3.5 Home page and template file customization

You can change which page to display when accessing the iSeries Access for Web home

page URL, which is http://<systemname>/webaccess/iWAHome.

You can also set your own template file. The template file contains the header and footer

displayed on every page. The header is displayed before the iSeries Access for Web content,

and the footer is displayed after the content. For example, you can create a template to

display your company's logo before the content on every page.

The following sections describe how a company can use home page customization and

template file customization to build a Web site for selling boats.

3.5.1 Creating files

iSeries Access for Web provides the following default home page and template files:

 /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/html/homepage.htm

 /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/html/webaccess.htm

You can copy these files to another directory or create new files. The home page and

template files can be stored anywhere in the iSeries integrated file system. You should not

modify the files in ProdData or create new files in this directory tree. The /QIBM/ProdData

tree is intended for product files only.

In our boat company example, the home page is /boats/homepage/home1.htm, and the

template file is /boats/homepage/temp1.htm. To replace the default files with these files, click
