1. Open WebSphere’s admin console as explained in steps 1-3 of Configuring a WebSphere Application Server 5.1 to work with the eG Agent.

2. In the screen that appears (see Figure 1), expand the Servers node in the left pane, and click on the Application Servers link within.

5. In Figure 3 that appears, select the Startup check box, choose the Custom option, and set all the variables to X. Alternatively, the variables can also be set to H, but we recommend X. If you set the variables to H, then a few measures may not be available to you. Finally, click on the Apply button to register the changes.
