Verifying that the deployment manager is running

This article describes how to verify that the deployment manager is running before you start the administrative console.

Before you begin

You must install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment before you can start, configure and run the default deployment manager profile.

See Starting and configuring the default deployment manager profile for more information.

About this task

Before you start the administrative console or add a node to the Network Deployment domain, verify that the Network Deployment environment is running.

When the Network Deployment environment is ready for use, a message is written to the job log of the application server job for the Deployment Manager indicating that the Network Deployment environment is ready. Use this procedure to determine if the Network Deployment environment is running.

Procedure

  1. Run the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command from the Control Language (CL) command line, specifying the proper subsystem on the subsystem (SBS) parameter:
    WRKACTJOB SBS(QWAS61)
  2. Find the server job for your deployment manager profile. For the default deployment manager profile, the server job is named DMGR.
  3. Specify option 5 (Work with Job) on the option line next to the job, then press Enter.
  4. On the command line of the Work with Job display, specify option 10 (Display job log, if active), then press Enter.
  5. Press F10 to display all messages.

    Look for this message:

    WebSphere application server application_server ready.

    The application_server variable is the name of your application server. For the default deployment manager profile, the application server for the deployment manager is named dmgr.

    If the message is not displayed, press F5 to refresh the job log messages until the message displays.

    When the message is displayed, the Network Deployment environment is successfully running. The message can take up to 20 minutes to display, depending on your iSeries server. If the message is not displayed, see the iSeries installation troubleshooting tips topic.

  6. To display the port number on which the deployment manager is listening for the administrative console, position the cursor on the last line of the message and press F1.
    This message is displayed:
    WebSphere application server application_server
      in job app_server_job is ready to handle 
      administrative requests on port port_number.

    The application_server variable is the name of the deployment manager application server. The app_server_job variable is the i5/OS job name for the deployment manager application server. The port_number variable is the number of the port used by the administrative console.

  7. Press F3 twice to exit.

What to do next

Go to Adding a node to the deployment manager profile to continue the installation.
