Starting the administrative console for deployment managers on IBM i

The administrative console is a Web-based application that runs on any browser supported by WebSphere® Application Server. This topic describes how to start the administrative console for the deployment manager.

Before you begin

This topic assumes that you have a running deployment manager profile.

The browser-based administrative console for WebSphere Application Server requires that cookies be enabled in the browser. This topic also describes how to enable cookies.

About this task

Use this procedure to start the administrative console on a workstation.

Procedure

  1. Open the following Web page in your browser:
    http://your.server.name:port/ibm/console

    The your.server.name variable is the host name of the iSeries® server on which your deployment manager is running. The port variable is the administrative console port as noted in the ready message in the joblog of your application server.

    The administrative console port of the deployment manager profile is 9060.

  2. When prompted, enter a user ID.

    The administrative console is displayed in the browser window.

    The user ID does not need to be an iSeries user profile. This user ID is used only to track which users make changes to the deployment manager configuration.

  3. Enable cookies for your Web browser.

    1. Click Edit > Preferences.
    2. Click Advanced in the left pane.

What to do next

See your browser documentation for help enabling cookies for other supported Web browsers.

Some browsers provide advanced settings so that you can configure cookie settings separately for different domains, such as http://mycompany.com. For help with advanced features, see the documentation for your browser.

Go to Verifying that nodes exist on IBM i to continue the installation.
