Installing iSeries™ Access for Web on the iSeries server does not make it available for use. To use iSeries Access for Web, it must be configured in the Web application server environment.
If you are upgrading iSeries Access for Web from a previous release, still configure it to enable the new functions.
iSeries Access for Web provides commands to perform and manage the configuration on the system. These commands must be used to perform actions such as configuring, starting, ending, and removing the iSeries Access for Web configuration within the Web application server.
Both CL and script commands are provided. The CL commands are installed to the library QIWA2. The script commands are installed to /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/install and can be used within the QShell environment.
The iSeries Access for Web CL commands are:
The iSeries Access for Web script commands are:
When using the configuration commands for a WebSphere® application server instance, the application server instance must be running when the configuration commands are invoked. If using the ASF Tomcat application server, it is recommended that the application server instance is not running when the configuration commands are invoked. Also, the remove command must be run while the application server instance used to run iSeries Access for Web still exists. If the application server instance needs to be deleted, run the remove command first.
Providing different types of commands gives you the flexibility to manage iSeries Access for Web using the interface you are most comfortable with. The CL and script commands perform identical functions, they are just invoked differently. The parameters are also identical, but are input differently.
There are multiple ways to access help for CL commands. Enter the command name on the command line and press F1. Alternatively, enter the command name and press F4 to prompt the command, then move the cursor to any field and press F1 for help on that field.
To get help on a script command, specify the -? parameter. For example, start a QShell session by running the command STRQSH. Then enter the command /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/install/cfgaccweb2 -?
If you are not familiar with the Web serving environment and need to create an HTTP and Web application server, or if you want to create a new Web environment for iSeries Access for Web, examples are available to walk you through the process.
If you are familiar with the Web serving environment and already have HTTP and Web application servers created and ready for use, examples are available that show you how to invoke the iSeries Access for Web commands and what to input into the commands.
