Configure WebSphere Application Server - Express for iSeries V5.1

Use these steps to configure iSeries™ Access for Web for WebSphere^® Application Server - Express for iSeries V5.1.

1. Sign on to your server.
2. Start the WebSphere subsystem in which you want iSeries Access for Web to run. Enter the server command STRSBS QASE51/QASE51.
3. Start the WebSphere application server in which you want 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(*WAS51EXP) WASINST(was_instance_name)
          APPSVR(app_svr)

   • To use the script command, run the server commands:

     STRQSH
     cd /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/install
     cfgaccweb2 -appsvrtype *WAS51EXP -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: If 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.
5. Return to the Web administration browser interface window that you minimized in step 3.g, then stop and restart the WebSphere Express application server.
6. Open your browser to http://<your_server_name>:port/webaccess/iWAMain. Be sure the case matches the example.
