1.

Find out Which versions are running

For WAS:
AIX
/bin/versionInfo.sh
Solaries/Linux
/bin/versionInfo.sh
Windows
/bin/versionInfo.bat
For IHS:
AIX
/bin/httpd -v
Solaries/Linux
/bin/httpd -v
Windows
/bin/apache -v
other:
Java JDK:
UNIX
./java -version
Windows
./java -version
2.Find out what process are running
Unix:
basic --------->
ps -ef | grep -i java
Solaris --------->
/usr/ucb/ps -auxWw
AIX ---------->
/usr/bin/ps -elf
Other process:
ps -ef | grep java | grep dmgr
This command will filter dmgr process in java.
Windows:
TaskManager--------->Applications------------->process
c:/>net start
c:/>net start "IBM HTTP Server"
c:/>net stop "IBM HTTP Server"
3.Find out which operating system version is running:
AIX
-------------------> oslevel (or) uname -a
solaris/Linux
-------------------> uname -a
Windows
-------------------> ver (or) winver
4.Find out hardware configuration:
AIX
-------------------> lsattr -E -l sys0 -a r
solaris
-------------------> ptrconf | grep -i memory
Windows
-------------------> winver
Linux
-------------------> dmesg
5.Find out contents of files like jar, zip:
UNIX
--------------------> ls -l

windows
--------------------> dir
6.Shutting and rebooting:
AIX
-------------------> /usr/sbin/shutdown -Fr
solaris
-------------------> /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -go -i6
Linux
-------------------> /sbin/shutdown -r now (reboot)
/sbin/shutdown -h now (not reboot)
Windows
-------------------> start---->Shutdown
7.List out all open ports, listening ports,routing tables etc:
netstat
options:
netstat -nr
-n means "list in IP address"
-r means "prints routing table"
netstat -a
-a means "lists all open ports"
netstat -l
-l means "lists all the listening ports"
8.Something about "ls" command:
ls -ltra
-l means "long listing formats"
-t means "sort by modification time"
-r means "reverse order by sorting"
-a means "all files including ones starting
with dot(.).
ls -ltrS
-s means "Sort by size".

Backing up deployment manager (dmgr) profile

configuration in WebSphere Application Server 8.5 on
windows
Follow the step to back up deployment manager (dmgr) profile
configuration in WebSphere Application Server 8.5 on windows:
If u want to watch installation process click on below link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=795B-STRnzg
(or)

Note:
Before completing this task, U must read about some topics like
Why we take profile back up
When we used profile back up.... etc.
1.First check the dmgr status. Is it running or not by using serverStatus.bat
command.
Ex:
serverStatus.bat -all

2.We can get dmgr profile back up from 's bin folder and dmgr's bin folder.
3.We can get dmgr profile back up
1. when dmgr is Started status.
2. when dmgr is Stopped status.
4.Now let us start to complete this task.
5.Now I will take back up of dmgr configuration file from 's bin folder.

6.Just use backupConfig.bat command to take back up file.

ex:
/bin>backupConfig.bat -profileName Dmgr01
7.U will get one zip file under bin folder. It is back up file of dmgr
configuration.

8.That's it......
9.By default dmgr is stopped automatically when u take back up of dmgr
configuration. U can take back up without stopping of dmgr. Just read and
practice of the syntax.
Syntax:

backupConfig [backup_file] [-nostop] [-quiet][-logfile ]

[-replacelog][-trace][-username ] [-password ]
[-profileName ] [-help]
