1. Open a console window, navigate to the directory that contains the EAR file, and make a new directory named cfusion-ear:

   md cfusion-ear (mkdir cfusion-ear on UNIX)

2. Change to the cfusion-ear directory and expand the cfusion.ear file with the jar command:

   cd cfusion-ear 
   java_home/bin/jar -xvf ../cfusion.ear

   This expands the cfusion.ear file into cfusion.war and rds.war (rds.war is not included if you specified a context root of / when you ran the installation wizard).

3. In cfusion-ear, make a new directory named cfusion-war.

   md cfusion-war (mkdir cfusion-war on UNIX)

4. Change to the cfusion-war directory and expand the cfusion.war file with the jar command:

   cd cfusion-war 
   java_root/bin/jar -xvf ../cfusion.war

   This expands the cfusion.war file.

5. (If rds.war exists) Go up one level to cfusion-ear, make a new directory named rds-war.

   cd .. 
   md rds-war (mkdir rds-war on UNIX)

6. (If rds.war exists) Change to the rds-war directory and expand rds.war with the jar command:

   cd rds-war 
   java_root/bin/jar -xvf ../rds.war

   This expands rds.war.

7. Go up one level to the cfusion-ear file, and delete the cfusion.war and rds.war files:

   cd .. 
   del cfusion.war (rm cfusion.war on UNIX) 
   del rds.war (rm rds.war on UNIX)

8. Open the cfusion-ear/META-INF/application.xml file in a text editor.

9. Change the web-uri element from cfusion.war to cfusion-war (or the name of the directory that contains the expanded cfusion.war file). Change the web-uri element for rds.war to rds-war. A directory name in the web-uri element cannot contain a dot.

10. Save the application.xml file.

    On WebSphere ND, deploying multiple application server clones on a single computer is commonly referred to as vertical clustering. Vertical clustering leverages the computer's processing power to obtain a higher level of efficiency; however, if there is total computer failure, no application server instances are available. The applications deployed in a vertical cluster share the same file system. Deploying the multiple application servers on multiple computers is commonly referred as horizontal clustering; it provides the highest level of failover and scaling. The steps you perform to deploy ColdFusion 9 in a clustered environment are the same, regardless of clustering method, because the WebSphere Network Deployment Manager manages the cluster.

    To use LiveCycle Data Services ES, you must be running WebSphere 5.1.1 Business Integration.

1. Start the IBM WebSphere Application Server, if it is not running.

2. Open the IBM WebSphere Administrative Console, if it is not running.

1. Do the following to ensure that ColdFusion sandbox security secures Java access to files and network resources:

   1. On the WebSphere Administrative Console Security > Secure Administration panel, ensure that the Java 2 Security option is selected.

   2. Click Apply and then click Save.

2. Add the following lines to the Standard Properties That Can Be Read By Anyone section of the JVM's security policy file, java.policy. (For example, this file can be located in C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\lib\security\java.policy):

   grant { 
   permission java.security.AllPermission; 
   };

This process is required to support the following features that use binaries that are specific to your operating system:

• CFX tags written in C++

• Microsoft Access driver with Unicode support

  You do this by configuring the search paths to find the required binary files, which are located in the cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib directory.

1. Make a backup copy of the setupCmdLine.bat file, located in the websphere_root\AppServer\bin directory.

2. Open the original file for editing and add the following on a single line before the line that starts with SET WAS_CLASSPATH:

   SET CF_APPS_PATH=cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib

   Replace cf_webapp_root with the path to your web application directory; for example, enter the following:

   SET CF_APPS_PATH=%WAS_HOME%\installedApps\%WAS_CELL%\ Adobe_ColdFusion_9.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib;%WAS_HOME%\installedApps\%WAS_CELL%\ Adobe_ColdFusion_9.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\flex\jars

3. Add the CF_APPS_PATH variable to the WAS_CLASSPATH by appending the following text to the path statement:

   ;%CF_APPS_PATH%

   The WAS_CLASSPATH line should look similar to the following:

   SET WAS_CLASSPATH=%WAS_HOME%/properties;%WAS_HOME%/lib/bootstrap.jar;%WAS_HOME%/lib/j2ee.jar;%WAS_HOME%/lib/lmproxy.jar;%WAS_HOME%/lib/urlprotocols.jar;%CF_APPS_PATH%

4. Save the file.

5. Add the full path to the cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib directory to the WAS_PATH variable in the setupCmdLine.bat file. The WAS_PATH line should look similar to the following:

   SET WAS_PATH=%WAS_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin;%PATH%;C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\bin;C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\java\bin;C:/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere MQ/WEMPS\bin;%CF_APPS_PATH%;

6. Save the file.

You enable Component Object Model (COM) support in Windows after installing ColdFusion 9 so that you can use the cfreport tag with Crystal Reports. COM support is not required for the ColdFusion Report Builder or any reports that you create with the ColdFusion reporting feature.

1. Make a backup copy of the setupCmdLine.bat file, which is located in the websphere_root\AppServer\bin directory.

2. Open the original file and add the following on a single line:

   SET PATH=%PATH%;cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin;cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin\international

   Replace cf_webapp_root with the path to your web application root directory, for example:

   SET PATH=%PATH%;%WAS_HOME%\installedApps\%WAS_CELL%\AdobeColdFusion9.ear\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin;%WAS_HOME%\installedApps\%WAS_CELL%\Adobe_ColdFusion_9.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin\international

3. Save the file.

   In some cases, you might also have to do the following to register the Microsoft Type viewer:

4. Open a console window and go to the cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib directory.

5. Register TypeViewer.dll by issuing the following command:

   regsvr32 TypeViewer.dll

This process is required to support CFX tags written in C++ that use binaries that are specific to your operating system.

