We are using Websphere liberty 20.0.0.12 and spring boot (parent) version 2.0.5.
I can find the connection pool information in the JConsole.
How can I print Websphere connection pool information in application logs?
(Read comments of approved answer if using liberty server instead of traditional websphere application server)
IBM support doc at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-enable-connection-pool-trace-websphere-application-server describes how to enable printing of various connection pool stats in the trace log for traditional WAS, for Liberty, you'll use the same trace specification WAS.j2c=all:RRA=all(you don't need Transaction) and put a logging element in your server config file (typically server.xml). See Liberty doc at https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/log-trace-configuration.html for more info.
Is it possible to have both profiles on Liberty 17.0.0.2.
By both, I mean WAS traditional full profile and Liberty profile on WAS Liberty 17.0.0.2.
Technically, no. The only thing that uses that versioning is Liberty based products and the liberty runtime (profile) itself. These do not include anything with the full profile / traditional WAS.
In more practical terms, products like "WebSphere Application Server Base" or "WebSphere Application Server ND" 9.0.0.4 includes the 17.0.0.2 liberty profile as well as the 9.0.0.4 "full profile".
I am looking to migrate my application to run on Liberty profile 8.5 instead of Websphere Application server 7.5. In this process, I need to do server configuration by setting up LDAP, Database source and JMS. As I am new to Liberty profile, I am looking for help in setting up these. May I get some suggestions from you to complete these settings?
This is a bit broad question, so I'll give you some pointers to documentation to get you started (There is no WAS 7.5, so you probably mean 7.0).
WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile Guide for Developers - this will give you some basic general information to get you started with Liberty
Data source configuration - basic configuration is quite simple, you define it in server.xml file (you didn't mention which DB you are using, so here is sample with Derby)
<library id="derby">
<fileset dir="${shared.resource.dir}/derby"/>
</library>
<jdbcDriver id="derbyDriver" libraryRef="derby"/>
<dataSource jdbcDriverRef="derbyDriver" jndiName="jdbc/DataSourceJNDI" type="javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource">
<properties.derby.embedded createDatabase="false" databaseName="D:\path\DB"/>
</dataSource>
For more specific information regarding migrating DB2 data sources see
Migrating a DB2 data source to the Liberty profile
LDAP configuration - basic configuration for MS Active Directory
<ldapRegistry id="ldap" realm="SampleLdapADRealm"
host="ldapserver.mycity.mycompany.com" port="389" ignoreCase="true"
baseDN="cn=users,dc=adtest,dc=mycity,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
bindDN="cn=testuser,cn=users,dc=adtest,dc=mycity,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
bindPassword="testuserpwd"
ldapType="Microsoft Active Directory">
<activedFilters
userFilter="(&(sAMAccountName=%v)(objectcategory=user))"&(sAMAccountName=%v)(objectcategory=user))"
groupFilter="(&(cn=%v)(objectcategory=group))"
userIdMap="user:sAMAccountName"
groupIdMap="*:cn"
groupMemberIdMap="memberOf:member">
</activedFilters>
</ldapRegistry>
For more details and other LDAP see Configuring LDAP user registries with the Liberty profile
JMS - as you didn't provide details, if you are acting as JMS server or client and which JMS provider are you using (default or MQ), check this page as starting point for JMS related configuration - Liberty profile: JMS messaging
Application migration - if you want to check, if there are any issues with your application code regarding migration, you can install plugin for Eclipse/RAD -
WebSphere Application Server Migration Toolkit – Liberty Tech Preview which will scan your code for incompatibilities.
I am using the IBM WebSphere Application server v8.5 Liberty Profile. I have enabled the feature jndi-1.0 in server.xml by adding
<feature>jndi-1.0</feature>
But still I get the error "An attempt was made to retrieve an initial context for [ClassName] but no JNDI feature is configured."
Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
in WebSphere there's a section about WebSphere variables, that are available inside the Java code of any web application.
Is there a similar section into Oracle WebLogic?
thanks
