Using Optim Manager from Optim Designer

Use Optim™ Manager from Optim Designer to publish and test data management services and Optim interoperability services. Using Optim Manager from Optim Designer is also known as Optim Manager in embedded mode.

Optim Manager is a web application that you can use to test services before publishing them to the registry. Optim Manager is displayed either in the internal browser provided by Optim Designer or in an external browser. You can select the browser that you want Optim Designer to use for Optim Manager by clicking Window > Preferences > General > Web Browser in Optim Designer.

Opening Optim Manager from Optim Designer

You can open Optim Manager by publishing or executing a service. You can also open Optim Manager by entering the following URL in a web browser: http://localhost:portnumber/console, where portnumber is the port number assigned to Optim Manager. The default port number is 60000.

If the browser displays a message about a page not found when you open Optim Manager, a port conflict may exist and you must change the Optim Manager port number.

Changing the Optim Manager port number

To change the port number, you must edit the following property in the eclipse.ini file located in the default InfoSphere® Data Architect installation directory:
-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.http.port=portnumber
where portnumber is the new Optim Manager port number. If Optim Designer is open, you must restart the application to apply the new port number.
