Configuring the server on a Microsoft Windows computer

The server is the component that processes service requests that are made from other components. After the server is installed, configure the server to accept service requests from the manager or the service interface.

Before you configure the server:
  1. Configure the first workstation with the configuration program PR0CNFG.EXE on a Microsoft Windows computer.
  2. Install InfoSphere® Optim™ web applications on an application server and run the configuration manager to set the configuration manager database location.

To configure the server on a Microsoft Windows computer:

  1. Run the server settings program PR0ASAP.EXE. The program is in install_folder\rt\BIN, where install_folder is the installation folder for InfoSphere Optim components. For example, the server settings program is located by default in C:\IBM\InfoSphere\Optim\rt\BIN.
  2. Click Configuration to run the configuration program PR0CNFG.EXE.
  3. In the configuration program, click Tasks > Access Existing Optim Directory and complete the wizard.
  4. Edit the server settings as appropriate and click Apply. In particular, review and edit the following information.
    • General tab
      • Review Temporary Work Directory and edit as appropriate.
      • Review Data Directory and edit as appropriate.
    • Connection tab
      • Click Merge Current User to merge the connection settings from the current user account with the connection settings on the server.
      • Verify that passwords are set for all the entries in the list.
    • Startup tab
      • Set Start How to start as a service.
      • Set Service Logon to use a local system account.
      • Set Start When to manual, click Start Service, and set Start When to automatic.
    • Endpoints tab
      • Set the port number on which the server is to listen for Remote Procedure Call (RPC) connections from clients.
      • Click Update Product Configuration Files, select Update for each product configuration file that you want to update with the endpoint settings on the Endpoints tab, and click the Update button.
    • HTTP Connection tab
      • Set the port number on which the server is to communicate with the manager and the connection manager. To communicate with other components over an HTTPS connection, select Enable SSL communication and set the HTTPS port, keystore, and truststore to use.
      • Set the location of the connection manager and the user ID and password of an account with a user role of ocmadmin or admin in Connection Manager
  5. Click Configuration to run the configuration program PR0CNFG.EXE.
  6. Click Tasks > Enable/Disable this Machine as an Optim Server and complete the wizard.
