Installation of the WebSphere make sure the following zip files exists and extract the zip files.

• agent.installer.win32.x86_64_1.8.5
• sdk.repo.803.java8.win
• was.9000.nd.quickstart
• was.repo.9000.java8_part1
• was.repo.9000.java8_part2
• was.repo.9000.java8_part3
• was.repo.9000.wct
• WAS_ND_V9.0_MP_ML

install the installation manager from the file agent.installer.win32_x86_64.1.8.5

in the installation manager, it's required to add the unzipped files above to the repository, for the java part1, part2 and part3, they should be grouped and unzipped into one folder

and then install the WebSphere and also the Customization Toolbox

once, the WebSphere application server have been installed, it is required to create the profile.

Use WebSphere Customization Toolbox to create the profile

if cell is selected to created, Dmgr and AppSrv01 server profiles will be created.

normally, the node agent and the cell/server will be added as services to start.

manually start and stop the services:

• Dmgr/bin/startManager
• Dmgr/bin/stopManager
• AppSrv01/bin/startServer server1
• AppSrv01/bin/stopServer server1
• AppSrv01/bin/startNode
• AppSrv01/bin/stopNode

“start node” is to start the node agent which is the agent to help communication between the dmgr and the server

“start manager” is to start the deployment manager

“start server” is really to start the core websphere server which is the node

dmgr is the deployment manager in which the administrative console helps to provide web interface to manage the configuration across cells and servers

Further Action: apply patch fix of the WebSphere
