Deploying Unica Segment Central on WebSphere

You can deploy the Unica Segment Central application from a WAR file on the WebSphere® Application Server (WAS).

About this task

Note: EAR is not supported.
Consider the following points before you deploy Unica Segment Central on WebSphere:
  • Verify that your version of WebSphere® meets the requirements that are described in the Recommended Software Environments and Minimum System Requirements document, including any necessary fix packs or upgrades.
  • You use the WebSphere® Integrated Solutions console to configure your WebSphere® Application Server. The steps that follow provide guidance for setting specific controls.
Note: Different versions of WebSphere® Application Server present user interface controls in varying sequences and with alternative labels.

Complete the following steps to set up the environment for deploying Unica Segment Central:

Procedure

  1. Configure the JVM: On the Application servers > <server> > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine form, identify the Classpath then add the following entries as Generic JVM arguments, separated by a space:
    • -DSEGMENT_CENTRAL_HOME=<UNICA_HOME>\<Segment_Home>

      where <Unica_Home> is the path to the top-level HCL directory and <Segment_Home> is the path to the directory where you installed Unica Segment Central. Typically, this path is <UNICA_HOME>\Segment_Home.

    • For your installation to support non-ASCII characters, example for Portuguese or for locales that require multi-byte characters, add the following arguments to Generic JVM Arguments at the server level:
      -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
      -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8
    • set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -DUNICA_PLATFORM_CACHE_ENABLED=true"
  2. Set the JSP Compilation level in the WebSphere application server to 18.
