Setting up InterChange Server Express
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:
Starting System Manager
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 Tools > System Manager.
Registering InterChange Server Express
with 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 default installed server name is QWBIDFT44.
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 test servers.
- Type the User Name and password and select the Save User ID and Password check
box. This is the same password that was configured on the RBAC
(Role-Based Access Control) that you configured during installation.
- 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.
Connecting to InterChange Server Express
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:
- From 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.
Changing the InterChange Server Express password
InterChange Server Express is protected by the password
that was configured on the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) screen
that you configured during installation. However, if you want to
change the password later for security reasons, you can do so after
setting up the system.
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:
- From 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.
