An application server configuration provides settings that
control how an application server provides services for running applications
and their components.
About this task
After you install the product, you might have to perform
one or more of the following tasks. Unless the task you want to perform
is dependent on the existence of an application server, you can perform
these tasks in any order.
Procedure
- Create an application server.
During the installation process WebSphere
Application Server creates a default application server, named server1.
You must issue either the createApplicationServer or createGenericServer
wsadmin command from a command line to create an additional application
server or generic server.
You
must use wsadmin commands to manage any additional servers you create.
You cannot use the administrative console to manage these additional
servers. The only server that you can use the administrative console
to manage is the default server.
- Configure transport chains to handle client requests.
- Develop custom services.
- Define processes for the application server.
- Configure the Java virtual machine.
Results
Any new application servers you create appear in the list
of servers on the administrative console Application servers page.
What to do next
- Manage your application servers. Any newly created
application servers are configured with many default settings that
do not display when you run the Create New Application Server wizard.
You might need to change some of these settings to better fit the
needs of your environment.
- Deploy an application or component on your application server.
