2. Copy and paste the following properties files:
   • Archive
   • GeneralMonitor
   • IdCheck
   • workpoint-client
   • workpoint-server

   in the following folder:

   WAS_home/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/essentials/Workpoint/WorkPointDesigner/conf
   

3. (Remote) Download and install the IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server.
4. (Remote) 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

      • 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:

        Windows:

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

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

        Linux:

        SET JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java/jre

        SET WAS_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer

      • Save and exit.
