An application server profile is required if you plan to
use Jython scripts to set up the adapter on WebSphere Application
Server. With a separate server profile for the adapter web application,
you can easily keep the adapter web application separate from other
web applications. You also avoid overwriting any settings in existing
server profiles for other web applications. You can also delete the
profile from your computer if you uninstall the adapter.
About this task
To use the Jython scripts available to automate the set
up of the adapter on the WebSphere® Application
Server, you need to create an application server profile. The application
server profile is also helpful to keep the Rational® Adapter for HP ALM web application
separate from other applications in the case that you want to uninstall
the Rational Adapter for
HP ALM software. You use the Profile Management Tool to do this. This
new profile must have the following settings:
- On the Environment selection panel, select Application
server.
- On the Profile creation options panel, select Advanced
profile creation.
- On the Optional application deployment panel, accept the defaults.
- On the Profile name and location panel, specify a name for the
profile and the directory path for the profile directory.
- On the Node and host names panel, specify a name for the application
server.
- On the Administrative security panel, enter a user name and password
that you will use to log onto the administrative console.
- On the Security certificate panel (part 1), customize as required
or accept the defaults.
- On the Security certificate panel (part 2), customize as required
or accept the defaults.
- On the Port value assignment panel, accept the defaults. Make
note of the HTTP and Administrative console secure port values.
On the Windows service definition panel, uncheck Run
the server process as a Windows Service.
On the UNIX service definition panel, leave Run
the server process as a UNIX Service unchecked.
- On the Web server definition panel, accept the defaults.
Create your profile using the Profile Creation Summary panel.
Launch the first steps console to run the installation verification
test, which verifies the application server profile that you created.
