While you can deploy a resource adapter archive (RAR)
in an integrated test environment within your development environment, you
also have the choice to deploy the IMS™ TM resource adapter RAR on a standalone
WebSphere Application Server.
You must have installed the IMS TM resource adapter RAR to a file system
that is accessible to your standalone WebSphere® Application Server.
To deploy the RAR on a standalone WebSphere Application Server, complete
the following steps:
- On the welcome page of WebSphere Application Server, expand Resources
–> Resource Adapters. Click on Resource adapters.
- If the RAR is not already installed, click Install RAR.
Note: If a RAR that you don't want to use is already installed, you
might have to delete it first. Stop and restart the WebSphere Application Server and then
proceed with the installation of the desired RAR.
- On the Install RAR File panel, select where
you would like to install the RAR from: local path or server path.
- If you choose local path, specify the local path where the RAR is
located. Click Next.
- On the Configuration page, give a name for
the RAR. Click OK.
- To save your results in the master configuration, click Save at
the top of the panel.
