Opening the Configuration Manager on Windows

The Configuration Manager provides a graphical interface for configuring a WebSphere Commerce instance.

Before you begin

If you are modifying an existing WebSphere Commerce instance, ensure that the WebSphere Application Server management server (for example, server1 or dmgr) is started successfully. Ensure that it is running before you modify instance-specific properties in Configuration Manager. For more information about starting the server, see Starting and stopping WebSphere Commerce.

Procedure

Run WC_installdir/bin/config_server.bat to start the Configuration Manager server.
The server is started when you see the message "Bound in registry".
Note: If you are running the command from a command prompt, you might need to use the following syntax:
```
.\config_server.bat
```
Start the client by completing one of the following actions:
- Run the WC_installdir/bin/config_client.bat file.
  Note: If you are running the command from a command prompt, you might need to use the following syntax:
```
.\config_client.bat
```
- Search for Configuration Manager on your Windows machine and start the client by opening Configuration Manager.
In the Configuration Authentication window, enter the Configuration Manager user ID and password, and then click OK.
