Most of the configuration of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS is done using the Administrative Console. To run the Administrative Console, the default server must be started since the Administrative Console is installed as a web application on this server (see Starting and Stopping WebSphere Servers for more information on starting servers).
To open the Administrative Console, a web browser should be pointed at:
http://<Your WebSphere host>:<protocol_http_port>/ibm/console
Where:
<Your WebSphere host> identifies the host name or IP address where your WebSphere Application Server for z/OS system is running and <protocol_http_port> identifies the port assigned in your installation and customization of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
The first time the Administrative Console is opened, a username will be requested for login. This username can be anything! The Administrative Console is divided into two sections. The left hand side contains a tree hierarchy for navigating the console and the right hand side displays the information related to the current node selected. When instructed toNavigate to, the tree hierarchy should be traversed to the relevant node.
