You can start ALSM by running the server/bin/startup.bat|startup.sh script or choosing Start > ALSM > Start Server from the Start menu. (This is the default location in the Start menu.).
| Note: | If you are running ALSM on Unix-like systems, you must restart your server with the following property set before you run reports in Service Level Manager: |
Starting WebLogic Server automatically starts ALSM.
After starting ALSM, you access its facilities and administer it using a web-based interface called the ALSM Management Console.
To log into the Management Console:
The port number depends on how WebLogic Server is configured. By default, the WebLogic Server installer sets the port number to 7001.
You can also choose Start > ALSM > Launch Management Console if you are running the Management Console on the host machine.
After you start the Management Console, a log-in page is displayed. Log in using the appropriate credentials, as described in ALSM Application Roles on page 3-2.
The Management Console uses roles to authorize access to various parts of the user interface.
ALSM applications rely on the WebLogic Server container for authentication and association of roles with users. The roles of the ALSM System administrator (amfadmin, slmadmin, exmadmin) are automatically mapped to the Administrators group defined in WebLogic Server. The roles of ALSM user (amfuser, slmuser, exmuser) are mapped to the groups Operators and Monitors. The roles of ALSM observer (amfobserver, slmobserver, exmobserver) are mapped to the group Everyone, granting all authenticated users observer privileges. The following table lists the ALSM application roles and their default container role mapping:
You can modify these default mappings using the WebLogic Server console. For more information on setting up user accounts and assigning roles, see the "Authentication and Role Mapping" topic of the ALSM online help
To log out of the ALSM Management Console, click the Logout link in the upper-right corner of the page.
You can shut down (and restart) ALSM using the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
You can shut down ALSM by choosing Start > ALSM > Stop Server or running the server/bin/shutdown.bat|startup.sh script.
