To use InterChange Server Express, you must register it with and connect to
it through System Manager. The following sections describe how to
perform these tasks:
System Manager is the GUI to InterChange Server Express and the
repository.
To start System Manager, select Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere
Business Integration Express > Toolset Express > Administrative >
System Manager.
System Manager can manage an instance of InterChange Server Express.
The instance in your environment must be registered with System
Manager. After you register the server, its name always appears in
System Manager, unless you remove it. The installed server name for
OS/400 is QWBIDFT.
To register an InterChange Server Express instance, follow these
steps:
- In System Manager, right-click InterChange Server Instances in
the left pane, then select Register Server.
- In the Register new server dialog box, browse for or enter the
name of the InterChange Server Express.
- Note:
- Select the Test Server check box if you intend to use the server
in an integrated test environment. An integrated test environment
communicates only with servers that are registered as local test
servers.
- Type the User Name and password and select the Save User ID and
Password check box. The default User Name is admin and
the password is null.
- Select OK.
The server name appears in the left pane of the System Manager
window. If it does not, expand the InterChange Server Instances
folder.
Verify that the registered InterChange Server Express is running by
connecting to it. To connect to an InterChange Server Express using
System Manager, follow these steps:
- In the System Manager, right-click the InterChange Server Express name in
the left pane and select Connect.
- Select OK on the Server User ID and Password confirmation
screen.
InterChange Server Express is protected by a password that only the ICS
Express administrator knows. The server is shipped with the default
password null, but if you want to change the password for security
reasons, you can do so after setting up the system.
- Attention:
- By default, the repository and Toolset Express use null as the
password. If you change the InterChange Server Express password, make
the same change in the shortcuts for the repository and the Toolset
Express.
To change an InterChange Server Express password, follow these steps:
- In System Manager, right-click the InterChange Server Express name in the
left pane, then select Change Password.
- Type the old password, the new password, reenter the new password to
confirm it, and then select OK.
For password changes to take effect, you must shut down InterChange Server
Express, then restart it by doing the following:
- In System Manager, right-click the running InterChange Server Express and
select Shut Down.
- On the Shut Down Server dialog box, either shut down the server
gracefully, after allowing it to finish current work, or shut it down
immediately, without performing cleanup.
Select Gracefully, then select OK.
Select Immediately only when you must shut down the server
without waiting.
- Restart InterChange Server Express by starting the Console and then
starting the server using the Console. Refer to Starting WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus for instructions.
- Connect to InterChange Server Express by right-clicking the InterChange
Server Express name in System Manager and then entering its password.
