This process was tested using WebSphere Version 3.5. Configuring multiple domains on a machine is not formally supported in WebSphere Version 3.5, but it is planned for a future release. An administrative domain is a collection of one or more administrative servers that share an administrative database. That is, the set of application servers and their contents appear the same to all administrative servers in a domain because they share the same administrative data. Similarly, application servers on the machine are unaware of one another if residing in different domains.
Application servers receive application requests from separate Web servers.
The following steps describe how to create two WebSphere administrative domains and two Web servers. They also explain how these Web servers serve the two WebSphere administrative domains. Create a new database called was2. Refer to the WebSphere Getting Started guide for how to set up a DB2 client. Copy any existing files in deployedEJBs to deployedEJBs2.
