Reporting the changes in the WebSphere Application Server configuration file

About this task

If the following components changed the host name or IP address you must report the changed value in the WebSphere Application Server configuration file, performing the following steps:
  • Master domain manager
  • Backup master domain manager
  • Connector or z/OS connector
  • Dynamic Workload Console
  1. Stop the WebSphere Application Server.
  2. Obtain the changed host name, IP address, or both.
  3. Run the showHostProperties tool by redirecting the output to a text file to obtain the current properties.
  4. Open the file and go to the Host Configuration Panel.
    Below an example of the section you have to refer to: 
    ################################################################
# Host Configuration Panel
################################################################
# Old Hostname
oldHostname=myoldhost.romelab.ibm.it.com
# New Hostname
newHostname=mynewhost.romelab.ibm.it.com.....

################################################################

bootPort=41117
bootHost=myhost.mydomain.com
soapPort=41118
soapHost=myhost.mydomain.com
httpPort=41115
httpHost=*
httpsPort=41116
httpsHost=*
adminPort=41123

sasPort=41119
sasHost=myhost.mydomain.com
csiServerAuthPort=41120
csiServerAuthHost=myhost.mydomain.com
csiMuthualAuthPort=41121
csiMuthualAuthHost=myhost.mydomain.com
orbPort=41122
orbHost=myhost.mydomain.com
  5. Verify that the value for the properties listed below were changed with the actual values:
    • Old Hostname
    • New Hostname
    • The host names for the specific port properties
    If this values are different from the actual host name or IP address values, proceed with Step 6. If this values are not changed skip the steps below.
  6. Modify the values of the properties by running the changeHostProperties tool. For more information, see Application server - changing the host name or TCP/IP ports.
  7. Restart the WebSphere Application Server if you do not need to perform the RDBMS changes. To perform the RDBMS changes, see Reporting the changed host name or IP address of the workstation where you installed the RDBMS.
  8. Propagate the changes to the interfaces as follows:
    Address of the master domain manager changes
    • On each fault-tolerant agent, dynamic agent, and standard agent you configured to connect to the comman command line, update the host parameter present in the "Attributes for CLI connections" section in the localopts file. Usually you have the host parameter defined in the localopts file of the workstations you use to submit predefined jobs and job streams (sbj and sbs commands).
    • On every command line client, update the host parameter present in the "Attributes for CLI connections" section in the localopts file.
    • On the Dynamic Workload Console update the engine connections.
    Address of the Dynamic Workload Console changes
    Notify all the users of the new web address.
