Create a WebAgent.conf File

The FWS application requires the WebAgent.conf file; however, the Web Agent Option Pack does not install this file so you need to create it.

To create a WebAgent.conf file:

1. Copy the WebAgent.conf file from Machine 1 to the following directory on Machine 2 and Machine 5:

   /webagent_option_pack_home/config

   where webagent_option_pack_home is the installed location of the Web Agent Option Pack on Machine 2 and Machine 5.

2. Modify the WebAgent.conf file by:
   1. Setting the EnableWebAgent parameter to YES.
   2. Modifying any other configuration parameters to suit the environment for the FWS application.

The following is a sample of a WebAgent.conf file for the FWS application:

# WebAgent.conf - configuration file for the Federation Web Services Application
#agentname="<agent_name>, <IP_address>"
HostConfigFile="/<webagent_option_pack>/config/SmHost.conf"
AgentConfigObject="<agent_config_object_name>"
EnableWebAgent="YES"
