The administrative console is a Web-based application that
runs on any browser supported by WebSphere® Application
Server. This article describes how to start the administrative console
for the deployment manager.
Before you begin
This article assumes that you have a running deployment
manager profile. See Verifying that the deployment manager is running on IBM i if you have not yet attempted
to start the deployment manager.
The browser-based administrative
console for WebSphere Application Server requires that
cookies be enabled in the browser. This article also describes how
to enable cookies.
About this task
Use this procedure to start the administrative console
on a workstation.
Procedure
- Open the following web page in your browser:
http://your.server.name:port/ibm/console
The your.server.name variable
is the host name of the IBM i server on which your deployment
manager is running. The port variable is the administrative
console port as noted in the ready message in the joblog of your application
server.
The administrative console port of the deployment manager
profile is 9060. For more information about the
ready message, see Verifying that the deployment manager is running on IBM i.
- When prompted, enter a user ID.
The administrative
console is displayed in the browser window.
The user ID does
not need to be an IBM i user profile. This user
ID is used only to track which users make changes to the deployment
manager configuration.
- Enable cookies for your web browser.
See
your browser documentation for help enabling cookies for other supported
web browsers.
Some browsers provide advanced settings so that
you can configure cookie settings separately for different domains,
such as http://mycompany.com. For help with advanced features, see
the documentation for your browser.
What to do next
Go to Verifying that nodes exist on IBM i to
continue the installation.
