WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server, Version 7.1

Launching the Service Policy Manager console

The Service Policy Manager (SPM) console provides a graphical interface for creating, viewing, modifying, and deleting entities like requesters, services, subscriptions, and policies.

Before you begin

Install the SPM console on the deployment manager.

Because the SPM console communicates with the SPM runtime component, the SPM runtime component must be up and running.

About this task
Note: If you are using the SPM console with the Firefox browser, Firefox version 3.0 is strongly recommended.

To use the SPM console, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the console.
    1. Open a browser and navigate to the following URL: https://host_name:port/spm/console.
      Where:
      • host_name is the fully qualified host name of the server where the application or the network deployment manager is deployed.
      • port is the secured port used to access the console. The default port is 9043.
      Note: The default unsecured port is 9060. If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.
    2. Enter an administrator user ID and password.
    3. Click Log in.
  2. In the Runtime Connection window, specify the instance of the Service Policy Manager runtime component to which you want to connect.
    1. From the list, select the URL for the SPM runtime instance. If the runtime instance is not listed, select the text box and type a URL. The list displays URLs for the three most recent connections.
    2. Enter a user name and password for establishing the connection. These credentials are used for connecting to the SPM runtime instance. They are not necessarily the same credentials you used to log in to the console.
    3. Optional: Select a Connection Timeout value. This value determines how long the SPM console will wait for a response from the runtime instance before terminating the connection.
    4. Click Connect.
  3. In the main console window, click the portlet you want to manage, for example Requester Administration or Policy Administration. Information about managing the portlets is found in the portion of this information center titled Using the features of the Service Policy Manager.
