Create a HTML Web Server as a New Managed Instance

You must use Server Manager to install a new HTML Web Server instance.

WebSphere Security Consideration for Federated Servers. For WebSphere Federated Servers only, if Administrative Security is turned on for the profile containing the deployment manager, you must turn it OFF before proceeding with the creation of the Managed Instance for the HTML Web Server. After disabling security, you must restart the deployment manager. All nodes in the management domain will also have to be restarted and resynchronized. The Management Agent to which the WebSphere Application Server is registered must also be restarted. For additional details, refer Post Install for a Federated Server in Network Deployment Mode to in this chapter.

To install an JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Web Server instance:

1. Select the Managed Home in which you wish to install the HTML Web Server.

   

2. Click the Create a New Managed Instance button to create the Managed Instance in the Managed Home.

   

3. On Create/Register a Managed Instance, Instance Type, select this radio button:

   EnterpriseOne HTML Server

4. Click Continue.

   

   Note:

   The Propagate Enterprise Server Config drop-down appears only if any enterprise server is registered within the Server Manager console. The Propagate Enterprise Server Config drop-down contains the available enterprise server instances registered with the SM console within a particular selected server group. NONE is added to the drop-down by default.

5. On Create/Register a Managed Instance, Instance Properties, complete these fields:

   • Server Group

     Use the dropdown to select the Server Group to which you want this instance to belong.

     Also refer to Administer Server Groups.

   • Instance Name

     Enter a name for the instance.

     Tip:

     A good business practice is to name your instances so that they are easily and consistently identifiable. For example:

     PRODUCT_SERVER_PORT

     where PRODUCT is the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server type, such as Enterprise_Server, HTML_Web_Server, RTE_Transaction_Server, Collaborative_Portal, or Business_Services, and

     where SERVER is the machine on which the instance is installed, and

     where PORT is the HTTP port which is defined for use by this server.

   • J2EE Server

     Use the dropdown to select a valid J2EE server.

   • HTTP Port

     You must ensure that the port that you specify is available and is not being used by any other application currently installed and running on the server on which the application server is running.

   • Software Component

     Use the dropdown to select the version of this Software Component that you wish to install.

   • Propagate Enterprise Server Config

     Select the enterprise server from the drop-down list to propagate the configurations.

     Note:

     By default, the selected item is set to NONE. Selecting NONE signifies that you do not wish to propagate configurations from any available enterprise server. If any enterprise server is selected, all of the inherited values are seen in the next screen, otherwise the properties are seen with blank/default values. If propagated, the propagated values are not editable on the confirmation page, however they can be modified post installation.

6. Click Continue.

   

   

   Note:

   This example illustrates an installation on a WebSphere Application Server by selecting an enterprise server to be propagated. If installing on WLS, the HTTP Server (WAS Only) field is not displayed.

   

   

   Note:

   This example illustrates an installation on a WebSphere Application Server by selecting NONE under Propagate Enterprise Server Config. If installing on WLS, the HTTP Server (WAS Only) field is not displayed.

7. On Create/Register a Managed Instance, Confirmation, review the key configuration items. The page displays a variety of fields depending on your application server (WAS or WLS). The values on this form must be confirmed manually. You must validate or update, as appropriate, all configuration items.

   Tip:

   For help, click the Information icon next to the title of a field.

8. After you have validated and updated all configuration items, click Continue to proceed to the next installation step.

   

9. On Create/Register a Managed Instance, Finish, click the Create Instance button to complete the installation of the HTML Web Server.

   

   After you have completed the installation, the browser is redirected to the Management Console page for the newly registered HTML Server. This server also appears as a Managed Instance in the corresponding Managed Home.

   For each registered Managed Instance, the Management Console displays appropriate information at the top of the page:

   • General

     • Status

       Valid values are:

       Running

       When the status is Running, the Stop button is available.

       Stopped

       When the status is Stopped, the Start button is available.

   • Instance Properties

     • Instance Name

       The name assigned to the Managed Instance at the time it was created or registered.

     • HTTP Port

       Displays the HTTP Port for this server and also provides a link to the HTTP server.

     • Application Server Instance

       Displays the application server into which this EnterpriseOne server is installed and also provides a link to the application server instance and associated domain (Oracle webLogic Server) or profile (WebSphere Application Server).

Note:

The display of some information is dependent on the status of the Managed Instances. For example, if a Managed Instance is not running, then the Software Component information cannot be displayed.
