Configure iSeries Access for Web in a portal environment

Installing iSeries™ Access for Web to the iSeries server does not make it available for use. To use iSeries Access for Web, it must be deployed to the portal environment.

Note: If you are upgrading iSeries Access for Web from a previous release, you must still configure iSeries Access for Web to enable the new functions.

Configuration commands

iSeries Access for Web provides commands to perform and manage the configuration on the server. These commands must be used to perform actions such as configuring and removing the iSeries Access for Web configuration within the portal environment.

Both CL and script commands are provided. Providing different types of commands gives you the flexibility to manage iSeries Access for Web using the interface you are most comfortable with. The CL and script commands perform identical functions, they are just invoked differently. The parameters are also identical, but are input differently.

The CL commands are installed to the library QIWA2. The script commands are installed to /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/install and can be used within the QShell environment.

The iSeries Access for Web CL commands are:
  • CFGACCWEB2: Deploys the iSeries Access for Web portal application.
  • RMVACCWEB2: Removes the iSeries Access for Web configuration.
The iSeries Access for Web script commands are:
  • cfgaccweb2: Deploys the iSeries Access for Web portal application.
  • rmvaccweb2: Removes the iSeries Access for Web configuration.

Command help

There are multiple ways to access help for CL commands. Enter the command name on the command line and press F1. Alternatively, enter the command name and press F4 to prompt the command, then move the cursor to any field and press F1 for help on that field.

To get help on a script command, specify the -? parameter. For example, start a QShell session by running the command STRQSH, then enter the command /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/install/cfgaccweb2 -?

Configuration scenarios

If you are not familiar with the portal environment and need to create an HTTP and Web application server and deploy a portal environment, or if you want to create a new portal environment for iSeries Access for Web, examples are available to walk you through the process.

If you are familiar with the portal environment and already have HTTP and Web application servers created and a portal environment deployed and ready for use, examples are available that show you how to invoke the iSeries Access for Web commands and what to input into the commands.
