Refer to the Enabling the Multi-Channel Server Manager function topic in the Mobile Portal Accelerator Information Center for the location of the CLI command and the procedure to enable the CLI support.

The AgentServlet section of the web.xml file configures the MCS Server Manager. The servlet is automatically loaded on startup.

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>AgentServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.volantis.mcs.management.agent.servlet.AgentServlet</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>enabled</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>port</param-name>
    <param-value>8888</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>password</param-name>
    <param-value>password</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>host</param-name>
    <param-value>localhost</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

The Server Manager is disabled by default. The port and password and host attributes in the mcs-agent element must be matched in the command line. If the host attribute is absent, you do not need to specify a host value on the command line.
