RE: V5R3 Websphere application server not showing in admin

Is it possibly under a different tab?  At V5R3 you should find multiple
tabs under the "manage" tab. (at
http://yourservername.com:2001/HTTPAdmin )  You should see "All
Servers", "HTTP Servers", "Application Servers" and "ASF Tomcat
Servers."  Under "All Servers" you should see more tabs, with "HTTP
Servers", Application Servers" and "ASF Tomcat Servers" again.

If you are on the "HTTP Servers" tab you can't see the WAS Servers, and
if you are on the "Application Servers" tab you can't see the HTTP
servers.

If you are on a smaller box these may take some time to load.  Make sure
that your ADMIN jobs aren't thrashing in the system pool.  Also, I think
you need to have pop-ups enabled on your browser and I'm pretty sure
that only IE and Firefox are supported. (Maybe only IE.)

Let me know if this helps...

subject: V5R3 Websphere application server not showing in admin

I know very little about WAS, even though I configured it on our server.

  (I was following vendor directions.)  I set everything up on V5R2 then

recently upgraded to V5R3.  After putting on the latest group PTFs, 
everything was working fine.  I noticed, though, that the WAS instance 
no longer shows on the HTTP admin page.  I see the HTTP server instance 
there but not the WAS one.

Today it is not working, so I was going to follow the Windows method and

stop/start the service to see if it would fix itself.  I can open a PMR 
if no-one knows the answer off the top of their heads, and I might be 
able to stop/start from a command line.  I was a bit curious as to where

the HTTP admin server got the list of application servers to see if it 
were just corrupted somehow.

Thanks,
Sean Porterfield
