26 Geac System21 commerce.connect: Implementation on the iSeries Server
The import includes:
The node
The SalesOrder application and all contents
The JDBC driver required
The datasource required.
The config.xml file contains the following variables, which are substituted on the import
command and replaced with real names:
$NodeName$: This is the WebSphere node name. The node name in WebSphere is case
sensitive. This is relevant when you start the console with AdminClient and when you
specify an Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) address for a Java Naming and Directory
Interface (JNDI) lookup (for example, within the batch files that start client programs). It is
also relevant to tools such as the XML export/import utility.
Usually the name is entirely in lowercase. On some systems, it is entirely in uppercase
and could, in theory, be a mixture of both.
If you find that the console fails to start with such messages as “Could not get
attributes” (similar to when the service/subsystem is not started), but the service is
started, then the problem may be that you are using the incorrect case on the name.
You can verify the required name by using the following SQL to look at a WebSphere table:
select NAME
from EJSADMIN/NODE_TABLE
This shows the node name exactly as WebSphere wants it to appear. Do not be tempted
to change the contents of this table. It is liable to make things worse rather than better.
$AppName$: This is the application name that is typically SalesOrder for the default
instance.
$Dir$: This is the root directory for the installation. This is the directory that contains the
subdirectories cfg, deployed, and log. For the default instance, this is usually
/OrderManagement.
$ContainerName$: This is the container name that is typically the same as the
application name, but can be different.
Starting the application
To start the application, follow these steps:
1. Start a WebSphere console. In a command prompt, change the directory to:
..\WebSphere\appserver\bin
Note: You must have QSECOFR user authority to read this table.
Note: The application name should be less than 11 characters in length so that you can
clearly see it on the iSeries server when you use the WRKACTJOB SBS(QEJBSBS)
command. Longer names are allowed but must be truncated when viewed this way.
Note: This is a standard directory for a default installation of the console. However, you
can install the console in a different directory if necessary.