You must configure the search paths to find the required binary files, which are located in the cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib directory.

1. Make a backup copy of the startServer.sh file, which is located in the websphere_root/AppServer/bin directory.

   The path specifications in these instructions assume that you deployed ColdFusion using the standard application name (Adobe ColdFusion 9) and did not rename the application.

2. Open the original file, and in the PLATFORM case block, just above the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH line, add the following entry on a single, long line:

   On Solaris:

   CFUSION_APPS_PATH=cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

   Replace cf_webapp_root with the path to your web application root directory; for example:

   CF_APPS_PATH="$WAS_HOME"/installedApps/"$WAS_CELL"/ 
       Adobe_ColdFusion_9.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

   On Linux:

   CF_APPS_PATH=cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

   Replace cf_webapp_root with the path to your web application root directory; for example:

   CF_APPS_PATH="$WAS_HOME"/installedApps/"$WAS_CELL"/ Adobe_ColdFusion_9.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

3. Append the CF_APPS_PATH environment variable to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH entry. The resulting line should be similar to the following:

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$WAS_LIBPATH":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CF_APPS_PATH

4. Save the file and restart your WebSphere Application Server.

1. Open the WebSphere Administrative Console.

2. In the left navigation bar, select Node_name > Servers > Application Servers.

3. Select your J2EE application server; for example, Server1.

4. Under Java and Process Management, select Process Definition.

5. On the Process Definition page, select Java Virtual Machine in the Additional Properties box.

6. If you are running ColdFusion 9 on a system without a monitor, do the following:

   1. In the Additional Properties box at the bottom of the page, select Custom Properties.

   2. On the Custom Properties page, select New and add a system property, completing the fields as follows:

      Name java.awt.headless 
      Value true

7. Click OK.

8. Save the master configuration file.

For security reasons, Adobe recommends that you disable RDS on a production server. If you enable RDS when you install ColdFusion 9, you can disable it at a later time, as the following instructions describe.

If you disable RDS, the following ColdFusion 9 features do not work:

• The Browse Server button in the ColdFusion Administrator (for example, on the ColdFusion Mappings page)

• The Query Builder and charting in the ColdFusion Report Builder

To disable RDS on UNIX,

1. Stop ColdFusion.

2. In the WebSphere Administrative Console, select the Applications > Enterprise Applications panel, select the Adobe ColdFusion 9 application, and then click Stop.

3. Do the following in both the cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\web.xml and the websphere_root\AppServer\config\cells\NodeName\applications\cf_application_name.ear\ deployments\cf_application_name\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\web.xml files (or the equivalent paths in UNIX). For example, change the following files:

To disable RDS on Windows,

• 1. Back up the ColdFusion web module web.xml file (available in either C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps\MYNODE\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\web.xml or C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\config\cells\MYNODE\applications\cfusion.ear\deployments\Adobe ColdFusion 9\cfusion.war\ WEB-INF\web.xml).

  2. Open the original web.xml file for editing.

  3. Comment out the RDS Servlet definition, as follows:

     <!-- <servlet id="coldfusion_servlet_8789"> <servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name> <display-name>RDS Servlet</display-name><servlet-class>coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet</servlet-class> <init-param id="InitParam_103401311065856789"><param-name>servlet.class</param-name> <param-value>coldfusion.rds.RdsFrontEndServlet</param-value></init-param> </servlet> --> 

     The text in the servlet definition might vary.

  4. Comment out the RDS Servlet mapping, as the following example shows:

     <!-- 
     <servlet-mapping id="coldfusioon_mapping_9"> 
     <servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name> 
     <url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern> 
     </servlet-mapping> 
     -->

     The servlet-mapping id value might vary.

  5. Save the file.

     1. Restart the ColdFusion 9 application.

     2. If your ColdFusion 9 application context root is something other than /, disable or undeploy the RDS redirector web module by doing the following:

  6. In the WebSphere Administrative Console, select cell_name > Applications > Enterprise Applications.

  7. Stop the Adobe ColdFusion 9 application if it is running.

  8. Select Adobe ColdFusion 9 Application, select Manage Modules and then select the check box for ColdFusion RDS application, and then click Remove.

To enable web services, copy the tools.jar file from the websphere/appserver/java/lib directory to the cfusion/lib directory.

To apply application server configuration, restart the application server.

Ensure that the following settings and practices are in place before using WebSphere Application Server ND:

Event Gateway

Ensure that the startup mode of the Socket gateway instances is set to manual. In particular, do not set it to Automatic when using a vertical cluster. Select one of the instances in the vertical cluster and start the Socket gateway on that instance manually.

Session Replication

Either avoid ColdFusion-specific data types or serialize them to WDDX and store them in session scope as strings.

ColdFusion Administrator:

• In a vertical cluster environment, avoid concurrent changes to the same service.

• In a horizontal cluster environment, each server has its own ColdFusion Administrator. You must make changes once per server.

• In a vertical cluster environment, the ColdFusion Administrator scheduled tasks are scheduled on all servers.

Verity Server

Only one Verity Search Server can run on each server computer.

ColdFusion Verity licensing does not allow a ColdFusion cfsearch tag to search multiple Verity Search Server computers. For a horizontal cluster to interact with a central Verity Search Server, you must purchase K2 Enterprise from Verity.

Solr Server

Only one Solr Search Server can run on each server computer.

Compilation

Use precompiled classes and ensure that the Trusted Cache setting is enabled.
