Invoking
the Launchpad
To invoke the Launchpad, insert the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express OS/400 and i5/OS CD into your Windows-based computer.
The i5/OS System Information screen appears and prompts for the
OS/400 or i5/OS system name, userid, and password. Enter the information
and click OK.
For example:
Figure 1. OS/400 and i5/OS System Information screen for login information
Note:
Although the user interface is labeled "i5/OS System
Information," this interface also works with supported OS/400 systems.
The same holds true for other parts of the installation user interface
labeled "i5/OS" that you may see while installing this product.
The Launchpad Welcome screen appears. Buttons on the left side
of the Welcome screen allow quick selection of several tasks.
Figure 1 is an example of the Launchpad Welcome screen for WebSphere
Business Integration Server Express Plus. Note that the Launchpad
screens for WebSphere Business Integration Server Express differ
slightly from that of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express
Plus (shown) because the Launchpad for WebSphere Business Integration
Server Express Plus includes a button labeled Install Capacity Pack.
The items that can be installed from this button are not available
with WebSphere Business Integration Server Express.
