Propagating WebSphere Plug-ins

To propagate the generated WebSphere plug-ins:

1. Log on to the WebSphere Administrative console as described in Accessing the WebSphere Administration Console.

2. On the left hand navigation pane, select Servers > Server Types > WebServers.

3. Click the check box next to the webserver definition for which you want to propagate plug-ins.

4. 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:

   x:\IBM\HTTPServer\Plugins\config\webserver80\plugin-cfg.xml

   where x: is the drive on which the IBM HTTP Server is installed.

   /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:

1. Log on to the Deployment Manager Administration Console using the Dmgr01 profile.

   

2. Expand the Environment node and select Update global Web server plug-in configuration.

3. Review the content in the right-hand pane and note the location of the plug-in file in the description. For example, the description might say:

   The global plugin-cfg.xml file is placed in the %was_profile_home%/config/cells directory.

4. Click the OK button.
