After you have installed Deploy and the IBM WebSphere plugin, log in to Deploy and follow these instructions to:

Discovery is the process of scanning your environment and creating configuration items (CIs) in the Deploy repository based on the configurations that are found. Discovery allows you to easily set up your infrastructure. However, the discovered CIs may not always be completed, as some CIs contain properties that cannot be automatically discovered, such as passwords. You must enter these properties manually.

Deploy does not allow the creation or discovery of multiple CIs with the same name, and considers them as duplicates. However, Websphere allows the creation of such resources with the same name, as long as they are of different types.

You can extend the IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) plugin through Deploy's plugin API type system and using custom, user-defined Python scripts.

You can extend the IBM WebSphere MQ (WMQ) plugin using the Deploy plugin API type system. And because the WMQ plugin is built on top of the Generic plugin, you can also add support for new types using Generic plugin patterns.

The IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) plugin adds capability for managing deployments and resources on an existing WebSphere application server. It offers support for deploying and undeploying application artifacts, datasources, JMS resources, and other Java EE resources and WAS configurations.

The Deploy WebSphere Liberty profile server (WLP) plugin adds capability for managing deployments and resources on Liberty profile server. It works out of the box for deploying/upgrading/undeploying application artifacts, features, and resources like datasources, libraries and filesets.

The Deploy IBM WebSphere MQ (WMQ) plugin can be used to manage resources on a WebSphere MQ environment. The plugin can deploy and undeploy local queues and alias queues on a queue manager, and can be extended to support the management of other resources in a WebSphere MQ environment.

You can use the Deploy IBM WebSphere Process Server (WPS) plugin to manage deployments and resources on an existing WebSphere Process Server server. The plugin provides supports deploying and undeploying applications (EAR files) and can be extended to support more deployment options or management of new artifacts and resources on WPS.

The Deploy WebSphere Application Server (WAS) plugin uses the wsadmin tool to perform tasks. When Deploy starts wsadmin on a server for the first time, you must interactively accept the dmgr certificate. Deploy cannot do that, so it will hang if you do not accept the certificate. This is an example of the output that appears in the step log:

Until the WAS plugin 9.8.x, application updates were performed by undeploying the previous application and then deploying the newer one. However, as of version 10.0.0, the WAS plugin provides you with distinct update strategies to undeploy, deploy or update an application.
