Adding a service pack
Creating a duplicate configuration to edit
Once youve created a server configuration, you might find youd like to have a similar
one, but with some slight differences. Follow these steps to create a duplicate
configuration you can then edit:
1 Choose Enterprise|Configure Servers to display the Configure Servers dialog box.
2 Select the server configuration you would like to duplicate from the left pane.
3 Click the Copy button at the bottom of the left pane to display the Copy Server
wizard:
4 Specify the name you want to use to identify this server configuration in the Name
For This Server field.
5 Specify the server version in the Version For This Server field.
6 Click OK.
7 Select your new configuration in the left pane of the Configure Servers dialog box
and make the changes to the settings you need using the General and Custom
pages.
Copying a server configuration also creates copies of that servers tools. You could,
therefore, create a duplicate server configuration and modify just the servers tools as
the only difference between the two configurations. As another example, you could
have the copied configuration refer to a different home directory if you have slightly
different versions of that server installed. You can also delete a server configuration in
the Configure Servers dialog box.
Adding a service pack
If you want to add a service pack to your application server configuration, follow these
steps:
1 Choose Enterprise|Configure Servers.
2 Select your server from the list of servers in the pane on the left side of the dialog
box.
3 Click the General tab, then the Class tab, if it isnt already selected.
4 Click Add.
5 Navigate to the location of the service pack JAR file.
6 Click OK twice to close all dialog boxes.
