Installation WebSphere

Install on WebSphere

• WebSphere Version 8.5.5.7
• Start the WebSphere server using the Windows/Linux start menu or using the command line: For example
  Windows: c:\WebSphere61\AppServer\bin\startserver server1
  Linux:<WebSphere-Home>/AppServer/bin/startServer.sh server1
• Open the Administrative Console through the graphical user interface or use the URL http://localhost:9045/ibm/console (when accessing the server remotely, specify the machine´s hostname rather than of localhost; the given port is the default for the first profile, at installation it is specified by WC_adminhost_secure).
• Enter your user ID and Password
• Navigate to: Servers -> Server Types -> WebSphere application servers -> server1 -> Java and Process Management -> Process definition -> Java Virtual Machine
• In the text field Generic JVM arguments add: 
  Windows: -Xbootclasspath/p:C:\inspectit\agent\inspectit-agent.jar -javaagent:C:\inspectit\agent\inspectit-agent.jar -Dinspectit.repository=[REPOSIOTRY_IP]:[REPOSITORY_PORT] -Dinspectit.agent.name=[AGENT_DISPLAY_NAME]
  Linux:-Xbootclasspath/p:<PATH_TO_INSPECTIT>/inspectit-agent.jar -javaagent:<PATH_TO_INSPECTIT>/inspectit-agent.jar -Dinspectit.repository=[REPOSIOTRY_IP]:[REPOSITORY_PORT] -Dinspectit.agent.name=[AGENT_DISPLAY_NAME]
• Apply the changes, save the configuration, and restart the server
  
  

Configure Java 2 Security

To use the inspectit-agent.jar file inside your WebSphere environment, the jar file must be given appropriate privileges.

For an individual application server, you have to change the server.policy (<WebSphere-Home>/AppServer/profiles/<AppServer>/properties/server.policy) file:

grant codeBase "file:<PATH_TO_INSPECTIT>/agent/inspectit-agent.jar" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

For all application servers,  you have to change the java.policy (<WebSphere-Home>/AppServer/java/jre/lib/security/java.policy) file:

grant codeBase "file:<PATH_TO_INSPECTIT>/agent/inspectit-agent.jar" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

• Restart the server
