A status message will display under the Web servers section.
You must restart the IBM HTTP for any plug-in changes to take effect.
To propagate the generated WebSphere plug-ins:
Log on to the WebSphere Administrative console as described in Accessing the WebSphere Administration Console.
On the left hand navigation pane, select Servers > Server Types > WebServers.
Click the check box next to the webserver definition for which you want to propagate plug-ins.
To generate plug-ins, click the Propagate Plug-in button, which is located above the webserver definition.
The Plug-in file plugin-cfg.xml is propagated in place, typically at this location:
/u01/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml
A status message displays under the Web servers section as indicated in this screenshot sample:
Note:
Federated (Clustered) Web Servers. If you are using WebSphere Application Server and running JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as part of a federated (or clustered) web server, you may need to regenerate the WebSphere global plugin configuration after deploying the newest tools release. This is required when new servlets have been added to the tools release you are deploying.To update (regenerate) plugins, refer to the following procedure.
To update (regenerate) and propagate the global web server plugin configuration:
Log on to the Deployment Manager Administration Console using the Dmgr01 profile.

Exit the Profile Management Tool by choosing File > Exit.
This section is provided as reference in case you need to delete a WebSphere base or Network Deployment profile.
From a command prompt, change to this directory:
cd /u01/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin
To delete a profile, issue this command:
./manageprofiles.sh delete profileName profile_name
where profile_name
is the name of the profile to be deleted.
If the profile_name
is valid, and the command successfully executed, the system returns this message:
INSTCONFSUCCESS: Success: The profile no longer exists.
When you delete a profile, the profile and its directory are deleted, except for the logs directory. You must manually delete the logs directory and then delete the profile directory.
Each profile should be associated with a Web Server. The EnterpriseOne HTML Web Server install fails if it does not find a webserver associated with the profile specified during the install. If the newly created profile is an ND profile, you can create the Web Server by using the button Create a New Web Server from the Web Servers page on the WebSphere Administrator Console. However, if the newly created profile is not an ND profile, the option to Create a New Web Server is not available. Instead, you must create a new web server must be created from the command line.
To add a new web server for a new profile from the command line:
Locate a copy of this Web Server configuration file which is typically located in this directory with this name:
/u01/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/bin
Make a copy of the configurewebserver<webserver_port>.bat
file assigning a new port value to the copy. For example, assuming you have changed directory to /u01/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/bin
:
cp configurewebserver1.sh configurewebserver2.sh
Do not manually copy the configurewebserver1.sh
file to the specific profile directory.
Edit the new configuration file (configurewebserver2.sh
) file that resides in the /u01/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/bin
directory to change the settings to be unique to and specific to your newly created profile.
Change the settings to be unique to and specific to your newly created profile.
A sample file is provided below where:
the newly created profile is called AppSrv02, and
the new webserver will be called webserver81, and
the name of the node that we specified for our new profile is SERVERNode02, and
the name of the server itself is SERVER.domain.com.
The above is illustrated by the bolded settings in this sample file:
/u01/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv02/bin/wsadmin.sh $PRO-FILE_NAME_PARAMETER $WSADMIN_USERID_PARAMETER $WSADMIN_PASSWORD_PARAMETER -conntype NONE -f '/u01/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/configureWebserverDefinition.jacl' web-server2 IHS '/u01/IBM/HTTPServer' '/u01/IBM/HTTPServer/conf/httpd.conf' 81 MAP_ALL '/u01/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins' managed densun30Node02 den-sun30.mlab.jdedwards.com solaris
Note:
Where the original settings for these bolded entries were probably something similar to these:AppSrv01
web-server1
80
SERVERNode01
Save the file.
From the directory where the shell script exists, execute it using this command:
./configurewebserver2.sh
The console displays these messages when the shell script is running and finishes:
Verify your newly created Web Server is created by logging into the WebSphere Admin Console and clicking on Web Servers. For example:
