    if(timeZoneOffSet < 0){
        timeZoneOffSet = -1 * timeZoneOffSet;
    }
    timeZoneOffSet = timeZoneOffSet * 60000;
    timeZone.setRawOffset(timeZoneOffSet);

Delete the Web server definition in a standalone application server

The uninstaller program for the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server does not delete Web server definitions. However, you can delete a Web server definition from admin console OR by using the following wsadmin commands:

$AdminTask deleteServer { -serverName webserver1 -nodeName WebserverHostName-node_node }
$AdminTask removeUnmanagedNode { -nodeName WebserverHostName-node_node }
$AdminConfig save

Ex:
$AdminTask deleteServer { -serverName webserver1 -nodeName webserver1_node}
$AdminTask removeUnmanagedNode { -nodeName webserver1_node}
$AdminConfig save

Enabling trace for WSAdmin Tool

1. Enable tracing on the wsadmin tool. To do this, edit the WC_profiledir /properties/wsadmin.properties file. You must set the com.ibm.ws.scripting.traceString property to the correct trace specification. By default this line is commented out; be sure to remove the comment character (#) when you set the desired trace specification. The wsadmin client's trace file is WC_profiledir /logs/wsadmin.traceout.
2. Restart server1
3. Try to use wsadmin tool to manually export the EAR.
4. After the exception was thrown, collect the trace WC_profiledir/logs/wsadmin.traceout.

Change the port number to desired port number and save.

Start the listener.

Run the following statement in the SQL prompt as sys dba.
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER='(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host-name)(PORT = 1522))';

Check the status of listener, it should pick up your service name.

SOAP request Timeout

In wsadmin.traceout, the exception was thrown:org.apache.soap.SOAPException: [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Read timed out; targetException=java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out]"
follows:
---------------------------
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConnectorException: ADMC0009E: The system failed to make the SOAP RPC call: invokeat com.ibm.ws.management.connector.soap.SOAPConnectorClient.invokeTemplate(SOAPConnectorClient.java:642)at com.ibm.ws.management.connector.soap.SOAPConnectorClient.invoke(SOAPConnectorClient.java:512)at com.ibm.ws.management.connector.soap.SOAPConnectorClient.invoke(SOAPConnectorClient.java:332)
----------------------------
SocketTimeoutException was possibly thrown because the SOAP timeout was not be long enough, if the exporting of the ear takes longer than the value specified by the SOAP timeout, it would fail.The SOAP timeout parameter was specified in \opt\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\FairPrice\properties\soap.client.props, as following in your environment:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SOAP Request Timeout #
# - timeout (specified in seconds [default 180], 0 implies no timeout)#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout=180
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I have following suggestion to resolve the problem:
1. Chanage com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout to 0 or a larger value (e.g. 3600)
2. Restart server1

Export fix while Applying APAR

Find exportEar.jacl under $Commerce_installDIR/config/deployment/scripts. Make a backup.
2. Change
$WCSHelper exportApplication $AppName $AppPath
to
$AdminApp export $AppName $AppPath
3. Launch UPDI and retry the APAR deployment

Creating Cookie in a Session

The ViewCommandContext offers the getResponse() method which can be used to gain access to the HttpServletResponse, from where you can add the cookies.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v6r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.commerce.api.doc/com/ibm/commerce/command/ViewCommandContext.html

For example:


if ( commandContext instanceof com.ibm.commerce.command.ViewCommandContext ) {
 com.ibm.commerce.command.ViewCommandContext v = (com.ibm.commerce.command.ViewCommandContext)commandContext;
 javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response = (javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)v.getResponse();
 javax.servlet.http.Cookie myCookie = new javax.servlet.http.Cookie("name","value");
 response.addCookie(myCookie);
}
