The administrative console is a Web-based application that
runs on any browser supported by WebSphere® Application
Server. This topic describes how to start the administrative console
for the deployment manager.
Before you begin
This topic 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 topic 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 iSeries® 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 iSeries user profile. This user
ID is used only to track which users make changes to the deployment
manager configuration.
