Installing Web-based System Monitor

If you installed WebSphere Application Server Express 5.0.2, the installer will automatically install and configure Web-based System Monitor on WebSphere Application Server. The application server created by the installer is called ICSMonitor.

The installation of WebSphere Application Server Express 5.0.2 does not include a Web server.

Note:
If you do not have a Web server currently installed and would like to install one, you can download IBM HTTP Server for free from IBM's Web site.You will also need to install the Web server plugin for WebSphere Application Server Express. See the WebSphere Application Server Express documentation for more information.
Therefore when the installer installs Web-based System Monitor, Web-based System Monitor is configured to use a default port number, 7089. If you would like to use a different port number and you do not currently have a Web server installed, follow the procedures in this section to configure Web-based System Monitor to use a different port number.

If you have a Web server installed and you have also installed the WebSphere Application Server Express Web server plugin, you can run a script to install Web-based System Monitor. Follow the procedures in this section to install Web-based System Monitor using an installation script.

Installing and configuring Web-based System Monitor to use a Web server

To install Web-based System Monitor using the installation script:

  1. Run WebSphereItemSync/bin/CWDashboard.bat with the following parameters:
