WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server, Version 7.1

Installing Telecom Web Services Server on a single cluster

In this scenario, the Access Gateway, the Service Policy Manager, and the Service Platform components are deployed together on the same cluster.

About this task
This scenario guides you through the steps on how to set up a single-clustered environment.
Note: This deployment is recommended for most installations. You will only need to run the installation scripts on the deployment manager.
  1. Review the prerequisites information to ensure that you have the correct operating system, hardware, and software needed to complete the installation.
  2. Configure the operating system for each server where you plan to install Telecom Web Services Server (TWSS) components.
  3. Install the database server software on the database server node. Optionally, install the database client on the deployment manager node.
  4. Install the WebSphere® Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) product on each server.

    The WebSphere Application Server product is embedded within WebSphere ESB. Make sure that WebSphere Application Server is at the version level that is required to run the TWSS Service Platform components.

  5. Create the following three groups in the user registry:
    • TWSSAdminGroup
    • PolicyAdminGroup
    • NotifyAdminGroup
    Note: The group names are used in the First Steps script.
    1. You start with a clean profile, by using the WebSphere Application Server manageProfiles command to delete the old profile, and then use the profile management tool to create a new profile.
    2. Create the cluster. You can give the cluster a descriptive name, such as TWSScluster.
      Note: Make sure to use the ESB profile for the Access Gateway on ESB.
  6. Use the Telecom Web Services Server base installer to install the TWSS base components. There are two installation procedures available: Interactive installer and Silent.
  7. Use the TWSS Services installer to install one or more Web service implementations. There are two installation procedures available: Interactive installer and Silent.
  8. Run the First Steps script to configure your system.

    The First Steps script configures WebSphere, Access Gateway, Service Policy Manager, Service Platform components, and Service implementations. This is based on the user input provided by the First Steps script on the configuration panel or response file.

    The First Steps script also publishes necessary changes and software to each server instance in the cluster. The First Steps script also deploys any application EARs that are selected in the installation.

  9. If necessary, use the TWSS Administration Console to perform additional configuration for your Web services.
    Note: Connections to the backend network elements–such as SMPP, MLP, Parlay gateway, and MM7 servers–generally need to be configured after the system is started. You can perform this configuration using the TWSS Administration Console. Additionally, the Parlay Administration Console can be used for the parlay gateway configuration.
