Create and Configure Service Layer

Using a web browser, connect to the Administrative Console using the appropriate server name and 9060 as the default port (Ex: server_name:9060/admin" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">http://server_name:9060/admin).

  1. Select Servers>New server.
  2. Select server type WebSphere application server.
  3. Enter ServiceLayer for the name of the server.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Select the default server template.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Ensure Generate Unique Http Ports is checked.
  8. Confirm the new server by clicking Finish.
  9. After the application has been created, review the messages at the top of the Application servers screen to confirm that the new server has been created successfully.
  10. Navigate to the ServiceLayer server by clicking on its name within the list of application servers.
  11. Click the Session management link in the Container Settings section.
  12. Verify that Enable Cookies is checked. This is checked by default.
  13. Click the Enable Cookies link and verify that 'Restrict cookies to HTTPS sessions' is unchecked. (This is unchecked by default.)
  14. Click OK.
  15. Click OK to save the configuration changes.

Note: These instructions assume that a fresh installation of the application server was performed. All configuration settings must use the default settings unless otherwise noted. If the application server has been used for previous deployments, you may want to create a new application server specifically for the deployment of the Service Layer environment.
