Starting EAServer, SQL Anywhere, and the Management Console

The installer creates a preconfigured server named EAServer. If you installed EAServer as a Windows service, the server starts automatically when you restart your machine. Otherwise, you can start EAServer manually by choosing Start | Programs | Sybase | EAServer 6.2 | Start Server (JDK version). This also starts the SQL Anywhere database if installed.

There are many other ways to start the server. See “Starting the server” in Chapter 3, “Creating and Configuring Servers,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide.

With EAServer running, you can start the Management Console to configure new servers, packages, and components, and so on.

StepsStarting the Management Console

The Management Console allows you to configure servers, packages, and components. You can run the Management Console in either a Web browser or Eclipse.

  1. To run the Management Console in a Web browser, open the browser and access this URL:

    http://<host>:8000/console
    

    where host is the name of the machine on which EAServer is installed.

    To run the Management Console in Eclipse: start Eclipse, select Help | Help Contents, then choose the Management Console.

  2. Enter admin as the user name, and the password that you established for this user during the installation, then click Login.

    You can reset the password using the set-admin-password command, which is located in the bin subdirectory of your EAServer installation.

  3. Select any of the installed plug-ins to access EAServer resources.

NoteWhen you install EAServer, the default host name for all listeners is set to the name of the host machine and the default IIOP port number to 2000. After connecting to EAServer, you can use the Management Console to edit the listener properties and change the default host name and port numbers. Some of the sample programs use “localhost” as the host name when connecting to EAServer. See “Configuring listeners” in Chapter 3, “Creating and Configuring Servers,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide for more information.
