Microsoft Windows, you might enter:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLib\Java\db2jcc.jar
    C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLib\Java\db2java.zip
    C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLib\Java\sqlj.zip
    C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLib\runtime.zip
  8. When you have finished adding the required files, click OK.

Save the configuration. After the configuration is saved, you must restart the server for the changes to take effect.

Start the application

The installation and configuration of the application is complete, so you can now make it available.

In the navigation tree on the left side of the Administrative Console window:

  1. Expand WebSphere Administrative Domain.
  2. Expand Enterprise Applications.
  3. Right click on QMFWebSphere.ear, and select Start from the pop-up menu.

The application is now available.
