Configure WebSphere Application Server V5.1 for iSeries

Use this information to configure iSeries™ Access for Web for WebSphere® Application Server V5.1 for iSeries.

Note: WebSphere instances that are federated to the Network Deployment environment are not supported by iSeries Access for Web.

To configure iSeries Access for Web for WebSphere Application Server V5.1 for iSeries (Base and Network Deployment Editions), follow these steps:

  1. Sign on to your server.
  2. Start the WebSphere subsystem in which you want to configure iSeries Access for Web to run. Enter the server command STRSBS QEJBAS51/QEJBAS51.
  3. Start the WebSphere instance in which you want to configure iSeries Access for Web to run by following these steps:
    1. Run the server command STRTCPSVR *HTTP HTTPSVR(*ADMIN).
    2. Open your browser to http://<server_name>:2001.
    3. Select the IBM® Web Administration for iSeries link.
    4. Navigate to your HTTP server and start it if it is not already running.
    5. Navigate to your WebSphere Express application server and start it if it is not already running.
    6. Wait for the application server to show a status of running.
    7. Minimize the browser window. You will return to this window in a later step.
  4. Use the iSeries Access for Web CL or script configuration command.
    • To use the CL command, run this server command:

      QIWA2/CFGACCWEB2 APPSVRTYPE(*WAS51) WASINST(was_instance_name) APPSVR(app_svr)

    • To use the iSeries Access for Web script command, Run the server commands:

      STRQSH  
      cd /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/install  
      cfgaccweb2 -appsvrtype *WAS51 -wasinst was_instance_name -appsvr app_svr

    The configuration commands use these variables:
    was_instance_name
    The name of the WebSphere application server instance you are using.
    app_svr
    The name of the application sever within the instance being configured.
    For more information about either value, refer to the help text for the appropriate field.
    Migration Note: Start of changeIf you are already using iSeries Access for Web within another Web application server, refer to New Web application server considerations. This topic discusses additional CFGACCWEB2 command parameters that can be input to migrate user data from an existing configuration to this new configuration.End of change
  5. Return to the Web administration browser interface window that you minimized in step 3.g, then stop and restart the WebSphere application server.
  6. Open your browser to http://<your_server_name>:port/webaccess/iWAMain. Be sure the case matches the example.
The iSeries Access for Web main page opens.
Note: The first call of the iWAMain page might take a few minutes, but subsequent calls should not take as long.

Start of changeIn this example, only the CFGACCWEB2 command is used to configure iSeries Access for Web. For more information about using all the iSeries Access for Web CL commands, use the CL command finder. End of change
