12.1.2 Installing the EAR file on WebSphere AEs

This topic discusses how to install the EAR file on WebSphere.

After exporting the EAR file, FTP or copy the EAR file to the

../WebSphere/AppServer/installableApps directory in the WebSphere AEs product directory structure.

The EAR file can be installed by either using the WebSphere Admin Console or manually with the command line option SEAppInstall. An example of manual installation for the registration would be:

SEAppInstall -install ../installableApps/Registration.ear

12.1.3 Starting the WebSphere AEs Admin Console

Start the application admin server by selecting Start—>Programs—>IBM WebSphere Application Server V4.0 AES—>Start Admin Server, on a Windows machine, or use the startServer.sh script on a UNIX machine.

The server is started when the following message is shown in the console:

SPL0057I: The server Default Server is open for e-business.

Please review the server log files for additional information.

Standard output: C:\WebSphere\AppServer/logs/default_server_stdout.log

Standard error: C:\WebSphere\AppServer/logs/default_server_stderr.log

Once you have started the Application Server, start the administrator’s console by one of the two methods. Select Start—>Programs—>IBM WebSphere

Application Server V4.0 AES—>Administrator’s Console, on a Windows NT

machine, or by accessing it from a browser by typing:

http://localhost:9090/admin/

Enter a user ID in the window, and click the Submit button.

Note: This user ID does not need to be a valid user ID on the system. It is only used only for tracking user-specific changes to the configuration data.
