Ensure the API Gateway is Running

Before starting the Policy Studio, you should ensure that the Admin Node Manager and the API Gateway instance that you wish to manager are running. For more details, see the topic on Installing the API Gateway.

Starting the Policy Studio

If you did not select to launch the Policy Studio after installation, perform the following steps:

  1. Open a command prompt.

  2. Change to your Policy Studio installation directory (for example, INSTALL_DIR\policystudio).

  3. Start policystudio.

Making a Server Connection

When the Policy Studio starts up, click a link to a server session to display the Open Connection dialog. You can use this dialog to specify Connection Details (for example, host, port, user name, and password), or to specify Saved Sessions.

If you wish to connect to the server using a non-default URL, click Advanced, and enter the URL. The default URL for the Admin Node Manager is:

https://localhost:8090/api

For more details on the settings in the Open Connection dialog, see the Oracle API Gateway User Guide.

Unattended Installation

You can run the API Gateway installer in unattended mode on the command line. The following command shows an example of installing the Policy Studio component only:

Windows

OAG-11.1.2.1.0-windows-installer.exe --mode unattended 
  --enable-components policystudio --disable-components analytics,nodemanager

Linux

./OAG-11.1.2.1.0-linux-installer.run --mode unattended
