This article describes how to verify that the deployment manager
is running before you start the administrative console.
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
- Run the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command
from the Control Language (CL) command line, specifying the proper subsystem
on the subsystem (SBS) parameter:
- Find the server job for your deployment manager profile. For the
default deployment manager profile, the server job is named DMGR.
- Specify option 5 (Work with Job) on the
option line next to the job, then press Enter.
- On the command line of the Work with Job display, specify option 10
(Display job log, if active), then press Enter.
- 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.
- 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.
- Press F3 twice to exit.
