Server.xml for WAS

Question

I am looking for a configuration file in websphere 8.5.1 which holds all the server settings like datasources, buses, queues etc. I am aware of server.xml which is present for every server instance at cell level but it does not have all the settings. Please help me with some suggestion. I am looking for this file as I want to configure a maven integration test with websphere8.5.1.

So, in order to run these tests I would need some file to get the configurations from. Basically i am trying to replicate a maven integration test with glassfish where domain.xml was used in the maven integration script pom.xml to configure all the resources.

Answer 1

For WebSphere "full Profile" (as opposed to "Liberty Profile"), there is no single file. All that information is spread across many files.

Answer 2

The information on datasources will be in resource.xml. However, there is a resources.xml file at every scope ie at cell level , cluster level, node level and JVM level. So based on where datasource is defined the correct resource.xml can be used. Sib configuration will be created in the PROFILE_HOME/config/cells//buses

VG, opinions are my own and not those of my employer

Answer 3

There is a PropertiesBasedConfiguration command group from WAS 7 onwards which can let you extract your config to a single file but there are some limitations too.

You can check below links to get more info on same:
