Opening the Configuration Manager on AIX, Linux, and Solaris operating systems

To create or configure a WebSphere Commerce or a WebSphere Commerce Payments instance, you should use the Configuration Manager.

AIXLinuxSun Solaris Operating EnvironmentTo open WebSphere Commerce Configuration Manager:

  1. Start the server by doing the following:
    1. Log in as root.
    2. Open a terminal window.
    3. Issue the following command:
      xhost +host_name
      
      where host_name is the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which you want to run the Configuration Manager.

      Note: When starting the Configuration Manager over a 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 machine.

    4. 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.
    5. 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 machine on which you want to run the Configuration Manager.

      Notes:

      • 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.
  2. Start the client by doing the following:
    1. Open another terminal window.
    2. Issue the following command:
      xhost +host_name
      
      where host_name is the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which you want to run the Configuration Manager.
    3. 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.
    4. Issue the following commands:
      export DISPLAY=host_name:0.0
      cd WC_installdir/bin
      ./config_client.sh &
      
      where host_name is the fully qualified host name of the machine from which you want to access the Configuration Manager.
  3. In the Configuration Authentication window, enter the Configuration Manager user ID and password and click OK.
