The following topics describe some of the configuration controls available on the Tools menu in Administrator.
For other functions on the Tools menu, see the following topics:
Use the Change Password window to set or change an optional primary password for the default Administrator user to open the Administrator and Tracker applications. You also can set or change an optional secondary password to require two passwords to open Administrator and Tracker.
By default there is no password for Administrator and Tracker.
Select Tools
Figure 10-1 Change Password Window
The following describes the fields on the Change Password window.
Type the new or changed user password to be used at the login dialog box. The password length is from 1 to 50 characters and can be any combination of numbers and letters. This password is case-sensitive. Setting a password is optional.
Type the password carefully because the characters you type are masked.
WebLogic Integration - Business Connect does not provide a way for you to recover a forgotten password.
Type the new or changed optional second user password to be used at the login dialog box. The password length is from 1 to 50 characters and can be any combination of numbers and letters. This password is case-sensitive.
If you require a second password, WebLogic Integration - Business Connect at login prompts the user to enter the second password after the first password is entered.
Use the Remove Record Locks window to unlock a record in use by another user. This enables you to make changes to the record even though another user already has accessed it.
When a user opens a record (for example, a company profile), WebLogic Integration - Business Connect locks it to prevent other users from changing it. If another user tries to open the record after the first user has accessed it, WebLogic Integration - Business Connect displays a message that another user has accessed the record and that you can only view but not change it. The remove record locks feature allows you to override this lock on open records.
When the second user, who removed the lock, opens the record, both users can edit it. The first user, who opened the record before the second user unlocked and opened it, does not know that another user has opened the same record. Both users can save changes by clicking OK. If both users change the same field in the record, the change made by the last user to click OK prevails.

The following describes the fields on the Remove Record Locks window.
Use the Preferences window General tab to set the name of the computer running the Server application, the event logging level, alert message interval, connection time-out interval and certificate expiration notification period.
Select Tools
Figure 10-3 Preferences Window General Tab (Windows)
The following describes the fields on the Preferences window General tab.
The fully qualified domain name, registered with the domain name system (DNS), or IP address of the computer where the Server application is running.
If you configure the bundled HTTP or HTTPS transport, your company profile uses this host name in the URL for inbound documents. If you change this field, the URL changes accordingly in the company profile, but you must notify your partner of the change. If you change this field, we recommend that you restart the Server application for the change to become effective.
Select from the drop-down list the message group corresponding to the minimum event levels you want to record in the server log. The following table describes the levels you can set. The number of messages increases the lower you set the level. The lowest level is Alert, Notify, Transaction, Debug. The default level is Alert, Notify, Transaction.
Turning on debug messages (level 0) can be helpful in troubleshooting. Debug messages provide additional information about events in the server log, which is in the WebLogic Integration - Business Connect logs directory (see Viewing the server.log File in Windows and UNIX). Novice users might want to generate debug messages to help resolve issues that can occur while learning the application. Experienced users can find debug messages useful for advanced troubleshooting. We recommend that you turn off debug messages when not troubleshooting because generating debug messages slows application performance.
For more information about messages see Messages.
The interval in minutes WebLogic Integration - Business Connect waits before it sends you the next alert message about the same alert condition. For example, if WebLogic Integration - Business Connect cannot connect to the mail server, it sends you only one alert e-mail about this failure per interval that you specify. The default interval is 60 minutes.
The limit in kilobytes for how much of each document WebLogic Integration - Business Connect reads into memory for processing during each cycle. The default is 10 KB. You cannot change this value.
This is the number of days before an active company certificate expires that the system will issue an alert message warning of the upcoming expiration date. This warning is intended to provide time to replace the certificate before an expired certificate can interrupt trading. The system issues only one alert for a certificate about to expire.
Alerts for certificates about to expire are issued only for active certificates for company profiles and for active certificates for the WebLogic Integration - Business Connect API HTTPS server and SOAP-RPC HTTPS server. Alerts are not issued for partner certificates. Alert messages are reported on the Alerts information viewer in Tracker. Alert messages also are sent by e-mail if a notify e-mail address is specified on the Company Profile window Preferences tab.
The Server application must be running for certificate expiration date checking to take place. The Server checks upon start-up and once every 24 hours thereafter.
Select this check box to display the Server Display window while the Server application is running. This is the default and recommended setting.
If you change the selection, you must restart the Server for the change to take effect.
If you previously specified a browser, this field shows the path to your Internet browser. You use a browser to view the online help and to obtain certificates from third-party certificate authorities.
To set or change the browser path, click Browse to open the Browse dialog box. Type the path of the executable file for the browser and click OK to return to the General tab.
Use the Preferences window Ports tab to view or change ports WebLogic Integration - Business Connect uses.
Select Tools
Figure 10-4 Preferences Window Ports Tab
The following describes the fields on the Preferences window Ports tab.
The number of the port that the WebLogic Integration - Business Connect internal SMTP server listens to for inbound documents that are sent via the SMTP transport. The default is 4025.
If you change this port, make sure a value is present and restart the Server application for the change to become effective.
The number of the port that the WebLogic Integration - Business Connect internal SMTP server listens to for inbound documents that are sent via the SMTP transport with SSL engaged. The default is 4026.
If you change this port, make sure a value is present and restart the Server application for the change to become effective.
The following fields are for communications with a remote application program interface (API) client. To communicate with an API client via HTTPS you must also complete a number of other configuration tasks. See API HTTPS Security.
The port for a remote API client communicating by way of an HTTPS server.
If you use the API HTTPS port for integration, you must generate or load a certificate for the HTTPS server using the certloader tool. See Certificate Tool (certloader).
The number of the port for the SOAP HTTPS server that is built into WebLogic Integration - Business Connect. Administrator and Tracker use this port to securely send updates to the Server application. For details see SOAP-RPC HTTPS Security.
If you change this value, you must close Administrator and Tracker and restart the Server application for the change to become effective.
Select this check box only if you want the Server application to authenticate a certificate for Administrator and Tracker. For details see SOAP-RPC HTTPS Security.
If you change this value, you must close Administrator and Tracker and restart the Server application for the change to become effective.
Use the Preferences Outbound SMTP tab to designate one SMTP server for sending documents to all partners via the POP transport (SMTP/POP). The information on this tab is used on the Partner Profile window Outbound Protocols tab for the POP transport for the partner profiles you import or create. You must first complete the Preferences window Outbound SMTP tab before importing or creating partner profiles for the information on this tab to become part of the POP transport configuration.
If you want to use different SMTP servers for sending documents to different partners, you have two options. You can complete the Outbound SMTP tab, create or import the partner profile, and then type new values in the SMTP server field on the POP Transport Options window, which is accessed from the Partner Profile window Outbound Protocol tab. Or, you can leave the Outbound SMTP tab blank and add the SMTP server information in the POP configuration for the partner profile.
