Before you begin


Procedure

  1. Do one of the following tasks:

    • Using the non-root user, start a command line session.

    • Start a command prompt session.

    • To start the WebSphere Commerce Information Center, issue one of the following commands:

      • WC_INSTALL/bin/startHelp.bat [port]

        The WebSphere Commerce Information Center can also be started and stopped from the Services panel by starting or stopping the following service: IBM WC 7.0 Help Server

        If you start the WebSphere Commerce Information Center from the Services panel, you cannot change the port the WebSphere Commerce Information Center uses. The WebSphere Commerce Information Center will use port 8001.

        To use a different port for the WebSphere Commerce Information Center, start the information center using the startHelp utility.

      Where port is an optional parameter. If you do not specify the port number, the WebSphere Commerce Information Center uses port 8001.

      • WC_INSTALL/bin/stopHelp.sh

      • WC_INSTALL/bin/stopHelp.bat
