WebSphere Application Server

You can deploy the Rational® Publishing Engine web services on the WebSphere® Application Server to remotely generate the documents.

Before you begin

You must install Rational Publishing Engine on the server before deploying the web services.

Procedure

  1. In WebSphere Application Server, enter the URL to open a web browser with a list of web applications hosted on the server. The server and port might vary, depending on the server configuration.
  2. In the Deploy > WAR file to deploy section, click Browse.
  3. Select the web archive file %RPE_HOME%\web services\engine\rpe.war file.
  4. Click Deploy.
  5. Confirm that the application has been deployed:
    1. Verify that the Rational Publishing Engine entry appears in the Applications list.
    2. Verify that the path http://servername:port/rpe/ points to an introductory page of the Rational Publishing Engine web services.
  6. In the introductory page of the web services, copy the either of the links to the web services definition schema: http://servername:port/rpe/services/RPEService?wsdl or http://servername:port/rpe/wsgate These links are required to complete the Configuring the client applications task.
    Note: The link http://servername:port/rpe/wsgate also works if a load balancer is deployed. See, What’s new in Rational Publishing Engine 1.1.2.1
