Alain Del Valle from the WebSphere Application Server L2 support team created this video to answer the question “How do I change my WebSphere SSL configuration to use protocol TLsv1.2 for WebSphere Application Server?”.

Yesterday i start to format my old Samsung RF511 laptop. I restore the Windows 7 from Samsung recovery utility. Windows 7 was outdated and i try to update to Windows 10.
The update hangs on 99% . I leave the laptop turned on overnight and this morning it was on 99%. I google a bit and found some solutions for the problem like disable antivirus, administrator permissions etc.
I start the process again, recovery from Samsung utility, but this time i start the Windows update to get some updates for Windows 7.
It was a good decision but with a big headache :-). Windows update looks for updates forever and not stop to search. The solution for this problem was WSUS Offline.
I ran WSUS offline and update the Windows 7 and after several reboots i start the update to Windows 10 with success.
Five years ago IBM announced the first class of Champions. I was on that list.

WebSphere® Application Server V9.0, with its traditional and Liberty run times, continues to offer industry-leading, production-ready, standards-based Java™ EE 7 compliant architecture.
Highlights of Version 9.0 include:
- Certification to the Java EE 7 Web Profile and Java EE 7 Full Platform for WebSphere Application Server traditional, which provides assurance that applications leverage standards-compliant programming models. WebSphere Liberty was certified to Java EE 7 Web Profile and Full Platform in June, 2015.
- Ease of connecting existing on-premises applications with Bluemix® services, which include IBM Watson™ cognitive for optimal business outcomes.
- Enhanced support for creating, documenting, and discovering APIs, and also integrating with API platforms, such as IBM API Connect™.
- Significant improvements in software delivery lifecycle times through seamless integration into DevOps workflows. This enables continuous delivery and removes cross-team dependencies for deployment.
- Accelerated pace of development and deployment by taking advantage of container technology that includes IBM® Container Services and Docker container with support for Docker Data Center. This enables seamless deployment of WebSphere applications to best meet business needs.
- Increased flexibility to deploy WebSphere Application Server workloads with speed and agility on Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft™ Azure, and Openshift, in addition to IBM Bluemix.
- New WebSphere Application Server on Bluemix, single-tenant offering, which provides an option for deploying WebSphere Application Server applications on an isolated, single-tenant hardware.
- New option to enable VMware customers to quickly provision new or scale existing workloads to the IBM Cloud. This enables clients who start locally and scale globally with cloud capabilities to scale more easily and also comply with data residency and other regulatory mandates.
- Updated WebSphere Extreme Scale that provides ease-of-use enhancements for caching to help improve response times for the most demanding applications and dramatically speed configurations.
- Use of Liberty App Accelerator to provide a quick start development of Java microservices. Spring Boot, Watson™ services, and other technologies can be used with Liberty App Accelerator to easily deploy projects to Bluemix.
- Best practices for creating new Java microservices by using Game On!, an exemplar application, which helps explore microservices concepts.
WebSphere Application Server V9.0 continues to offer the leading, open-standards-based application foundation for traditional workloads and also modern applications that tend to be delivered as services. It enables accelerated delivery of innovative applications with unmatched operational efficiency, reliability, administration, security, and control.
When you setup a lab machine you will need this 3 command lines to disable iptables (firewall) on linux.
# service iptables save
# service iptables stop
# chkconfig iptables off
“The goal of this white paper is to explain the various administration and configuration tools offered by IBM WebSphere Portal8.5. Learn about which tool to use for
which task and about the new capabilities of WebSphere Portal 8.5, and understand differences from previous versions of WebSphere Portal. We take you through exercises for
each tool so you can learn hands-on how to use them.”
I now CentOS is not supported. For several years i use CentOS without problemas with IBM Software. The information bellow is the list of packages to install on CentOS and run WebSphere Portal and Db2 on the same machine. This is a Lab machine it’s like all in one box.

“WebSphere Liberty is the next generation application server. Liberty and Eclipse make a great local development environment for developing Java EE applications. To develop Java EE applications to deploy to Liberty, you’re going to need a Liberty development environment. You’ll also need an integrated development environment (IDE) for editing your code. While any Java EE IDE will work, the Eclipse IDE is one of the best, if for no other reason than because IBM has developed plugins for Eclipse for developing Liberty applications and for working with Bluemix.”
Since 1997 i work with Notes/Domino. In that time i receive every quarter a set of CD’s with the Lotus KB on it.
Things have changed for the better, LNN was launched and i was able to replicate the LotusKB on daily basis, no more CD’s, no more delays.
I start to work with WebSphere, Portal and other IBM products in 2005 and the support is only from “google” and the software manuals were called Infocenters.
IBM changed again, in my opinion, not for the best, several manuals are only on wikis.
A few years ago IBM changed again to the Knowledge Center. I think it is a better version of the old Infocenter.
Today i was reading some iformation about Watson and a alert show a message “On May 29 the Knowledge Center will change for a new version….”
