The following are the steps required to do this:<br />

1. Install the Express <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong>.<br />

The installation will include the <strong>IBM</strong> Agent Controller which is used to enable<br />

communication between Studio Site Developer and Express <strong>Application</strong><br />

<strong>Server</strong>. The only indication you will see that the <strong>IBM</strong> Agent Controller is<br />

installed is the presence of the /RAC directory in the<br />

installation path, and on Windows, you will see a new service called <strong>IBM</strong><br />

Agent Controller.<br />

You will also need a file sharing mechanism, either a shared disk or FTP<br />

between the two servers so that the application files can be transferred to the<br />

server.<br />

2. Define the server and server configuration. This will identify the location of the<br />

server and its characteristics.<br />

3. Publish the enterprise application to the server. The application files will be<br />

copied or FTP’ed to the server location.<br />

4. Update the server configuration for application-specific values (variables, data<br />

sources, etc.)<br />

5. Start the server.<br />

6. Run the application.<br />

13.5.1 Defining the server to Studio Site Developer<br />

As we have seen from using the test environment, the first step to deployment is<br />

to define the server to Studio Site Developer. Defining a remote server (remote to<br />

Studio Site Developer, not necessarily on a remote system) is a little more<br />

involved than defining the test environment. Additional information, such as the<br />

location of the server, the remote server installation path, how to transfer the<br />

application and deployment information to the server, and how to access the<br />

HTTP port, is needed in order for Studio Site Developer to operate the server and<br />

to deploy applications to it.<br />

To define a remote Express <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong>:<br />

1. Right-click the <strong>Server</strong>s folder in the Navigator or <strong>Server</strong> Configuration view<br />

and select New -> <strong>Server</strong> and <strong>Server</strong> Configuration.<br />

2. Enter a server name and select the Express <strong>Server</strong> option under<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> Version 5.0, then enter a name for the server.<br />
