I am very new to WebSphere. I have managed to install .war file successfully but application is not starting/running. I found it is depending on Environment settings and other parameters from log file.
Now I have a .car file which on import will complete all settings and my application will run without any issues.
Please help me how to import .car file into WebSphere.
This has been tested with Eclipse Mars 4.5.2 and IBM Websphere Application Server 8.5
Start your Websphere server using Eclipse or from command prompt.
Navigate to %WAS_INSTALL_DIR%\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\profile_name\bin.
Launch wsadmin batch script and login using your profile security credentials.
Use the following commands
$AdminTask importWasprofile {-archive c:\backup\was_restore.car}
$AdminConfig save
Further details can be found at:
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21207526
See details about importing car files here - ConfigArchiveOperations command.
If you exported whole profile, then to import use:
AdminTask.importWasprofile('[-archive c:/myCell.car]')
Instead of car files, you can consider also using property based configuration - Using properties files to manage system configuration

I use Karate as standalone JAR, and for writing scenarios I've installed Visual Source Code with the "karate-runner" plugin as IDE support.
I use an external jar for encryption treatments.
The trouble is that, when I execute a Karate scenario from Visual Source Code (for debuggig purpose), my external jar is not taken into account, and during execution, I get the message "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: GenerateSign" in the console.
I've no problem when I launch the scenario directly in command line like :
Karate.bat mytest.feature
With the content of karate.bat is :
java -cp karate.jar;Sign.jar;. com.intuit.karate.Main %*
So, how to configure the tools in order to execute my karate scenarios from VScode taking into account my external jar too?
Thanks a lot.
I suspect the problem is you haven't updated the "karateCli" property in your launch.json debug configuration. Can you try to update it including your additional jar file and try again.
EDIT
Based on what command line does work in your batch file you should update your "Karate Runner" extensions settings as shown below in the images.
For running tests from Codelens with "Run Karate Test(s)"
For running tests with VSCode debugger
Maybe you simply are on the wrong version. Dir you try 0.9.5 ?

I was trying to alter the logging that takes place with Pivotal tc Server Developer edition 3.0 and I found out that the java process that starts the server never reads the logging.properties file in catalina base.
I created a new Pivotal tc Server 3.0 with a new instance called diff-instance and added the bio profile. When it is finished a logging.properties file has been created in the /diff-instannce/conf folder. I started the server and stopped it and looked at the settings (F3 or open on the list of servers). It says:
configuration path:
option selected: Use tc Server installation (takes control of tc Server installation)
server path (catalina.base): /diff-instance
Then I stop the server and modify the logging.properties file and noticed that none of the changes I make to this logging.properties file seems to ever be reflected in the tc Server.
I brought in my swiss army knife the good old sysinternals tools (www.sysinternals.com) and started procmon. To my great surprise the file logging.properties file in the catalina.base conf folder is never read by the javaw.exe process (only the logging.properties in /jre/lib folder is read). That explains what I saw.
I have 3 important questions related to this:
Why is the logging.properties file never read?
Where is the method to customize the Pivotal tc Server developer edition documented? I looked at the "Getting started with Pivotal tc Server" at http://tcserver.docs.pivotal.io/index.html in the section "tc Runtime Instance Configuration Files" on page 29 and it says this file should be used. Also the "Pivotal tc Server Administration" has a whole section "Configuring Logging for tc Runtime" on page 50 that keeps on talking about this same file.
I know there is a lot of glue stuff between tc Server developer and STS. The whole thing about defining a new server and the options about kind of server locations to define as show below
are all very cool but where is the documentation for this stuff?
This page describes an older version of the tc server and how to change the logging. It also refers to the logging.properties file in catalina.base.
https://pubs.vmware.com/vfabric5/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vfabric.tc-server.2.6/admin/manual-logging.html
Did you try creating a tc server instance from the command line and alter the logging for that instance?
Were you able to get the logging working with previous versions of tc Server such as 2.9.x?
If that worked, but the logging for instance you're created via STS didn't work then I think you've uncovered a bug in Tc Server Eclipse integration code. I suspect that perhaps option for logging.properties file needs to be specified at the tc server instance creation time in the creation command somehow.
Please create a bug report for this issue here: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse (project: Spring Tool Suite, component: SERVER)
Actually, this was fixed by the STS group. See comment from Alex Boyko about the tc Server nightly update site http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/eclipse-integration-tcserver/nightly in JIRA STS-3998. In STS 3.6.3 if you select Help/Install new software and you paste this update site and select it you should be able to install a version of the tc Server integration in STS 3.6.3 that fixes this. This should be fixed in STS 3.6.4.
I am trying to add a New Server (WebSphere Application Server 7) to Eclipse (Kelper). I have just installed WebSphere Application Server 7 on the PC but have not changed any settings yet (default settings).
In Eclipse, after New Server -> WebSphere Application Server Settings it shows me the following:
As you can see the Profile name box is empty, with no choices in the drop down box. When I click Configure profiles... I see:
At this point I am stuck. I'm guessing that I already have a profile setup in websphere, but that maybe it doesn't have write permissions yet?
What do I have to do to get this server working in Eclipse?
Based on the second image looks like you dont have any profiles. Check if you have any profiles (folders) e.g. AppSrv01 in the C:\Program files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles.
If you have - it means that you dont have write permissions to that folder - try to run Eclipse as Administrator. Did you installed WebSphere with your user or Administrator? In general as a best practice you should avoid installing WebSphere in Program Files.
If you don't have - create it using for example Profile Management Tool - should be available in your Start menu.
You probably don't have rights, because the "Run Profile Management Tool" button should be enabled, if you would highlight WebSphere Runtime in upper table.
I have same issue.
If you install websphere in
C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles
instead of:
C:\Program files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles
Then it will solve lots of configuration problems related to access.
Hope it helps
If your C:\Program files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles dir is empty go to:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21442487
Download the attached zip and extract it to WebSphere's bin directory and run the bat/sh.
I'm sorry if this question annoys you. I've written an EJB-based application and now I want to deploy it as a single Exe file (not a War file). That means if that Exe file's executed, all related things such as the web server, the database server, ... will be automatically installed to enable my application run smoothly. The JIRA installer's a typical example (http://www.atlassian.com/try).
I've googled a lot but I can't find the right answer. Would you please tell me how I can achieve that?
Glassfish has a embedded Java ee container: http://embedded-glassfish.java.net That will allow you to embedd a Webserver and database into your app (infact a complete Java EE container).
The next step would be to embedd a a java-runtime and bundle it with above as an exe. I havnt tried that. But start with the above step and see if it is enough, then start by reading about this: Embed a JRE in a Windows executable?
I want to install my tomcat v7.0.12 as a service on my Windows 2008 Server.
On the tomcat page I found this tutorial. But there isn't a service.bat file in my installation dir.
In the service overview of WS2008 it isn't possible easily create a new service like new->service ...
To Start Tomcat7 Service :
Open cmd, go to bin directory within "Apache Tomcat 7" folder. You will see some this like C:\..\bin>
Enter above command to start the service: C:\..\bin>service.bat install. The service will get started now.
Enter above command to start tomcat7w monitory service. If you have issue with starting the tomcat7 service then remove the service with command : C:\..\bin>tomcat7 //DS//Tomcat7
Now the service will no longer exist. Try the install command again, now the service will get installed and started: C:\..\bin>tomcat7w \\MS\tomcat7w
You will see the tomcat 7 icon in the system tray. Now, the tomcat7 service and tomcat7w will start automatically when the windows get start.
You can find the solution here!
Install the service named 'Tomcat7'
C:\>Tomcat\bin\service.bat install
There is a 2nd optional parameter that lets you specify the name of the service, as displayed in Windows services.
