Deploy the Web Interface on WebSphere (Windows)

You can deploy the Web Interface on WebSphere for Windows.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that the target WebSphere Application Server is running.
2. Start the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console.
3. Expand the Applications entry in the Actions tree in the left frame.
4. Click Install New Application.
5. In the Preparing for the Application Installation dialog, under Path, select Local Path and enter the path name for the fully qualified path to the harweb.war file created when you installed the Web Interface.

   Important! You can enter non-English characters (such as Japanese or accented characters) when you specify the name of the context root (WAR file name). Note, however, that .WAR file names with non-English characters may lead to problems due to system limitations in some servlet containers. If your .WAR filename contains non-English characters, Tomcat and other application servers may not be able to generate a context with a matching name. Therefore, you should use only single-byte, English characters when you name the .WAR file you are creating, especially for Tomcat.

6. Under Context Root, enter /webapp-name, where webapp-name is the name of your web application, and click Next.
7. Set the following options:
   • Activate the Generate Default Bindings check box.
   • Click the button named Do not override existing binding.
   • Click the button named Default virtual host name for web modules.
8. Click Next.
9. In the Application Security Warning dialog, click Continue.
10. For Step 1 in the Install New Application dialog, enter an appropriate name and specify the Web Interface as the application name. The default name is harweb.war. Click Next.
11. Check harweb.war with virtual host mapping as the default_host. Click Next.
12. Select appropriate site-specific options. Click Finish when completed.
13. On the Enterprise Applications frame, select the check box for the name you previously gave this application. Click Next.
14. Click Finish and Save the configuration.
15. Select the application and click Start.

    The Web Interface is now deployed into your application server and is addressable as /webapp-name, where webapp-name is the name of your Web Interface application instance appended to your web application server's URL.
