Parameters Examples Error messages |
The Configure iSeries Access for Web (CFGACCWEB2) command is used to configure iSeries Access for Web for the following web serving environments:
Before iSeries Access for Web can be used, it must be configured using this command.
Input parameters are conditional based on the value specified for the Web application server type (APPSVRTYPE) parameter.
This command will use the input configuration parameters to add iSeries Access for Web servlet or portlet configuration information to the web application server.
If multiple web application servers are configured and running on the iSeries server, iSeries Access for Web can be configured to run within each of those web application servers.
When configuring iSeries Access for Web for multiple web application servers, the new configuration can be created based on an existing configuration. The new configuration can share user-generated data with other configurations or a copy of the existing user data can be made for the new configuration.
This command will create a directory structure for user-generated data. User data will be stored to the following locations, depending on the value specified for the Web application server type (APPSVRTYPE) parameter:
When the command runs status information will be displayed indicating what the command is processing. As the command runs, detailed status and error information will also be logged to stream file /QIBM/UserData/Access/Web2/logs/cmds.log.
After the command completes, the web application server may have to be ended and restarted. The iSeries Access for Web configuration will need to be started before it can be accessed.
