Step 4: Starting the CallPath Server Management Facility and configuring CallPath Server for AIX

Following is an overview of the tasks required for starting the CallPath Server Management Facility and configuring CallPath Server for AIX:

These tasks are described in more detail in the following sections.

Note:
If you encounter errors or problems when trying to start CallPath Server for AIX, see CallPath Server Planning, Installation, and Problem Determination Guide.

Starting the CallPath Server for AIX Management Facility

There are two methods you can use to start the CallPath Server for AIX Management Facility:

These methods are described in the following sections.

Starting the CallPath Server for AIX Management Facility from the system prompt

You can start the CallPath Server for AIX Management Facility from the system prompt by doing the following:

  1. Log on to the system as an authorized group.
  2. Type the following command:
    cd /usr/lpp/csasrvr/bin
  3. Type csasrvr.

After CallPath Server for AIX is started, the CallPath Server Management Facility window and the Product information window are displayed.

If password protection was enabled, the Administrative Password window is also displayed and the password must be entered to gain access to the CallPath Server Management Facility configuration functions. To enter the password and gain access to the CallPath Server Management Facility, type the password, then click on OK.

Note:
The default password, until you change it, is password.

See CallPath Server Planning, Installation, and Problem Determination Guide for a description of the CallPath Server Management Facility window and how to use the window's features.

Starting CallPath Server for AIX Management Facility from SMIT

SMIT can be run in either MOTIF (using AIXwindows and a mouse) or character mode (using the cursor keys). The examples in this book describe MOTIF CallPath Server Management Facility windows and screens. If you run CallPath Server for AIX on an Xstation and use MOTIF, but would like to use SMIT in character mode, type smit -C csasrvr on the command line. This temporarily changes SMIT from MOTIF to character mode. See the CallPath Server Planning, Installation, and Problem Determination Guide for sample CallPath Server Management Facility screens in character mode.

To start the CallPath Server for AIX Management Facility from SMIT, do the following:

  1. Log on to the system as an authorized group.
  2. Type smit at the system prompt.
  3. Select Communications Applications and Services from the System Management menu.
    Note:
    SMIT provides fastpath commands that take you directly to a SMIT panel without making individual menu selections.
  4. Select CallPath Server for AIX.

After CallPath Server for AIX is started, the CallPath Server Management Facility window and the Product Information window are displayed.

If password protection was enabled, the Administrative Password window is also displayed and the password must be entered to gain access to the CallPath Server Management Facility configuration functions.

To enter the password and gain access to the CallPath Server Management Facility, do the following:

  1. Type the password, then click on OK.
    Note:
    The default password, until you change it, is password. If you use SMIT, there is no Administrative Password window and hence, no password.
  2. Click on OK in the CallPath Server Management Facility Product Information window to access the CallPath Server Management Facility window.

Configuring CallPath Server for AIX for a minimal configuration

CallPath Server for AIX requires the following operating parameters before it can communicate with client applications:

To configure CallPath Server for AIX, do the following:

  1. Display the Set Server Configuration window in one of the following ways:
  2. Enter new maximum values for the following fields. (See the CallPath Server Planning, Installation, and Problem Determination Guide for information on tuning the CallPath Server for AIX parameters in this window.)

    Number of concurrent applications
    The maximum number of applications that will be running at the same time.

    Number of concurrent users
    Set to the number of authorized concurrent users from IBM. Contact your purchasing organization if you do not know this number.
  3. Click on OK to accept the CallPath Server for AIX configuration values.

The new configuration values take effect the next time CallPath Server for AIX is started.

Starting the CallPath Server for AIX subsystem

After starting the CallPath Server Management Facility, start the CallPath Server for AIX subsystem in one of the following ways:
