Install Workpoint Designer to Work with WebSphere

This procedure describes how to install and configure a remote version of Workpoint Designer to work with a CA GovernanceMinder server on WebSphere.

Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the following directory on the server where you ran the CA GovernanceMinder installer: 
    /root/Workpoint_Designer

    Note: gm_install is the CA GovernanceMinder installation directory.

  2. Copy the Workpoint Designer directory to a system that runs a supported version of Windows or Linux. Continue this procedure on that system.
  3. Download and install the IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server.
  4. (Optional) Define an ODBC Data Source that points to the CA GovernanceMinder Workpoint database.
  5. Configure the Workpoint Designer as follows:
    1. In the Workpoint Designer directory, locate the workpoint-client.properties in the following folder:

      \conf

    2. Open the workpoint-client.properties file and make the following changes:
      • Under the J2EE Client Configuration header, change all lines in the JBoss SETTINGS section into remarks by adding the # character.
      • Remove the # character from all lines of the IBM WEBSPHERE SETTINGS section to make these lines active.
      • Save and exit.
    3. Locate the init.bat or initi.sh file located in the following directory:

      \bin

    4. Edit the init.bat or init.sh file by doing the following steps:
      • Add the rem keyword to all lines in the USE WITH JBoss section.
      • Remove the rem keyword from all lines in the USE WITH IBM WEBSPHERE section.
      • Set the JAVA_HOME and WAS_HOME properties to the WebSphere Application Server client application. Typically the values are as follows:

        SET JAVA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\WebSphere\AppClient\java\jre

        SET WAS_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\WebSphere\AppClient

      • Save and exit.
  6. Verify the Workpoint Designer installation.

    Workpoint Designer is installed and configured to work with a WebSphere installation.
