IBM WebSphere Application Server (V 5.1)

We have a fully functional installation of WebSphere, including  JMS support and a connection to backend DB2 relational database engine.

We also have IBM HTTP server installed. This is Apache with a special module for integrating with WebSphere.

Additionally, we have the Tivoli performance viewer. This is a GUI based client for viewing real-time performance data collected from WebSphere.

As a jumpstart, we have installed the Trade3 benchmark application. Our installed of Trade3 is on WebSphere running on dagobah and it uses DB2 running on tatooine. This copy of Trade3 runs both the backend EJBs as well as the web tier with its Servlets and JSPs. We have a modified version where the web tier (Servlets/HTML/JSP) runs on a separate Tomcat server. Please contact mansour@cc if you need instructions on how to obtain and run this configuration.

The WebSphere software is installed on dabgoah and hoth. Please send email to help@cc to get access to these machines.

DB2 -- Universal Database Express Edition (V 8.1)


This is a fully functional relational database engine. The database engine is installed on both tatooine.cc and dagobah.cc. We prefer to keep all our database instances on tatooine, the software on dagobah is there just to have the dlls needed by a Java client.

How to Use the Software

The database software is installed on tatooine and dagobah at /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1 To use any of the DB2 utilities run the db2profile script to initialize your environment: 
. ~db2inst/sqllib/db2profile
We prefer to assign a separate database instance to different projects. Please contact us if you need a new database instance.
