Setting up WebSphere

These WebSphere requirements apply to Infor Lawson System Foundation installed in a single Lawson server configuration.

Lawson System Foundation must be deployed in an application server within a node that is federated to the WebSphere Network Deployment Manager. For each Environment on your system, you create the following:

  • A web server with a unique listening port.

  • A custom profile for each Environment. We recommend that you include the Environment name in the profile name, for example lsfprod1_profile. Use the same Environment name you will use when you install Infor Lawson Core Technology.

  • A WebSphere application server, configured with values specific to the Environment.

  • A virtual host, which defines the unique ports over which the web server and application server communicate.

If you are installing in a scaled configuration, there are special setup requirements.

  • For vertically- scaled installations, see Manual Cluster Setup and IOS Cache Refresh for additional WebSphere setup and deployment instructions.

  • If you plan to use horizontal scaling, see the Horizontal Scaling Installation Guide.

Note: If you plan to install Infor Lawson Core Technology with Infor Landmark Technology and want to use a single Deployment Manager for multiple WebSphere instances, the Deployment Manager must reside on the Landmark server.
