Accessing Your Information Portal Administration Tool
Web Site

Once you have installed Information Portal, you can access it from any workstation that is linked to the World Wide Web. When you open a browser to access the Information Portal Administration tool, the browser uses the initial Information Portal settings it finds for the entire time it stays open. Information Portal cannot send new settings to your browser until you close and reopen the browser. This means that your browser will display out-of-date Information Portal information unless you close your browser after you restart the database. If your library has multiple system administrators working in the Information Portal Administration tools, none of the system administrators can see any of the changes that the others make until they close their browser and open a new one.

To access your Information Portal Administration tool web site

1 Open a web browser.
2 Enter this information in your web browser’s URL entry field:

http://your Application Server IP address:administration port number/sa_tools/admin/home.jsp

For example, enter http://HIPserver.lib.org:222/sa_tools/admin/home.jsp.

You can also enter the numerical IP address of your Application Server. (For example, enter http://123.123.123.123:222/sa_tools/admin/home.jsp.)
