Setting Up IBM WebSphere as a Service

Problem:

If the user that starts the IBM WebSphere web server logs off the system, the web server is shut down. A Windows service must be created to ensure that the web service(s) remain running.

Solution:

At Command Prompt, issue the following commands:

E:
 cd E:IBMWebSphereAppServerbin
 WASService.exe -add fsdev -serverName server1 -wasHome E:IBMWebSphereAppServer -profilePath E:PSOFTFS900webservfsdev -logFile E:IBMWebSphereAppServerlogsstartNodefsdev.log -restart true -startType automatic

Setting up the WebSphere Node Manager as a Windows service

First, you need to set up the Node Manager on each physical server to run as a service and restart after a reboot:

Open a Command Window and go to the ..IBMWebSphereAppServerbin directory
Type in the following command (adjusted for your install paths):

WASService -add “IBM WebSphere Node Agent” -servername nodeagent -profilePath D:IBMWebSphereAppServerprofilesAppSrv01 -wasHome D:IBMWebsphereAppserver -logFile D:IBMWebSphereAppServerprofilesAppSrv01logsnodeagentstartNode.log -logRoot D:IBMWebSphereAppServerprofilesAppSrv01logsnodeagent -restart true -startType automatic
