SQLServer Database Configuration

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5


Step 1: Ensure the existence of the WSsamples_app web application

  1. Open IBM WebSphere Application Server Administrator Console.
  2. Click View Topology.
  3. Expand the tree through your system hostname, the Default Server, and the servletEngine.
  4. Ensure that the WSsamples_app web application exists within the servletEngine. It should look like this:
    Web Application Dir Structure
  5. If WSsamples_app does not exist, then create a WSsamples_app Web application.


Take Note!
  • To run the Samples, it may be necessary to specify a fully qualified path name in the Application Server's Host Aliases list.
    1. Open IBM WebSphere Application Server Administrator Console.
    2. Click View Topology.
    3. Expand the tree once and choose "default_host" towards the bottom of the tree. You will see the "Virtual Host: default_host" window open in the right pane of the window.
    4. Select the "Advanced" tab from the right pane.
    5. Locate the "Host Aliases" list. You should see your machine's "short name" on the list (for instance, "myhost").
    6. If your fully qualified host name -- myhost.mycompany.com for instance -- is not there, then scroll the aliases list down to a blank text field, type in your fully qualified host name, and choose "Apply".
    7. If you added a fully qualified host name, then you need to stop and start the the Application Server's Default Server.