Install the service named 'MyTomcatService'
C:\>Tomcat\bin\service.bat install MyTomcatService
Looks like now they have the bat in the zip as well
note that you can use windows sc command to do more
e.g.
sc config tomcat7 start= auto
yes the space before auto is NEEDED
I just had the same issue and could only install tomcat7 as a serivce using the "32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer" version of tomcat:
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
I have spent a couple of hours looking for the magic configuration to get Tomcat 7 running as a service on Windows Server 2008... no luck.
I do have a solution though.
My install of Tomcat 7 works just fine if I just jump into a console window and run...
C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.26\bin\start.bat
At this point another console window pops up and tails the logs
(tail meaning show the server logs as they happen).
SOLUTION
Run the start.bat file as a Scheduled Task.
Start Menu > Accessories > System Tools > Task Scheduler
In the Actions Window: Create Basic Task...
Name the task something like "Start Tomcat 7" or something that makes sense a year from now.
Click Next >
Trigger should be set to "When the computer starts"
Click Next >
Action should be set to "Start a program"
Click Next >
Program/script: should be set to the location of the startup.bat file.
Click Next >
Click Finish
IF YOUR SERVER IS NOT BEING USED: Reboot your server to test this functionality
There are a lot of answers here, but many overlook a few points. I ran into the same issue and it was likely due to a combination of being a complete neophyte when it comes to tomcat. Even more I am rather new to web servers in general. I consider myself somewhat proficient user of windows, but I guess not proficient enough. In particular I don't work with services too much.
I did not have a startup.bat or any bat files. I only downloaded the 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer. The bin that is created for that download is small - only 4 files. My colleagues were surprised that I did not have a catalina.bat etc... and I was too. Only the below four files in the bin. And no %CATALINA_HOME% or %TOMCAT_HOME% etc...
bootstrap.jar
tomcat-juli.jar
Tomcat7.exe
Tomcat7w.exe
With this setup I had some frustrations as setting parameters is done via the gui widget - very helpful I might add.
So nearly all the answers I have perused were not immediately applicable as many said, "go to bin and issue the startup.bat file" I am a neophyte but not so much to not be able to look into the bin and start such a file it is existed!
For my simple purposes (again remember that I am a neophyte at tomcat and even web servers) all I wanted to do was to be able to startup and shutdown the tomcat server from a cmd prompt window. Nothing too heavy duty. I am embarrassed to say how simple it is. It is probably evident to anyone with a shred of experience with services and such.
To Start server: <Tomcat Root>/bin>Tomcat7.exe start
To Stop server: <Tomcat Root>/bin>Tomcat7.exe stop
Found here - http://crunchify.com/how-to-start-stop-apache-tomcat-server-via-command-line-setup-as-windows-service/
I did not realize there was a separate download the 64-bit Windows zip file that has a tomcat server and all the standard array of cmd line tomcat management tools. This zip file has all the common startup/shutdown scripts, batch files for windows, including catalina.bat/.sh etc... Then all the above answers make sense and are rather trivial.
Remember I am a neophyte when it comes to tomcat and web servers. It appears these two downloads are somewhat mutually exclusive in the sense that if I download and install the 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer version and the 64-bit Windows zip file the startup.bat file in the 64-bit Windows zip file version will not run or interact with the 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer tomcat instance. But I am not sure about this point.
Edit service.bat – Swap two lines so that they appear in following order:
if not “%JAVA_HOME%“ == ““ goto got JdkHome
if not “%JRE_HOME%“ == ““ goto got JreHome
Open cmd and run command service.bat install
Open Services and find Apache Tomcat 7.0 Tomcat7. Right click and Properties. Change its startup type to Automatic (with delay).
Reboot machine to verify if the service started automatically
its done through service.bat file in apache tomcat7

install tomcat7 on windows
I had a similar problem, there isn't a service.bat in the zip version of tomcat that I downloaded ages ago.
I simply downloaded a new 64-bit Windows zip version of tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi and replaced my existing tomcat\bin folder with the one I just downloaded (Remember to keep a backup first!).
Start command prompt > navigate to the tomcat\bin directory > issue the command:
service.bat install
Hope that helps!
