This chapter describes the tasks that you need to perform after installing Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One. It contains the following sections:
Log in as the user who installed Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One. To use Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One, you must set environment variables listed in Table 7-1.
Table 7-1 Oracle Application Server Environment Variables
The Oracle Application Server Welcome page is a quick access point to manage your application server as shown in Figure 7-1. This section includes the following information about the Welcome page:
Figure 7-1 Oracle Application Server Welcome Page
Locate the URL for accessing the Welcome page on the End of Installation screen text, which is stored in the $ORACLE_HOME/install/setupinfo.txt file.
If you cannot access the Welcome page, then perform the following steps:
Check setupinfo.txt to ensure you are using the correct URL.
Restart Oracle HTTP Server by using the following commands:
opmnctl stopproc ias-component=HTTP_Server opmnctl startproc ias-component=HTTP_Server
The Welcome page contains an overview of the Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One product and documentation and the following:
Link to the latest product release notes on Oracle Technology Network at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation
Link to the Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One Quick Tour
Link and login information for the Application Server Control Console
Link and login information for Oracle Instant Portal
Link and login information for Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On
During installation, Oracle Application Server assigns port numbers to various components and services. Check these port numbers to ensure that a port number assignment does not conflict with a non-Oracle Application Server process. Refer to Chapter 10 for more information about changing port numbers.
Each component and service has an allotted port range. Oracle Application Server first checks the lowest port number in the port range for a component. If the port number is already in use, or is used by a currently running process or is listed in the /etc/services file. then Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One moves to the next highest port in the allotted port range and continues checking until a free port is found.
You can find the complete list of port numbers in the $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini file. Example 7-1 displays the portlist.ini file. In addition, the $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/setinfo.txt file also contains information about two important ports, the Application Server Control Console port and the HTTP Server port.
Example 7-1 Sample portlist.ini File
;OracleAS Components reserve the following ports at install time. ;As a post-installation step, you can reconfigure a component to ;use a different port. ;Those changes will not be visible in this file. [System] Host Name = seone-pc.us.oracle.com [Ports] Oracle HTTP Server port = 7777Oracle HTTP Server Listen port = 7777Oracle HTTP Server SSL port = 4443Oracle HTTP Server Listen (SSL) port = 4443Oracle Notification Server Request port = 6003Oracle Notification Server Local port = 6100Oracle Notification Server Remote port = 6200Oracle HTTP Server Diagnostic port = 7200Log Loader port = 44000Java Object Cache port = 7000DCM Discovery port = 7100Enterprise Manager Agent Port = 1830Application Server Control RMI port = 1850Application Server Control port = 1810Oracle Internet Directory port = 3060Oracle Internet Directory (SSL) port = 3130Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (seonedb) = 5500Enterprise Manager Agent Port (seonedb) = 1831
The portlist.ini file contains port numbers for components that are not installed because Oracle Application Server reserves ports for all components during installation, even those that were not configured. These port numbers are used if you configure components after installation.
|
Note: Theportlist.ini file is not updated if you modify port numbers after installation. When you start managing the application server, use the Application Server Control Console Ports Page for viewing port numbers because it displays the current port numbers. View the Ports page by clicking the ports link on the Application Server home page. The Ports page also contains links to pages that allow you to change port numbers.

This section provides information about managing components. It includes instructions for accessing component administration tools and postinstallation notes about components. Components are installed according to the service selected.
|
See Also: Section 1.3, "Installation Overview" for information about various services available with Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One |
Some components are installed by default for every installation. These include the following:
Section 7.4.1, "Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN)"
Section 7.4.4, "Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J)"
OPMN manages and monitors most Oracle Application Server components. It is installed and configured as part of every middle tier and infrastructure installation and is essential for running Oracle Application Server. Use OPMN to start and stop the application server, monitor components, and configure event scripts.
|
See Also: Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server Administrator's Guide and Appendix F for more information about OPMN |
DCM enables you to manage configuration information for application server instances, OracleAS Clusters, Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J), Oracle Application Server Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) Provider (JAZN), and OPMN. You can use DCM to save and restore configuration information, deploy applications, and manage clusters.
DCM is installed and configured with every Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One installation. All DCM installations use a DCM repository. There are two types of DCM repositories:
Database: This repository is located in OracleAS Metadata Repository of the DCM schema. It is used by OracleAS Portal installations.
File-based: This repository is located in the file system of the Oracle home.
During installation, DCM creates a copy of your initial configuration with the dcmctl saveInstance command. If you need to return to the initial configuration, then you can use the dcmctl restoreInstance command.
|
See Also: Distributed Configuration Management Administrator's Guide and Appendix E for more information about DCM commands |
Oracle HTTP Server is installed and configured with every middle tier and infrastructure installation. You can access Oracle HTTP Server at http://hostname.domain:port, where port is the Oracle HTTP Server Listener port number in the portlist.ini file.
OC4J is a complete J2EE environment. Different OC4J instances are installed depending on the installation type you choose.
When you install J2EE and Web Services only, the home OC4J instance is installed in the middle tier instance.
When you install OracleAS Portal with an OracleAS Infrastructure, the home and OC4J_Portal instances are installed in the middle tier instance, and the OC4J_SECURITY instance is installed in the OracleAS Infrastructure instance.
|
See Also: Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE User's Guide for more information about OC4J |
Use the ias_admin password to log in to Oracle Application Server Control Console. You can change the ias_admin user password by using one of the following methods:
Section 7.5.2, "Using the emctl Command-Line Tool"
|
Caution: If you use OracleAS Infrastructure, then you must adhere to the Oracle Internet Directory password policy when setting theias_admin password. For more information, refer to Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide.
|
To change the ias_admin user password:
Navigate to the Application Server home page and select Preferences.
Click Change Password. The Change Password page is displayed.
Change the password and click OK to reset the password for the current instance.
To change the ias_admin user password:
Enter the following command in the Oracle home directory of your Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One installation:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl set password old_password new_password
Restart Application Server Control Console using the following commands:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop iasconsole $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start iasconsole
