Configuring Environment Entries
After the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is installed, but before the Learning Management System
application is deployed, resources must be configured. There are two types of resources that apply to the Learning
Management System:
• environment entries
• JDBC data-sources
Configuration of these resources is done from the WebSphere Application Server’s Administrative Console. The
WAS Administrative Console is its administrative interface. To access the WebSphere Application Server
Administrative Console, launch an Internet browser and navigate to
http://was_server:9090/admin.
It is recommended that you save your work frequently when working with the WebSphere Application Server’s
Administrative Console. When you make a change, a message box will appear at the top of the right-hand frame,
prompting you to save your changes to the master configuration. Try to do this regularly.
Configuring an environment entry for the log file location
The Learning Management System uses an environment entry to configure the file-system path used to store
application log files. This section describes how to set up this environment entry using the WebSphere Application
Server’s Admin Console.
1. Create the Resource Environment Provider
a. Using the WebSphere Application Server’s Admin Console, expand the “Resources” section in the left-
hand navigation bar and select “Resource Environment Providers.”
b. Click “New” to begin configuring a new provider.
