I have installed WAS 8.5 Trial version on Windows 7. I would like to deploy and run Java 7 application. Is it possible to do it?
I can not see "IBM WebSphere SDK for Java Technology Edition 7" in the IBM Installation Manager's feature list and there is no SDK 7 installed, yet.
>managesdk.bat -listAvailable
CWSDK1003I: Available SDKs :
CWSDK1005I: SDK name: 1.6_64
CWSDK1001I: Successfully performed the requested managesdk task.

Has somebody managed to make WAS 8.5 Trial and Java 7 work together on Windows 7?
Thanks in advance!
I've just found one of the possible solutions...
Select the method "Download Director or HTTP" instead of "Installation Manager (Recommended)" at the download page of Evaluate: IBM WebSphere Application Server. Then you get a list of products to download which contains "IBM WebSphere SDK Java 7, Installation Manager repository".
Select and Download all parts of the product and extract the three part to the same directory.
Start your previously installed Installation Manager and add the directory as a new repository under File > Preferences > Repositories, then press OK.
Now you can choose Install and you can select IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition (Optional) from the list of available packages.
After the installation is completed you can check if everything went well.
>managesdk.bat -listAvailable
CWSDK1003I: Available SDKs :
CWSDK1005I: SDK name: 1.6_64
CWSDK1005I: SDK name: 1.7_64

The Java SDK 1.7 is installed and you can set it as the default SDK in the Administrative Console of your server.
Server > WebSphere application servers > server > Server Infrastructure > Java SDKs
Sorry for the stupid question, I wasn't careful enough...
Firstly install the JDK 1.7 or any required version supported.(find the available using the command - managesdk.bat -listAvailable)
Then Go to the Installed WAS Server DIR and then navigate to bin folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv02\bin
For ALL Profiles
managesdk -enableProfileAll -sdkname SDK_Name -enableServers
From there execute this command(In Windows)
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer_2\profiles\AppSrv02\bin>managesdk
.bat -enableProfile -profileName AppSrv02 -sdkname 1.7_64
It gives this message to confirm.
CWSDK1017I: Profile AppSrv02 now enabled to use SDK 1.7_64.
CWSDK1001I: Successfully performed the requested managesdk task.
(In Linux)
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/WSRR/v8.5/bin/managesdk.sh -enableProfile -profileName AppSrv02 -sdkname 1.7_64
Note: AppSrv02 is the server name used in my local. Replace the name with your actual thing.

I want to install the "Web Server Plug-ins for IBM WebSphere Application Server V9.0" without the IBM InstallationManager just with an archive file.
The archive installation was already possible for the "IBM HTTP Server V9.0" from e.g.: https://ak-delivery04-mul.dhe.ibm.com/sar/CMA/WSA/086do/0/9.0.0-WS-IHS-ARCHIVE-linux-x86_64-FP011.zip and just run the postinstall.sh. But for the aforementioned Web Server plugin, I cannot find an archive to download.
Does anyone know if such an Installation is possible?
The "IHS" archive install includes the WAS Plug-in files you need for IHS in a plugins/ sub-directory off the root. No 2nd download is required.
If you need the WAS WebServer Plug-ins for some other webserver, the IM install is your only option.
We need to configure MQ QUEUE PLUG-IN connecting a RHEL Linux server. Below is version details.
Name: WebSphere MQ
Version: 8.0.0.5
Level: p800-005-160516.2
BuildType: IKAP - (Production)
Platform: WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86-64 platform)
Mode: 64-bit
O/S: Linux 2.6.32-754.2.1.el6.x86_64
http://resources.itrsgroup.com/docs/geneos/4.4.0/Netprobe/middleware/mq-queue.html
As per ITRS support we need libmqic.so - which is part of MQ Client Package. But since the server has MQ server installed we are not keen to install MQ Client.
So question is.
Can MQ Server and Client co-exist in same server ?
Its not logical that MQ server do not have equivalent of libmqic.so package. What is the equivalent of this in server installation ?
Can we just copy libmqic.so from a client installation and use ?
Any input on this would be great. Thank you.

Dwija
The MQServer bundle from IBM includes RPMs for both client and server libraries.
You can check what is installed with this command (sort/paste/column just format it nice):
rpm -qa | grep MQSeries | sort | paste -s -d' \n' | column -t
You should see something like the following:
MQSeriesClient-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesClient-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
MQSeriesGSKit-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesGSKit-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
MQSeriesJava-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesJava-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
MQSeriesJRE-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesJRE-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
MQSeriesMan-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesMan-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
MQSeriesRuntime-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesRuntime-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
MQSeriesSamples-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesSamples-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
MQSeriesSDK-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesSDK-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
MQSeriesServer-8.0.0-4.x86_64 MQSeriesServer-U8005-8.0.0-5.x86_64
The 8.0.0-4 packages are the base install and the U8005 packages are the update to fixpack 8.0.0.5.
As long as you have the MQSeriesClient* packages installed you will have access to the libraries required by ITRS NetProbe MQ QUEUE PLUG-IN.
I do not know of any reason why a MQ Admin would have an issue with installing those packages that come as part of the MQ Server bundle.
If there is some reason they do not want to install those packages then another work around is to download the redistributable client (google MQC8 for the download link). You can just extract the tar into any location on the server and then make sure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to the locate you extracted the files to either the lib (32bit) or lib64 (64bit) sub directory. You can run file netprobe to check if it is 32bit or 64bit to see which is appropriate. If you need more details on this option let me know and I can add more.
When I try to start the the deployment manager in WebSphere Application Server I'm getting the following error:
00000001 SDKUtils
A ADML0004E: An exception occurred when attempting to expand variable $(JAVA_HOME) com.ibm.wsspi.runtime.variable.
UndefinedVariableException: Undefined variable JAVA_HOME
at com.ibm.ws.runtime.component.VariableMapImpl.expand(VariableMapImpl.j
First of all you cannot set third party Java SDK for traditional WebSphere Application Server. For WAS 8.5.5.x you can only select from IBM Java 6 and IBM Java 7 which must be downloaded from IBM and installed via Installation Manager. So don't play with JAVA_HOME variable manually.
Once you install Java 7 for WAS, you can use managesdk command line tool to switch Java for given profile and server.

managesdk command
since we can not start the deployment manger or default server, there is a way to solve this problem that is add the JAVA_HOME into varibles.xml file which is under server folder. path : Installserver/profile/config/node/cell/server
Please give some more information like OS, windows, or linux, or what.
If I understand correctly you'll use the jdk of the WAS installation elsewhere?
Under Windows set JAVA_HOME accordingly within the System environment properties. logout / login after this may be a good idea.
Under linux use: export JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm/pathtoWAS/java
I would do this within .profile and maybe it's helpful to set the PATH to the jdk too!
I installed WebSphere 8.5 on Redhat Linux using the below steps.
1. Unzip the installation kit (WAS_V8.5_1_OF_3.zip, WAS_V8.5_2_OF_3.zip & WAS_V8.5_3_OF_3.zip)
2. Login as normal user
3. Navigate to the folder WLP/wlp-8500.jar
4. Install thru Running: 'java -jar wlp-8500.jar'
5. Follow the steps and complete installation (all comand line)
6. Move to wlp folder
7. Create server instance thru Moving to bin folder and Run 'server create <serverName>'
7. Start server thru Running 'server start <serverName>'
8. Check the server status thru Running 'server status <serverName>'
After this setup I created and started the server. It is up and running.
I dont know how to login to Admin console. I tried different URLs and ports nothing is working.
http://localhost:9060/ibm/console
http://localhost:9080/ibm/console
How to find the Admin Console URL or Port no?
You have installed WebSphere Liberty Profile (wlp) not the full (aka classic) WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Liberty doesn't have full administrative console like classic one. You have only simplified adminCenter feature, which must be installed separately.
The Admin Center is a web user interface that runs on Liberty profile V8.5.5.2 and later servers, since you have 8.5.0.0 version looking at your log, you will have to install later version to see it.
See also:
AdminCenter feature
Settig up AdminCenter in Liberty
AdminCenter on youtube - Overview, New features (03/2015)
If you want full administrative console, you have to use Installation Manager and install WebSphere Application Server, not the Liberty profile.
I can only tell you the default ports you may have changed them:
http : 9060
https: 9043
To find the exact port:
Open WC_profiledir/logs/AboutThisProfile.txt
Look for lines similar to the following:
Administrative console port: 9102
Administrative console secure port: 9104
I have a websphere application server installation, the versioninfo.sh command show this

Can I upgrade this installation directly to Websphere Network Deployment edition?
You can certainly do that. This involves installing and creeating Deployment manager's profile and federating this server to that Dmgr's Cell.
