To start the DCM, perform these steps:

  1. Start the *ADMIN instance of IBM HTTP Server for iSeries.

    You can start the *ADMIN server instance from the OS/400 command line or from iSeries Navigator:

    • From the OS/400 command line

      To start the *ADMIN instance from the OS/400 command line, type:

      STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ADMIN)

      and press Enter.

    • From iSeries Navigator

      iSeries Navigator is the graphical interface to the iSeries server. iSeries Navigator is part of the iSeries Access for Windows product.
