Create a new remote instance

A remote instance contains configuration files and log files for these functions:

• Configure a remote HTTP topology
  In a remote HTTP configuration, the HTTP server and the application server run on separate machines or logical partitions. For more information, see Configure remote HTTP.

• Running client applications
  The application client runtime allows you to run J2EE and Java client applications from the iSeries Qshell environment. For more information see, Application clients.

To create a new remote instance, run the crtreminst script from Qshell the command line. This script creates all new server directories and sets up the correct authorities. To run this script, your iSeries user profile must have *ALLOBJ authority.

1. On the OS/400 command line, run the STRQSH (Start Qshell) command.

2. On the Qshell command line, use the cd command to change to the directory that contains the script:

   cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/Base/bin

3. Run the crtreminst script:

   crtreminst -instance instance

   where instance is the name of the remote instance. For more information on the crtreminst script and additional parameters, see The crtreminst script.

Example

In this example, a remote instance named rmtinst is created.

crtreminst -instance rmtinst
