Preface
This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides system administrators and developers with the
knowledge to configure an IBM WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.5 runtime
environment, to package and deploy applications, and to perform ongoing management of the
WebSphere environment. As one in a series of IBM Redbooks publications and IBM
Redpapers™ publications for V8.5, the entire series is designed to give you in-depth
information about key WebSphere Application Server features.
WebSphere Application Server V8.5 provides two runtime profiles. Every WebSphere
Application Server package includes both profile types. The run time traditionally available
with the WebSphere Application Server packages is referred to as the
full profile. The
application serving run time provided with this profile is composed of a wide spectrum of
runtime components that are available when the server is started. The full profile provides
support for Java Platform Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6) and Enterprise OSGi technologies.
The
Liberty profile provides a simplified stand-alone run time for web applications, supporting
a subset of the programming model available with the full profile. Any application that runs on
the Liberty profile will also run on the full profile.
In this book, we provide a detailed exploration of the WebSphere Application Server V8.5
runtime administration process for the
full profile. This book includes configuration and
administration information for WebSphere Application Server V8.5 and WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment V8.5 on distributed platforms and WebSphere
Application Server for IBM z/OS® V8.5.
This book has been updated with information about the new features in WebSphere
Application Server V8.5.5. The Liberty profile administration and configuration information
has been moved into a separate book.
