Using the First Steps application
The First Steps application provides new WebSphere Partner
Gateway - Express users with an easy-to-use interface for becoming
acquainted with the WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express program.
First Steps can be accessed automatically, at the end of the WebSphere
Partner Gateway - Express installation process, or manually at any time.
The First Steps application window appears automatically if,
toward the end of installing WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express,
you selected Yes when asked if you wanted
to launch the First Steps application. You can also start First
Steps manually at any time from the Start menu (Windows) or the
Start Application shortcuts folder (Linux) by selecting IBM WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express > First Steps,
which opens the First Steps application window.
The First Steps application window offers the following options:

your Web browser to take you to the IBM WebSphere Partner Gateway
- Express library Web site where you can find and download documentation
for any edition of WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express, including
release notes and installation guides.

browser to open a page that provides a link to the installation
ReadMe file and directs you to the places within this book where
you can find starting, configuring, testing and using WebSphere
Partner Gateway - Express.
- Start Server, which starts the WebSphere
Partner Gateway - Express server. (You must start the server before
you can launch the console to log on.)

Partner Gateway - Express console within your Web browser and enables
you to log on to WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express.
