To explore the demo fully, you need to start the ATG Control Center, which is a graphical interface to many of the development and maintenance tasks involved in building a Web site with the ATG product suite. For example, you can use the ATG Control Center to create and preview content pages, manage visitor profiles, and set up the business rules that determine how you will personalize content for each visitor.

The way in which you start the ATG Control Center depends on how you’ve installed your ATG components. To start an ATG Control Center that is installed on the same machine as the rest of the product suite:

  1. Point your browser to the ATG Dynamo Admin Server interface (http://localhost:port/dyn/admin, where the default port numbers on JBoss, BEA WebLogic, and IBM WebSphere are 8080, 7001, and 9080 , respectively. For more information, see Connecting to the Dynamo Administration UI in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide).

  2. When prompted for a user name and password, enter admin for both (unless you’ve changed the defaults).

  3. Click the appropriate start button.

    • Use Start ACC in Server VM if you want to run the ATG Control Center on the same machine that runs the server and you want to conserve memory.

    • Use Start ACC in Separate VM if you want to run the ATG Control Center and server stack on separate machines or you want quicker startup loading.

  4. When the ATG Control Center starts, you are prompted for a user name and password. Enter admin for both (unless you’ve changed the defaults).

Note: These instructions apply only if you’ve installed the ATG server and the ATG Control Center client on the same host. If you’ve followed a different installation model, refer to the Running ATG Applications chapter in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.

The first time you view a page or perform an operation, start-up processes such as component compiling may affect performance. Quincy Funds comes precompiled, but if you make changes to a page or component, it must be recompiled before it can be served again.
