Deploying TAFJ Application

This section shows the steps required to deploy TAFJ.

Creating WebSphere Variables

Two WebSphere variables are required for the TAFJ application. TAFJ_HOME points to the TAFJ home directory. T24_MODELBANK_SHAREDLIB points to the Model Bank JAR file.

Procedure

1. Select scope as server.
2. Click Environment > WebSphere variables > New.
   1. Name: TAFJ_HOME
   2. Value: The full path to your TAFJ_HOME folder



3. Click OK and save changes to master configuration.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 with the following details:
   1. Name: T24_MODELBANK_SHAREDLIB
   2. Value: The full path to your MODELBANK_HOME folder where you find the ModelBank.jar file.

      

5. Update the tafj.properties file in %TAFJ_HOME%/conf under the key temn.tafj.directory.precompile. This must point to the model bank JAR file. For example,

temn.tafj.directory.precompile = /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/T24/ModelBank.jar

Creating Shared Libraries

Procedure

1. Select scope as server.
2. Click Environment > Shared Libraries > New.

3. Click OK and save changes to master configuration.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 with the following details:
