The Configuration Manager provides a graphical interface
for configuring a WebSphere Commerce instance.
Procedure
- Ensure server1 is started successfully before
modifying instance-specific properties in Configuration Manager. For
more information see Starting and stopping
WebSphere Commerce.
- Start the server by completing the following steps:
- Log in as root.
- Open a terminal window.
- Issue the following command:
xhost + host_name
where
host_name is the fully qualified
domain name of the system on which you want to run the Configuration
Manager.
Note: When starting the Configuration Manager over an X-client
such as Exceed, the xhost command must be issued from the console
terminal, while the other commands are issued from a terminal session
in the X-client. When using an X-client, host_name is
the fully-qualified domain name of the X-client system.
- Issue the following command:
su - wasuser_ID
where
wasuser_ID is the non-root user
ID created before installing WebSphere Commerce. The default WebSphere
Application Server user name is
wasuser.
- Issue the following commands:
export DISPLAY=host_name:0.0
cd WC_installdir/bin
./config_server.sh
where
host_name is the fully qualified
domain name of the system on which you want to run the Configuration
Manager.
Notes:
- To ensure that the Configuration Manager server and Client are
secure, you can use the -protocol SSL command line option.
- Do not close the terminal window you entered the config_server.sh
command in or the Configuration Manager server will stop.
- Do not run the Configuration Manager server as a background process
- this is a potential security risk.
- Do not leave the Configuration Manager server running unless there
is a client connected - this a potential security risk.
- Start the client by completing the following tasks:
- Open another terminal window.
- Issue the following command:
xhost + host_name
where
host_name is the fully qualified
domain name of the system on which you want to run the Configuration
Manager.
- Issue the following command:
su - wasuser_ID
where
wasuser_ID is the non-root user
ID created before installing WebSphere Commerce. The default WebSphere
Application Server user name is
wasuser.
- Issue the following commands:
export DISPLAY=host_name:0.0
cd WC_installdir/bin
./config_client.sh[-protocol SSL]
where
host_name is the fully qualified
host name of the system from which you want to access the Configuration
Manager.
Note: To ensure that the Configuration Manager server and
client are secure, you can use the [-protocol SSL]
command
line option. If this the [-protocol SSL]
option is
used, both the client and the server must use it.
- In the Configuration Authentication window, enter the Configuration
Manager user ID and password and click OK.
