Test Xsockets tool in a Web browser

After you have completed manual updates to the configuration files, you are ready to test the Xsockets tool within a browser.

  1. To start the server instance, enter this command on a command line:
    STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(<server_name>)
    where <server_name> is the name of the server instance you created during Apache configuration.
    Note: This takes a while.
  2. Check on its status by issuing WRKACTJOB command from the command line interface. If all jobs with your server_name have SIGW status, then you can proceed to the next step.
  3. In a browser, enter the following URL:
     http://<system_name>:<port>/xsock/index
    where <system_name> and <port> are the server instance name and port number that you chose during Apache configuration.
  4. When prompted, enter your username and password for the server. The web client for Xsocket should appear.
