After you have either created new monitors or decided to use the default
monitors, you are ready to log on to System Monitor to monitor the
system.
Before you begin:
- Start InterChange Server Express on the machine being monitored.
- Make sure System Monitor and the application server are installed.
For installation instructions, see WebSphere Business Integration Server
Express Installation Guide.
- Start the application server.
- Obtain the user name and password necessary for logging on to System
Monitor. The user name and password are the same as those used when
logging on to InterChange Server Express.
Perform the following steps to log on to System Monitor:
- In a Web browser, navigate to the URL for System Monitor. The URL
you use for System Monitor depends on whether you are using WebSphere
Application Server, WebSphere Application Server Express, or Tomcat.
Refer to the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Installation
Guide for additional information about setting up System Monitor to work
with WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Application Server Express, or
Tomcat.
- If System Monitor is installed as part of WebSphere Application Server
Express installation, the URL is:
http://HostName:7089/ICSMonitor
where HostName is the host name of the Web server
machine.
- If you used the installation script with a "y" in the 5th
parameter, the URL is:
http://HostName/ICSMonitor
where HostName is the host name of the Web server
machine.
- If you used the installation script with a "n" in the 5th
parameter and a port number in the 6th parameter, the URL is:
http://HostName:nnnn/ICSMonitor
where HostName is the host name of the Web server machine and
nnnn is the port number.
- If you are using Tomcat and did not change the port number, the URL
is:
http://HostName:8080/ICSMonitor
where HostName is the host name of the Web server
machine.
The WebSphere InterChange Server Express System Monitor login window
appears (see Figure 10).

- Type the server name, user name, and password for the InterChange Server
Express instance that you want to monitor, then click Login.
System Monitor appears (see Figure 11).
