To check if WAS is installed
1. Log in as the root user in linux , open the terminal window, on the prompt
a. The prompt changes to:
linux:~#
2. See the directory structure.
a. linux:~# ls
If /opt directory is available then look for the sub directory IBM.
b. If IBM directory is available enter the command.
linux:~# cd /opt/IBM/
3. If WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is installed on the server a sub directory named
WebSphere would be present in /opt/IBM directory.
4. To start the WAS, give the following commands on linux:~#
a. linux:~# cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin
b. linux: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin # ./startServer.sh server1
5. If the message:
ADMU3000I: Server server1 open for e-business; process id
Appears at the end. The WebSphere server has been installed and started successfully.
To check if DB2 has been installed
1. On the start up menu there would be tab for the IBM DB2 if DB2 is installed.
Or
2. login to linux server with user name as db2inst1
3. Open the terminal window, on the prompt type :
db2inst1@linux:~> db2
press Enter.
If the prompt changes to
db2 =>
then db2 is installed on the server.
To check if WAS is running on port 9060
1. In the client browser type
eg: http://url of server:9060/ibm/console, then WAS admin page should appear.
To Backup/Restore the database into DB2
1. Login into the OS as user db2inst1, which was created by default at the
installation.
2. create database in utf-8 format on the db2 prompt using following
command
create database database name using codeset utf-8 territory us collate using
system
Where database name has to be chosen
3. To restore the database into local server use the following command on
DB2 prompt type:
RESTORE DATABASE database name FROM source location TAKEN AT
20020331234149 INTO local database name REPLACE EXISTING
Where
Database name is the name of database (ex. cdrs as show in example below)
source location is the directory where backup database file has been kept and
local database name is the name of database in local server
Example:
20020331234149: time stamp which is already written name on your
backup file name like
CDRS.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20060325172733.001 the
underlined text is your time stamp.
4. To backup a database from local server use the following command:
backup database database name to location path
where
database name is the name of database whose backup has to be taken.
location path is the path on file system where backup file has to be stored
Important: while taking backup or restoring from a backup , make
sure that users are not using the application and are not connected to
database
