Starting the manager on an application server

To use the manager on an application server, you must first start the manager on its application server. After the manager is started on the application server, you can access the manager at any time.

Unless you use the manager with WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition in its default configuration, you must install and configure the manager before you can start the manager.

To start the manager on an application server:

  1. Start the application server. If the application server is set to start the manager web application automatically, then the manager is started with the application server. If you use the manager with WebSphere Application Server Community Edition in its default configuration, then complete the following step. In this step, shared_installation_directory is the installation directory that you specified for the manager.
    • Microsoft Windows computers: Click Start > All Programs > IBM InfoSphere > Optim > Start WAS-CE, or run the script shared_installation_directory\WebSphere\AppServerCommunityEdition\bin\startup.bat.
    • Linux or UNIX computers: Run the script shared_installation_directory/WebSphere/AppServerCommunityEdition/bin/startup.sh.
  2. If necessary, start the manager web application by using the application server console. If you use the manager with WebSphere Application Server Community Edition in its default configuration, then complete the following steps:
    1. Use a web browser to access and sign into the Administrative Console. The default location is at http://hostname:port/console/, where hostname is the host name or IP address of the WebSphere Application Server Community Edition computer and port is the port number. The default port number is 8080. Use user ID system and password manager to access the Administrative Console.
    2. Click Web App WARs.
    3. Click Start for the component with an URL of /optim.
To automate the starting of the manager after you restart the computer, configure the application server as a Windows service or Linux or UNIX daemon.
