6.6.0.3a: Starting and stopping the Web administrative console

The Web console is available on machines containing WebSphere administrative servers. You can use a Web browser to access it remotely from machines that do not contain an administrative server.

Starting the console

To start the Web administrative console:

  1. Ensure that the Web server is running on the machine containing the console.
  2. Ensure the default application server is also running.
  3. In a Web browser, type:
    http://your.server.name/admin
    where your.server.name is localhost if the Web console is on the local machine. On Windows 2000, it has been found that localhost is not always recognized. In such a case, use the actual host name.

    If the console is on a remote machine, enter the short or fully qualified host name for the machine containing the administrative server.

  4. From the HTML page displayed, select XML Web Administration Tool.
  5. Wait for the console to load into the browser.

Stopping the console

To stop the console, simply close the browser. Make sure you submitted your changes and either exported them to XML or committed them. Otherwise, they will be lost when you close the browser. See 6.6.0.3 for more information.
