Each edition is optimized for various requirements from development to production and small to enterprise business. You can compare them to choose the best suited for your business.

  1. WebSphere Application Server – Liberty Core:
WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Core is a lightweight Liberty-based edition. With WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core, you can rapidly build and deliver web applications that do not require the full Java™ EE stack.

WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core is based on the developer-friendly WebSphere Application Server Liberty. By using WebSphere Application Server Liberty, you can create applications corresponding to the Java EE6 Web Profile specification. You can quickly develop and deploy Web Profile-centric applications so that your business can respond quickly to enterprise and market needs. The capabilities that WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core provides are a subset of the capabilities that are provided in the WebSphere Application Server Liberty and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Liberty editions.

WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core offers you the following benefits:
  • A lightweight edition, which contains the subset of Liberty that corresponds to the Java EE Web Profile specification.
  • Excellent development and production runtime environments for web applications.
  • A smaller footprint for faster download and startup, giving more development time and faster time to deployment.
  • Ease of packaging applications for deployment, including configuration.
  • The ability to run applications that are written for WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core on WebSphere Application Server traditional and Liberty.
  • The ability to extend the Liberty capabilities by adding custom features that use a product extension System Programming Interface (SPI).
2.WebSphere Application Server – Express
    Express license is limited  to 2 CPU's. It supports only 2 machine installation.
  • We can not create clusters 
  • These are only for developing and testing
  • In this we don't need of DMGR. It is a standalone. 
3.WebSphere Application Server – Base
        Base license is unlimited.
  • We can not create clusters .
4.WebSphere Application Server – Network Deployment

IBM WebSphere - Synchronize a node (syncNode)

Image
  IBM WebSphere - Synchronize a node (syncNode) Before we get into synchronization, let's talk about nodes and the master configuration. The master configuration is a collection of XML files that contain all sorts of information about a cell, such as the security settings and the applications in the cell. A node contains one or more WebSphere application servers. When a managed nodes is federated into the dmgr, the node needs to be synchronized with the master configuration so that the node is using the dmgr configuration. The synchronization is always from Dmgr to Nodes and it never happens vise versa. If you made any changes from the node side it will be cleared during next synchronization process. Let's consider a common example. You make some change in the WebSphere admin console, and you are presented wit the Save option. Selecting save updates the master configuration. This will cause the node to be out of sync with the master configuration. To know if a node is synchroni...

Backup and Restore of WebSphere Application Server configuration

                      Backup & Restore of IBM WebSphere Application Server Configuration Backup configuration in  WebSphere One of the major activity that we can perform in Websphere as a pre-requisites when ever we intended to perform any major configuration changes like Fix Pack upgrade ,Interim Fix upgrade, JDK upgrade etc. For any mission critical application, taking frequent backups is essential for recovering from severe errors. In the case of WebSphere Application Server, setting up of the application server environment is a demanding task and it is not an easy to repeat the setup if something bad happens. So, its wise to take backups whenever we make the first setup or when we do configuration changes. Depending upon our diskspace availability two types of backups is possible . 1) Full Backup A full backup can be performed by running the ./backupConfig command from the<WAS-ROOT>/bin di...
