Running an application client from the command line
You can use the client run task to run an application client.
Before you begin
About this task
The wlp/bin directory
contains scripts that are called client and client.bat to
run client applications. The syntax of these scripts is as follows:
client action <client_name> [options]
Procedure
Use the following command to run the client: 
client run client_name

client.bat run client_name
where client_name is the name of the
client.Attention: If a default client exists,
it runs defaultClient. If a default client does not
exist, defaultClient is created, then runs (and likely
fails because there is no application that is configured.
