Starting the sample server
Before you develop, test, and run the samples and tutorials, you must start the Sample Server. You can start the sample server from the Start menu.
About this task
No additional configuration is required start the sample server.
When you start the sample server for the first time, the ODMSample profile is configured on WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment to run the included samples and tutorials.
Start the sample server from the Start menu shortcut.
Procedure
What to do next
You can perform a number of introductory tasks using the environment that is installed for you by the sample server installer:
- Perform the Getting started tutorials, and other component-specific tutorials, see Tutorials
- Run the samples from the samples console in Eclipse, see Product samples.
For more information, see Using the sample server
- If you are using the sample server profile to run Events, you can use the same username and password to log in to the Event Widgets and to the Events Administration console.
Single sign-on (SSO) authentication is activated for the sample server. With SSO, users can log in once and gain access to all applications without being prompted to log in again for each of them. If you use different sign-on credentials for the applications on the sample server, for example when performing certain samples and tutorials, you get an error message when you attempt to sign in to the second application.
To avoid this issue, you must sign out of the first console and then sign in to the second console. Alternatively, you can sign in to all of the applications on the server by using the credentials that you entered at installation time.
