To use InterChange Server, you must register it and connect to it through
System Manager. The following sections describe how to do this:
System Manager is the graphical user interface (GUI) to InterChange Server
and repository.
To start System Manager, follow these steps:
- Click Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere InterChange Server > IBM
WebSphere Business Integration Toolset > Administrative > System
Manager.
- In System Manager, click Window > Open Perspective > Other and
select System Manager from the Resource window. Click OK.
System Manager can manage one or more instances of InterChange
Server. Each instance in your environment must be registered with
System Manager. Once you register the server, its name always appears
in System Manager, unless you remove it.
To register an InterChange Server, follow these steps:
- In System Manager, right-click Server Instances in the left pane, then
select Register Server.
- On the Register Server dialog box, browse for or enter the name of the
server on which InterChange Server is installed. If you are unsure of
your server's name, you can find it at the bottom of the InterChange
Server command prompt window that opens when InterChange Server is
started.
- Note:
- Select the Local 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 userid/password check
box. The common User Name is admin and the password is
null.
- Click Finish.
The server name appears in the left pane of the System Manager
window. If it does not, expand the Server Instances folder.
Verify that the registered InterChange Server is running by connecting to
it. To connect to an InterChange Server using System Manager, follow
these steps:
- In the System Manager, right-click the InterChange Server name in the left
pane and click Connect.
- Click OK on the Server UserID and Password confirmation screen.
When booted for the first time, ICS starts with role-based access control
(RBAC) turned off.
With RBAC turned off , no username and password are required for booting
the ICS.
If you want to use ICS with RBAC turned on, it is recommended to turn RBAC
on immediately after installation.
For more information on RBAC, please refer to the InterChange Server
System Administration Guide.
For repository changes and password changes to take effect, you must shut
down InterChange Server, then restart it:
- In System Manager, right-click the running InterChange Server and click
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.
Click Gracefully, then click OK.
Select "Immediately, without cleanup" only when you must shut down
the server without waiting.
- Restart InterChange Server (Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere
InterChange Server > IBM WebSphere InterChange Server > IBM WebSphere
InterChange Server).
- Connect to InterChange Server by right-clicking the InterChange Server
name in System Manager and then entering its password.
