Authors: Dr. Hans-Joachim Pross
Build basis: Websphere Application Server 8.5.5,

A small guide, how to check IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 Installation for the IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management Plattfrom. This guide is part of the Configuring Enterprise CLM Reverse Proxies guide.

Prerequisites and Assumptions

For the following the WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 bits are assumed to be installed.

First Steps Console

Start the First steps console with Start / IBM WebSphere / IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.5 / Profiles / <!JazzTeamServer> / First steps.

Check if the server is running. If it is not running, the Stop the server link will be a Start the server link.
Click on Installation verification to run the verification. An output window will be opened.

Although there are 2 warnings reported, the installation is ok.
After the test you can close the output window.

Check default Application

Now open a browser and enter as address “http://localhost:9080/snoop”. If you haven't done the Installation verification before, you might need to start the application server manually.
The result should look similar to the screen shot below.

Now try the same with the fully qualified host name http://hajo-clm4.local.int:9080/snoop.
