WebSphere Liberty was introduced into WebSphere Application Server V8.5, originally referred to as the WebSphere Liberty Profile, with the same version numbering scheme as the rest of WAS.
#DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DATASTAGE 7.5 AND 8.5 SOFTWARE#
Īlthough the versioning scheme x.1 and x.5 would usually indicate a minor release in the software industry, WebSphere v6.1 and v5.1 are major releases, just like WebSphere v8.5 and v3.5. In the first beta versions, WebSphere had been called Servlet Express. IBM has shipped several versions and editions of WebSphere Application Server. Version history This table is derived from the IBM Knowledge Center: Programming model APIs and specifications and the WebSphere product lifecycle dates WebSphere versionĦ (until 17.0.0.2), 7, 7.1, 8 and 11 (since 19.0.0.1) Ħ (until 8.5.5.13), 7, 7.1 (since 8.5.5.2) and 8 (since 8.5.5.9) Ħ, 7, 7.1 (since 8.5.5.2) and 8 (since 8.5.5.5) Many IBM products (such as IBM InfoSphere DataStage) use WebSphere Application Server as the base platform for their infrastructure. However, starting with v6.1, there can be multiple security domains and administrative and application security can be separate. Originally, all nodes of the cell were in a single domain for management as well as application security.
#DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DATASTAGE 7.5 AND 8.5 MANUAL#
For this reason, it was not advisable to run the application server / node agent processes with root privileges, and starting with v6, security configuration defaulted out of the box to a secure state (even if this meant that enabling desired functions required manual changing of the defaults). This could be used to read / write to an arbitrary file on that remote node. For example, in earlier versions of the management console, there was an option that was available to specify the location of a log file on a remote node. Given the distributed install, and given also that management of the entire cell required management of local effects (such as deployment, logging configuration, etc), the overall effect was that WAS security could often override local security if not configured properly. Over the product lifetime, the implementation of these configuration details went from files, to database-based (around v3.5), and back again to files (around v5). The configuration information for the entire cell (how many nodes there are, what applications are deployed to each, how the applications are configured, session management and details of other resources, etc) are tracked in XML configuration files that are distributed throughout the cell to every node. Management of all the instances could be done from a management node - called the Deployment Manager - within the cell, and deployment of applications - including the ability to perform rolling updates - could be pushed out to a subset of the cell nodes. The "traditional" (as opposed to the Liberty variant) WebSphere Application Server platform is architected as a distributed computing platform that could be installed on multiple operating system instances, collectively referred to as a WebSphere cell.

It uses port 9060 for connection as the default administration port and port 9080 as the default website publication port. It works with a number of Web servers including Apache HTTP Server, Netscape Enterprise Server, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), IBM HTTP Server for i5/OS, IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, and IBM HTTP Server for AIX/ Linux/ Microsoft Windows/ Solaris. Platform exploitation, to the extent it takes place, is done below the open standard specification line. Beginning with Version 6.1 and now into Version 9.0, the open standard specifications are aligned and common across all the platforms. It runs on the following platforms: Windows, AIX, Linux, Solaris, IBM i and z/OS.

WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is built using open standards such as Java EE, XML, and Web Services.
