To create or configure a WebSphere Commerce or a WebSphere Commerce Payments instance, you should use the Configuration Manager.
To open WebSphere Commerce Configuration Manager on Windows, do the following:
- Ensure that the IBM WC Configuration Manager server process is running by
doing the following:
- Open the Computer Management console by selecting Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management.
- Expand Services and Applications and select Services.
- Check that the IBM WC Configuration Manager server service has a status of Started.
To prevent potential security problems, you should also ensure that the IBM WC Configuration Manager server is set for manual startup, not automatic.
- Select Start > IBM WebSphere Commerce > Configuration.
- In the Configuration Authentication window, enter the Configuration Manager user ID and password and click OK.
