Module 1: Prepare the mixed WAS and stand-alone environment
Before you start the tutorial, create a basic topology that includes container servers that run within WAS. In this tutorial, the catalog servers run in stand-alone mode.
Learning objectives
With the lessons in this module, you learn how to:
- Understand the mixed topology and the files that are necessary for the tutorial
- Configure WAS to run the container servers
Time required
This module takes approximately 60 minutes.
Lessons in this module
- Lesson 1.1: Understand the topology and get the tutorial files
To prepare the environment for the tutorial, configure the catalog and container servers for the topology.
- Lesson 1.2: Configure the WAS environment
To prepare the environment for the tutorial, configure WAS security. Enable administration and application security using internal file-based federated repositories as a user account registry. Then, you can create server clusters to host the client application and container servers. You also must create and start the catalog servers.
