To start WebSphere Partner Gateway:

the console:
Unsecure:

Secure:
https://<hostname>.<domain>:58443/console
Where <hostname> and <domain> are the name and location of the computer hosting the Community
Console component.
Notes:
- These URLs assume the default port numbers are used. If you
changed the default port numbers, replace the default numbers with
the values you specified.
- The Community Console requires cookie support to be turned on
to maintain session information. No personal information is stored
in the cookie, and it expires when the browser is closed.

Enter a new password, then enter the new password a second time
in the Verify field.

Console's initial entry window.
You have now logged into WebSphere Partner Gateway. See the next
section, Testing
your installation for a way to test
your installation. Also see the Getting Started guide for

Starting
the Help system
For the help system to function, the Help system server
must be running. By default, the Help system is installed on the
same server as the Console; however, you can specify a different
server for the Help system during the Console installation.
You can confirm the help system location by checking the value
of the ibm.bcg.help.host property in the bcg_console.properties
file, located in {INSTALL DIR}/console/lib/config/.
To start the Help system:
- Change to the general WebSphere Partner Gateway user by entering:
su - bcguser
- Run the following script:
{INSTALL DIR}/bin/bcgStartHelp.sh
To stop the Help system:
- Change to the general WebSphere Partner Gateway user by entering:
su - bcguser
- Run the following script:
{INSTALL DIR}/bin/bcgStopHelp.sh
