For computers other than the one IBM® Control
Center was
installed on, you install the console by using a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
or Firefox.
About this task
Important: To access many IBM Control
Center user features without installing
files locally on your computer, you can use the IBM Control
Center web console. When you launch the
IBM Control
Center console from the launch page,
you might receive security warnings if Java 1.7 Update 51 or later is installed on your
computer.
Procedure
- Check with the administrator to ensure that the IBM Control
Center engine is running.
- Open the URL associated with the IBM Control
Center engine. The URL format is
https://hostname:port for a secure connection or
http://hostname:port for a non-secure connection. The hostname is the DNS name or
IP address where the engine is running and the port is the port number for the WebSphere® Application
Server. (The default secure web port is 58083. The
default non-secure web port is 58082.)
- Click the IBM Control
Center Console link
you want to use.
The IBM Control
Center components are
downloaded to your local computer. When all components are downloaded, a security warning informs
you that IBM Control
Center is requesting
unrestricted access to your computer.
- Click Start to continue to the IBM Control
Center console installation. A security
warning informs you that Java Webstart is requesting unrestricted access to your computer. This
access is necessary to install IBM Control
Center.
- Click Install.
When the IBM Control
Center console
installation is complete, create a shortcut for running the console from your desktop.
- Do one of the following steps:
- To create a shortcut on your desktop, click Yes.
- To finish the installation without creating a shortcut, click No.
- To defer creation of a shortcut, click Ask Later.
Attention: The Configure option in the shortcut creation window is not used for IBM Control
Center.
