Create a J2EE Server Container for the WebSphere Application Server (WAS)

Note: There is a one-to-one relationship between a web-based server and a J2EE Server Container. You cannot install more than one web-based server in each J2EE Server.

To create a J2EE Server Container:

  1. Select the existing Managed Instance for a running WebSphere Application Server with which you wish to create a new J2EE Server Container.

  2. In the Profiles and Servers section of the page, click the on an existing Profile Name.

    Tip: If you plan to use this J2EE Server Container to run a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Business Services Server, you should select a secure profile. This profile must be created and configured within the WebSphere Application Server itself.

  3. On the J2EE Servers section of the page, use the form to create a new J2EE Server Container, complete these fields:

    • Node Name

  4. Click the Create Server button.

  5. On the J2EE Servers section of the page, select the J2EE Server Container that you just created and click the Start button.

    Note: While you are not required to start the J2EE Server, it is good practice to ensure that it is properly created and able to start. Otherwise, it might not start as expected during the installation process for a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne web-based server.
    Tip: The Server Manager displays a progress monitor indicating that the Start operation is in progress and will continue even if you close the browser. After the progress monitor is no longer displayed, you can refresh the Management Console page to verify that the newly-created J2EE Server starts as expected.
Note: If you do not install the JDBC drivers before installing the Web-Based Server Instance, the Web-Based Server Instance will not be able to start as expected at the end of the installation. Refer to Install or Uninstall JDBC Drivers to the J2EE Server (WLS or WAS).
