Draft Document for Review July 28, 2004 7:33 pm

WebSphere Application Server now uses a web based interface which can be accessed at http://<hostname>:9090/admin by default. You must have application server named “server1” running to access this interface.

You will also notice that WebSphere Application Server no longer requires a database or a web server to be installed.

2.2.3 Database Server

DB2 Universal Database V8.1.5 is included with WebSphere Commerce V5.6. In addition, Oracle9i (9.2.0.1) Enterprise Server and Standard Edition are supported (not included). The Database Server is used for the WebSphere Commerce instance database and the WebSphere Commerce Payments database.

The WebSphere Commerce instance database is used for store configuration data such as taxes, shipping, customer profile information, and the product catalog.

The WebSphere Commerce Payments database is used for payment configuration, such as accounts, payment types, cassettes and payment transaction data.

The database server software can be installed on the same node as WebSphere Commerce or on a remote Database Server node.

2.2.4 WebSphere Commerce Server

The WebSphere Commerce Server is a WebSphere enterprise application, which runs on its own application server within the WebSphere Application Server. The WebSphere Commerce application software is installed via the WebSphere Commerce Installer.

After installation, WebSphere Commerce must be configured using the Configuration Manager. The Configuration Manager is used to create the WebSphere Commerce instance. During instance creation, an application server for the WebSphere Commerce Server and the enterprise application is deployed.

For most runtime topologies, the configuration of the WebSphere Application Server is performed for the user via the WebSphere Commerce Configuration Manager. When adding a remote Web server, remote WebSphere Commerce Payments node, and clustering using the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Edition, some manual configuration is needed.
