To open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, do the following:

  1. Start the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator by doing one of the following:
    • If you have WebSphere Commerce installed on your machine, or on a client machine on the same network as the WebSphere Commerce machine, access the following Web address in your browser:
      https://host_name:8000/accelerator
      where host_name is the fully qualified HTTP host name of your WebSphere Commerce Server.
    • WebSphere Commerce Studio If you have WebSphere Commerce Studio installed and want to open WebSphere Commerce Accelerator from this machine, do the following:
      1. Ensure you have started WebSphere Commerce within WebSphere Commerce Studio.
      2. Access the following Web address in your browser:
        https://host_name/webapp/wcs/tools/servlet/ToolsLogon?XMLFile=common.mcLogon
        where host_name is the fully qualified HTTP host name of your WebSphere Commerce Studio machine.

  2. Log onto the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator as follows:
    1. From the Logon page, type your WebSphere Commerce user name and password. The Select Store Information page displays. 
      Note: If only one store, one language, and no fulfillment center is defined, then the Select Store Information page does not display. You can go directly from the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator logon page to the home page.
    2. From the Name drop-down list on the Select Store and Language page, select the name of the store. If you are authorized to work with a single store, the store name is pre-selected.
    3. From the Language drop-down list, select the language in which you want to administer the store. If you are authorized to work with a single language, the language is pre-selected.
    4. If you are assigned a role with fulfillment duties, from the Fulfillment center drop-down list, select the name of the fulfillment center associated with the store.
    5. Click OK. The WebSphere Commerce Accelerator home page displays. Select the menu and menu option you want to work with. If you do not see the menu or menu option, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.
