Click Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere InterChange Server > IBM
WebSphere InterChange Server > IBM WebSphere InterChange Server.
- Note:
- InterChange Server starts in production mode. To start InterChange
Server in design mode, append the -design argument to the end of
the command line in the IBM WebSphere InterChange Server shortcut. For
example:
C:\IBM\WebSphereICS\bin\start_server.bat InterChangeServer -design
A command window displays various messages. The message
InterChange Server Server_Name is ready
indicates that the server is running. When you register InterChange
Server (later in these instructions), you will use that server name.
- Tip:
-
To make the Command Prompt window
easier to read, right-click the title bar, then select Properties. In
the Layout tab, increase the height and width of the Window Size. In
the Colors tab, select a different color for the Screen Text. Click OK,
select "Modify shortcut which started this window," then click OK
again. The next time you open this Command Prompt window, the new
properties take effect.
If you changed the Destination for Logging parameter during installation,
the messages are logged to that location. The first time you run the
start command, InterChange Server creates the repository schema in the
database and launches InterChange Server. To populate the schema with
data, you load the repository, as described later in these
instructions.
- Important:
- If you are using InterChange Server in an internationalized environment and
are using SQL Server for your repository, confirm that all columns in the
repository schema that hold string data use the following internationalized
data types: nchar (for char), nvarchar
(for varchar), and ntext (for text)
