eClient 101 Customization and Integration

Chapter 3. Installing eClient in a WebSphere Network Deployment environment 73

3.7.3 Starting the eClient cluster server

You can start your eClient cluster server in the WebSphere Administrative

Console:

1. Select Servers ->Clusters in Navigation pane on the left.

2. Select entry eClient in the Server Cluster window on the right.

3. Click Start to start the cluster server. This starts all cluster members. For our

scenario, both server eClient_Server on node cm02 and eClient_Server_04

on node cm04 are started.

4. Select Servers ->Application Servers in the Navigation pane on the left.

The Application Servers window on the right shows the running status for all

servers.

3.8 Configuring HTTP Web server

Since many changes have been made in the WebSphere Application Server

Network Deployment environment, you must regenerate the Web server plug-in

file and deploy it to the Web server.

1. On the Deployment Manager node (machine cm02), launch a Network

Deployment Administrative Console by selecting Start -> Programs -> IBM

WebSphere -> Application Server v5.0 -> Network Deployment

Administrative Console.

2. Select Environment -> Update Web Server Plugin in the Navigation pane

on the left.

3. Click OK to re-generate the Web server plug-in. The plug-in file is

c:\WebSphere\DeploymentManager\config\cells\plugin-cfg.xml and it is on

machine cm02.

4. Copy the new generated Web server plug-in file to the Web server machine,

which is the machine cm01 for our scenario. The file must be copied to the

c:\WebSphere\appServer\config\cells\ directory. You should back up the

original plug-in file plugin-cfg.xml before replacing the old plug-in file with the

new one.

5. Since the WebSphere directory structure is different on machines cm01 and

cm02, you must modify the new generated Web server plug-in file.

a. Open the file c:\WebSphere\appServer\config\cells\plugin-cfg.xml on

machine cm01 in a file editor.

b. Replace c:\WebSphere\DeploymentManager with

c:\WebSphere\appServer in all occurrences.

c. Save the changes.
