RE: Trouble loading up iSeries Web Access Alpha

I created a separate instance per the docs - running on port 5098.  I did
choose the settings you refer to.  Subsystem QEJB/QEJBSBS was running.  The
following two jobs show as running in the subsystem - QEJBADMIN and
QEJBMNTR.  The subsystem QHTTPSVR is running, with jobs for instance DEFAULT
and instance IWAALPHA.

The install docs for Web Access have a blurb about 'confirming your
installation'.  Those docs say that after pointing your browser to
http://as400/webaccess/iWAHome I should see a job running in that subsystem
called IWAWEBACCE.  When I point the browser there, I get 404 - file not
found.  There is no job called IWAWEBACCE running in the QEJBSBS.  Just the
two jobs I mentioned previously.

One thing I find curious - I looked at the WRKHTTPCFG for both DEFAULT and
IWAALPHA.  Neither of them have any directives pointing to /webaccess .  I
find this odd since I've had a fair amount of experience tinkering with
those settings to get various subdirectory web pages working properly.

I do see some unique lines of code for the WRKHTTPCFG in IWAALPHA.  One
thing I'm curious about is that these lines are after a bunch of custom
lines of code that I put in. The lines are as follows:

        BindSpecific Off                                        
Port 5098                                               
UserID %%SERVER%%                                       
DNS-Lookup Off                                          
RuleCaseSense Off                                       
Imbeds Off SSIOnly                                      
ServerInit /QSYS.LIB/QEJB.LIB/QSVTGO46PI.SRVPGM:init_exit
/QIBM/UserData/WebASAdv/default/properties/bootstrap.properties

ServerTerm /QSYS.LIB/QEJB.LIB/QSVTGO46PI.SRVPGM:term_exit

These lines of code are after some lines that (if I remember right) are sort
of a 'catch all'.

If I point IE5 to http://as400:5098 , I get my default root page OK.  So,
the instance seems to work for regular text based HTML.

I tried going to http://as400:900 which I think is the admin function for
websphere.  That goes nowhere.  Just sticks.

I did find one other interesting tidbit - a spooled file form QEJB - it
appears to have some Websphere error messages:

[01.04.08 14:30:55:820 GMT+00:00] c30402fa AdminServer   A ADMS0002I:

rmi/Remote;+2 (EJSContainer.java:990)            

One other question - is 5250 emulation in the product yet?  In poking around
IBM's web site looking for answers, I saw a reference to '5250 is coming
soon....'.  That's my whole objective for this exercise.  Is it available?

Thanks.

David have you started up the WAS application instance that was created for
Web Access? You need to go in there and start that first, before you try and
access it, once running you can then get in. Have you also set up the
webserver instance with use servlets & JSP's under WAS, and then made sure
that the webserver name you will access is in the default Virtual Host for
the iwaWebAccessServer normally Default_Host?

A document that we are putting together looking at some of the WAS terms can
be found at

http://www.ignite400.org/html/articles/art124.htm

its work in progress but may help you understand whats going on.

Thanks Bleddyn
