Starting the administrative console
We use the WebSphere administrative console to define the data source and install the applications. When using a server from RAD v7.5, you can start the administrative console by right-clicking the server and selecting Administration Æ Run administrative console. However, we recommend to perform the server configuration in an external browser to simulate a real deployment environment:
| To start the administrative console, open a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox) and use this URL: |
http://<hostname>:<port>/ibm/console
http://localhost:9060/ibm/console | 160; | 160; | 160; | 160; | 160; | st environment
http://localhost:9062>/ibm/console | 160; | 160; | 160; | 160; | 160;alternate profile
|
| For a stand-alone server, you can also select Start Æ Programs Æ IBM WebSphere Æ Application Server V6 Æ Profiles Æ default Æ Start administrative console. |
|
| Click Login (without security, no user ID is required). |
