WebSphere WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Version 6.0.1 Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows

Creating a server

You can create servers using either the Create New Application Server wizard in the administrative console or the createApplicationServer wsadmin command.

Before you begin

Before you can create a server, you must have created a custom profile then federated the node into a deployment manager cell; for example, as described in Creating a new WebSphere ESB custom profile.

Why and when to perform this task

Before you can deploy an SCA module, you must create a server that is to run the SCA module.

You can deploy several SCA modules to the same server, so you only need to complete this task if you want to create a new server; for example, to handle more client connections or provide greater message throughput than the one server, or to separate the administration of SCA modules onto different servers.

To create a server, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Display the list of servers.

    In the navigation pane, expand Servers > Application servers.

  2. Click New.
  3. On the Create New Application Server page, follow the instructions to define your server.
    1. Select the node on which you want the server to run.

      The node must be a WebSphere ESB managed node.

    2. Type a unique name for the server.

      The name must be unique within the node.

    3. Click Next
    4. Select the defaultESBServer template (or an existing server) to create the server.

      Instead of the defaultESBServer template, you can use an existing ESB server as a template. The new server inherits all properties of the template server.

    5. Click Next
    6. For the Generate Unique Http Ports option, choose whether the new server will have unique ports for each HTTP transport.

      By default, the Generate Unique Http Ports option is selected. If you select this option, you might need to update the alias list for the virtual host that you plan to use with this server to contain these new port values. If you deselect this option, ensure that the default port values do not conflict with other servers on the same physical machine.

      For more information about using unique HTTP ports, see Configuring HTTP transports.

    7. Click Next
    8. If you create the new server using an existing server as a template, do not select to map applications from the existing server to the new server. By default, this option is disabled.
    9. Click Next
    10. On the Confirm new server page, check the summary. To complete the server creation, click the Finish.

      If there are settings you wish to change, click Previous to review or change the server settings.

  4. Optional: To use multiple language encoding support in the administrative console, configure an application server with UTF-8 encoding enabled.
  5. Save your changes to the master configuration.

Result

The server is created and added automatically to the SCA* buses for your cell.

The new server appears in the list of servers on the Application Servers page.

What to do next

You can now manage the server; for example, to start the server or deploy SCA modules.

Note: The server was created with default values for some of its properties. A server has many properties that can be set, and creating a server on the Create New Application Server page specifies values for only some of the important properties. To view all of the properties of your server, and to customize your server further, click on the name of your server on the Application Servers page. This displays the server detail settings page, on which you can view and change properties as needed.
