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.
