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 configured to the Web application server (WebSphere® or ASF Tomcat).
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, starting, ending, and removing the iSeries Access for Web configuration within the Web application server.
Both CL and script commands are provided. 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: Configure the iSeries Access for Web application server.
- STRACCWEB2: Start the iSeries Access for Web application server.
- ENDACCWEB2: End the running iSeries Access for Web application server.
- RMVACCWEB2: Remove the iSeries Access for Web application server configuration.
The iSeries Access for Web script commands are:- cfgaccweb2: Configure the iSeries Access for Web application server.
- straccweb2: Start the iSeries Access for Web application server.
- endaccweb2: End the running iSeries Access for Web application server.
- rmvaccweb2: Remove the iSeries Access for Web application server configuration.
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.
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 Web serving environment and need to create an
HTTP and Web application server, or if you want to create a new Web environment
for iSeries Access
for Web, examples are available to walk you through the process.
If you are familiar with the Web serving environment and already have HTTP and Web application servers created 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.
