This section guides you through the various selections on the Host Publisher Server Administration window. For more details on the Host Publisher Server Administration, see IBM WebSphere Host Publisher Administration and Users Guide, GC31-8728.
Selecting the host and application server
You can select the WebSphere Host Publisher Server to administer with the Select Host and Administration server option. The default is the default host and application server. However, you may select a new host by entering the host name or IP address. From your local host, you can administer a Host Publisher Server installed on another server. See Figure 5-21.
Monitoring the server status
The Server Status panel (Figure 5-22) displays information about the current status of the server, including the number of licenses installed on this server. You can start, stop, or restart the server from this panel.
Figure 5-22 Server status
Providing application passwords
If users will run applications containing strongly encrypted user lists, you must provide the Host Publisher encryption key. You can learn more about this in Chapter 3 of the IBM WebSphere Host Publisher Administration and Users Guide, GC31-8728.
Monitoring connection pools
Connection pools are collections of communication links to backend data sources, such as 5250 applications or databases. When an Integration Object is run on behalf of a client request, the Integration Object obtains an available connection from a pool, uses it for access to the data source, and then returns the connection to the pool. When connection pooling is enabled, the overhead of establishing a connection is absorbed in its first use. Each
Integration Object that reuses this connection benefits from the prior establishment of the connection and can run faster.
This panel displays information about defined connection pools. A connection pool is not listed until at least one connection is allocated from the pool.
Monitoring pool definitions
A pool definition provides information about a collection of data source connections. This panel displays pool definition information for host and database connections. A pool definition is not listed until at least one connection is allocated from the defined pool.
Monitoring connections
Each connection shown on these panels represents a communication link to a backend data source, such as a 5250 application or a database. The panels enable you to see details about which users are connecting to which data sources, and which connection identifiers they are using. You can also shut down sessions. See Figure 5-23.
Figure 5-23 Monitoring connections
Host Publisher Server Administration provides a separate panel for each of the following functions:
All connections
Host connections: Connections to 5250 applications running on an iSeries server accessible via Telnet
Database connections: Connections to databases through the Java Database Connection (JDBC) interface
Monitoring user lists and user list members
User lists identify the user IDs and other connection-specific parameters associated with a particular connection pool definition. For systems that allow only a single connection per user ID, the number of user IDs determines the number of connections that can be active in a single pool. For a user list, select the User Lists item as shown in Figure 5-24.
The User List Members panel (Figure 5-25) shows the different users.
Problem determination
Host Publisher Server Administration enables you to set up and monitor logging and tracing to help you resolve problems. Options are provided that allow the user to:
View version information
View log
Set log options
View trace
Set trace options
The Problem Determination panel is illustrated in Figure 5-26. From this page, you can navigate to subsequent pages to set up a complete problem determination and debugging environment.
The Version Information panel (Figure 5-27) displays the Host Publisher version, build level, and a list of Authorized Program Analysis Reports (APAR).
Figure 5-27 Host Publisher Version information
With the View Log panel, you can view the Host Publisher log file. You can find information on the messages in the log file in the WebSphere Host Publisher Message Reference, which you can find in the library in the WebSphere Host Publisher Studio.
On the Set Log Options panel, you define the log level needed.
You can use the View Trace option to view the information in the Host Publisher trace file. You can use Set Trace Options to trace one or more of the following types:
Integration Objects on the server
Host connections using the tracing facility in Host On-Demand
An example of the tracing facilities is the Display Terminal for testing and debugging, as shown in Figure 5-28.

For more details on problem determination topics, refer to the IBM WebSphere Host Publisher Administration and Users Guide, GC31-8728.
Administering XML Gateway sessions
Use Host Publisher Server Administration to define, delete, and configure XML Gateway sessions. You access the host by using the
XML Gateway
servlet andxmlAppData
bean, if you define and start an XML Gateway session. See Figure 5-29 for the XML Gateway Administration panel.With the Create New Session button, you define a xmlGateway session as shown in Figure 5-30.
The Save button saves the XML Gateway session definition, the Start button starts the session. Figure 5-31 shows an example of the XML Gateway.
Figure 5-31 XML Gateway page
For more details on XML Gateway, see Chapter 6 in IBM WebSphere Host Publisher Administration and Users Guide, GC31-8728.
Languages
With the Select Language option, you can change the language used for administering Host Publisher Server. You can also view the documentation in another language other than the default. Several languages are supported. See Table C-1 on page 277 for the list of supported languages.
When you first start the Host Publisher Server Administration, it uses the default language of the server. You can change the language, choosing the language you want from the
drill-down box. After you click the Save button, the new language is active for the Host Publisher Server Administration. It stays active until you invoke the change language to change the language again.
See the Select Language panel in Figure 5-32.

Administering applications
Application administration, formerly a function of Host Publisher Server Administration, is now done using WebSphere Application Server. For details, refer to Administration in the IBM WebSphere Information Center at:
