Configuring Web and Application Servers
The WebFOCUS environment will comprise a WebSphere Network
Deployment that has a WebSphere cluster with two members. This means
that when the WebFOCUS web applications are installed, they must
be installed to the WebSphere cluster, not to the individual WebSphere
application server instances.

Procedure: How to Configure Web and Application Servers
To
configure web and application servers:
-
Verify that the WebSphere JPA 2.0 Feature Pack
is installed from the WebSphere Admin Console for each of the two
WebSphere application servers in the WebSphere cluster.
In the list of application servers, the version for each
of the WebSphere application servers to be used for WebFOCUS should
reflect that JPA 2.0 is installed, as shown in the following image.
-
From the WebSphere Admin Console, add the Oracle JDBC
driver to the Java Setting of the WebSphere Application Server instance.
-
Navigate to Application Servers, {Server
Instance}, Server Infrastructure, Java
and Process Management, Process Definition,
and then Java Virtual Machine.
-
Under General Properties, add
the fully qualified path to the Oracle JDBC driver to Classpath,
as shown in the following image.
-
Install the WebFOCUS web applications packaged with WebFOCUS
8 to the WebSphere Network Deployment Cluster Node:
install_directory/webapps/webfocus.war (context root /ibi_apps)
install_directory/webapps/ibi_help.war (context root /ibi_help)
-
Generate and propagate the web server plug-in.
-
Start the WebFOCUS web applications and application server.
