Administration considerations for preinstalled systems

If WebSphere Application Server - Express is preinstalled on your iSeries server, an application server and an HTTP server are preconfigured for you. The application server is called ITD and includes the deployed IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 and IBM Welcome Page V1.1 enterprise Web applications provided exclusively for iSeries servers. The HTTP server is also called ITD and is configured for the ITD application server.

IBM Telephone Directory and IBM Welcome Page are enterprise Web applications provided by IBM Business Solutions. The applications are easy to understand, simple to use, provide services for any business, and show the use and integration of Web technologies on iSeries. See the following for more information:

Verify that the HTTP server and applcation server exist

To verify that the ITD HTTP server and the ITD application server exist, follow these steps:

  1. Start the HTTP Server Administration interface.
  2. In the Server list, look for these entries: If these entries exist, the HTTP server and the application server are preconfigured.

Note: By default, the preconfigured ITD application server uses a block of ports beginning with port 2030 (ports 2030-2041). If another process on your iSeries server uses these ports already, you must change the ports for the ITD application server. For information on changing the ports assigned to an application server, see Change application server ports with the chgwassvr script and Change application server ports with the console and wsadmin.

Install and run other applications on a preinstalled system

On a preinstalled system, you do not need to create a new application server before you deploy applications. You can deploy your applications in the ITD application server.
