10 Verifying the Installation and Configuration

This chapter explains how to verify successful installation and complete the configuration of Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite applications, in these topics:

10.1 Starting the Administration Server

Before you can start a Managed Server for an application, you need to start the Administration Server for the Oracle WebLogic Server domain.

To start the Administration Server:

  1. Run the startWebLogic script (from the bin directory under the domain home directory:

    • UNIX operating system

      MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/startWebLogic.sh  [http://admin_server_address]
      

      Note:

      On a Linux operating system, the shell is going to stay open.

    • Windows operating system

      MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\startWebLogic.cmd [http://admin_server_address]
      

    The directory path to the Middleware home (MW_HOME) and the name of the domain (domain_name) were provided on the Specify Domain Name and Location screen in Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard.

  2. For a production system, supply the Oracle WebLogic Server user name and password.

    Supply the values that were specified on the Configure Administrator User Name and Password screen in the configuration wizard.

  3. Access the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console at the following URL:

    http://adminServerHost:adminServerPort/console
    

    For adminServerHost, specify the name of the computer that hosts the Administration Server for your domain. For adminServerPort, specify the listen port number for the Administration Server. The default number is 7001. For example:

    http://myHost:7001/console
    

    To log in, supply the user name and password that were specified on the Configure Administrator User Name and Password screen in the configuration wizard.

10.2 Starting Managed Servers

You can start each Managed Server from the bin directory inside your domain home directory:

The directory path to the Middleware home (MW_HOME) and the name of the domain (domain_name) were provided on the Specify Domain Name and Location screen in Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard.


Important:


To start a Managed Server:

  1. Start the Administration Server (see Section 10.1, "Starting the Administration Server").

  2. Run the startManagedWebLogic script:

    • UNIX operating system:

      MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh server_name [admin_url]
      
    • Windows operating system:

      MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd server_name [admin_url]
      

    This command requires that you specify a server name, such as one of these:

    • UCM_server1 (Oracle Universal Content Management)

    • IBR_server1 (Oracle Inbound Refinery)

    • IPM_server1 (Oracle Imaging and Process Management)

    • IRM_server1 (Oracle Information Rights Management)

    • URM_server1 (Oracle Universal Records Management)

    The value of admin_url is the Administration Server URL. If the Administration Server does not use the default port, 7001, you need to specify a value for admin_url, such as http://localhost:8001/.

    For example, the following command would start an Oracle I/PM Managed Server on a UNIX operating system:

    cd MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin
    ./startManagedWebLogic.sh IPM_server1 http://localhost:8001/
    

    On a Windows operating system, the following command would start an Oracle IRM Managed Server on the local host:

    MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd IRM_server1
    

You will be prompted for the Oracle WebLogic Server user name and password before the server starts. These were provided on the Configure Administrator User Name and Password screen in the configuration wizard.

The names of the Managed Servers are in the startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt file. To view the server names on a UNIX operating system, issue this command:

cat MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt

To view the server names on a Windows operating system, double-click this file:

MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt

For information about stopping and starting a Managed Server with Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, see "Starting and Stopping Oracle WebLogic Server Instances" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

To avoid prompts for a user name and password on startup after you start a Managed Server the first time, you can create a boot.properties file in the domain-home/servers/server-name/security/ directory. This file would include the following lines:

username=USERNAME
password=PASSWORD

The boot.properties file will be encrypted the first time that the Managed Server is started.

10.3 Starting Node Manager

Starting Node Manager on a machine that hosts one or more Managed Servers enables you to start and stop the Managed Servers remotely using the Administration Console or the command line. Node Manager can also automatically restart a Managed Server after an unexpected failure.

Before you start Node Manager, be sure to complete the Oracle URM setup checklist, described in Section 9.1, "Completing the Oracle URM Configuration."

To start Node Manager:

  1. Start Node Manager with the startNodeManager script.

    UNIX operating system

    cd WL_HOME/server/bin
    ./startNodeManager.sh
    

    Windows operating system

    WL_HOME\server\bin\startNodeManager.cmd
    
  2. Edit the nodemanager.properties file to change the entry StartScriptEnabled=false to StartScriptEnabled=true.

  3. Restart Node Manager.

For more information about Node Manager, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Node Manager Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

10.4 Increasing the Java Heap Size for a Managed Server

The default Java heap size is 512 MB for an Oracle WebLogic Server Managed Server. For better performance, increase the heap size for each Managed Server in an Oracle ECM domain to 1 GB (1024 MB). If you use Node Manager to start the Managed Servers, you can specify a heap size as a Java argument on the Server Start tab of the Settings page for each Managed Server in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

To increase the Java heap size for a Managed Server in the Administration Console:

  1. Log into the Administration Console.

  2. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center on the upper left, click Lock & Edit.

  3. In the navigation tree on the left, expand Environment, and click Servers.

  4. In the Servers table, click the name of the server instance you want to configure.

  5. On the Configuration tab, click Server Start.

  6. In the Arguments field, specify the following Java option:

    -Xmx1024m
    
  7. Click Save.

  8. To activate the change, in the Change Center on the upper left, click Activate Changes.

  9. Restart the Managed Server.

10.5 Verifying the Installation

To verify the installation of Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite, start a web browser, and enter the following URLs to test access to the Administration Server, Administration Console, and Fusion Middleware Control, as well as to applications in your Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
