IBM 6.1.X manual Application Server Tuning, How to get to Admin Console

Application Server Tuning

There are many aspects to configuring and tuning an application server in WebSphere Application Server. We found that those aspects presented here were critical to a correctly functioning and optimally performing WebSphere Portal in our laboratory environment.

For more details on tuning a WebSphere Application Server, see the Tuning Section of the information center located at:

How to get to Admin Console

There are two methods to get to WebSphere Administrative Console.

∙Start Server1 and use port 10001

1.In <WAS_root>/profiles/wp_profile/bin

2../startServer.sh server1

3.http://yourhost:10001/admin

∙Start Portal and use port 10027

1.In <WAS_Root>/profile/wp_profile/bin

2../startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

3.http://yourhost:10027/ibm/console

Customer ports can differ from the ports 10001 or 10027 mentioned on this page. To find out the ports in use for your installation, look for ‘adminhost’ in <wp_profile root>/config/cells/<cell_name>/nodes/<node_name>/serverindex.xml.

The following are settings based on our experience with the Base Portal workloads described above:
