Verify the WebSphere installation

  1. Restart the web server.
  2. Restart the WebSphere Application Servers.
  3. Restart the Deployment Manager. From qsh, run the commands:

    /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<version>/ND

    /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<version>/ND/profiles/dmgr/bin/stopManager

    /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<version>/ND/profiles/dmgr/bin/startManager

    Where <version> is V85 for WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5

  4. Ensure that the Default Application (IBM's DefaultApplication.ear) is running. You may need to install the default application.
  5. Use the sample applications to verify that web server traffic is redirected to the servlet container. In the address line of a web browser, type:

    http://WebServerName:WebServerPort/snoop

    • If the snoop servlet page appears, redirection is working.

    • If the snoop servlet page does not appear, check the web server configuration, correct errors, and re-try the snoop servlet test.

  6. Use the WebSphere Administration Console to un-install the Default Application. Lawson applications cannot run if the Default Application is running.
