About the Application Port Number and URL

The WebTop and WebDashboard are both accessed by using a URL in a Web browser. This URL varies based on the application as well as your SIMULIA Execution Engine environment. Before you verify that the application is working correctly, you need to determine your port number and application name in your URL.

Your URL will appear similar to one of the following examples, based on the application you are using:

http://hostname:9080/webtop
http://hostname:9080/webdashboard

The webtop and webdashboard portions of the URLs represent the Context root string provided during the deployment of the WebTop/WebDashboard (in Deploying the Web-Based Applications). If you specified something other than the recommended setting, you should use that customized setting in your application URL.

The port number—in these examples, 9080—is dependent on the installation of WebSphere and could be different, especially if more than one WebSphere installation is present on the system or you are using multiple WebSphere profiles. You can confirm the port number by checking the WC_defaulthost port setting under Servers / Application servers / server1 / Ports in the WebSphere console for the WebTop/WebDashboard (not the console for the SIMULIA Execution Engine).
