This chapter describes where to go now that you have installed the Oracle Database Companion CD products:
Note:
On Windows Vista, utilities such as Oracle Universal Installer and Oracle Process Management Notification (OPMN) utility require Administrator privileges.You can check the installation contents of your Oracle software by using Oracle Universal Installer:
From the Start menu, choose Programs, then Oracle - HOME_NAME, Oracle Installation Products, then Universal Installer.
You can access Oracle Universal Installer from any Oracle home.
When the Welcome window appears, click Installed Products.
The Inventory window appears, listing all of the Oracle homes on the system and the products installed in each Oracle home. To check the paths of the products, click the Environment tab.
This section covers the following topics:
To start, stop, or restart Oracle HTTP Server:
From the Start menu, choose Programs, then Oracle - HOME_NAME, then Oracle HTTP Server.
Select the appropriate option:
Start HTTP Server
Stop HTTP Server
Alternatively, you can open a command prompt and run the following commands:
To start Oracle HTTP Server:
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\opmn\bin\opmnctl startproc ias-component=HTTP_Server
To restart Oracle HTTP Server:
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\opmn\bin\opmnctl restartproc ias-component=HTTP_Server
To stop Oracle HTTP Server:
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\opmn\bin\opmnctl stopproc ias-component=HTTP_Server
To log in to Oracle HTTP Server, in a browser, enter a URL using the following syntax:
http://server:port/
where:
server
is the computer where you have installed Oracle HTTP Server, for example, mycomputer.us.mycompany.com
.
port
is the port number assigned to Oracle HTTP Server. In a default installation, this number is 7777. You can find information about your Oracle HTTP Server installation's port number from the httpd.conf
file, located in ORACLE_BASE
\
ORACLE_HOME
\Apache\Apache\conf
, by searching for Port
.
You can also find the port number in the portlist.ini
file, located in ORACLE_BASE
\
ORACLE_HOME
\install
. However, be aware that if you change a port number, it is not updated in the portlist.ini
file, so you can only rely on this file immediately after installation.
After you have logged in, you can find Oracle HTTP Server product demonstrations and a listing of new features for this release. This link also provides access to the Oracle Technology Network.
This section covers the following topics:
You open the Oracle HTML DB home page in a Web browser. To view or develop Oracle HTML DB applications, the Web browser must support JavaScript and the HTML 4.0 and CSS 1.0 standards.

In a Web browser, navigate to the Oracle HTML DB Administration Services application:
http://hostname:port/pls/database_access_descriptor/htmldb_admin
where:
hostname
is the name of the computer where Oracle HTTP Server is installed.
port
is the port number assigned to Oracle HTTP Server. In a default installation, this number is 7777. You can find information about your Oracle HTTP Server installation's port number from the httpd.conf

file, so you can only rely on this file immediately after installation.
database_access_descriptor
is the database access descriptor (DAD) defined in the mod_plsql configuration file. The default value is htmldb
.

The Login page appears.
In Username, enter admin
.
In Password, enter the Oracle HTML DB administrator account password you specified when you installed Oracle HTML DB.
Click Login.
The Oracle HTML DB Administration Services page appears.
If you are an Oracle HTML DB administrator, you need to:
Log in to Oracle HTML DB Administration Services. Oracle HTML DB Administration Services is a separate application for managing an entire Oracle HTML DB instance.
Specify a provisioning mode. In Oracle HTML DB Administration Services you need to determine how the process of creating (or provisioning) a workspace will work in your development environment.
Create a Workspace. A workspace is a shared work area within the Oracle HTML DB development environment that has a unique ID and name. An Oracle HTML DB administrator can create a workspace manually or have users submit requests.
Log in to a Workspace. Once you have created workspace in Oracle HTML DB Administration Services, you can return to the Oracle HTML DB Login page and log in to that workspace.

if you are not sure which server and port number to useThe Oracle Workflow server installation includes the Oracle Workflow Manager component of Oracle Enterprise Manager. This component provides administrative and management tools for Oracle Workflow. When you install Oracle Workflow into your Oracle Database home, Oracle Workflow Configuration Assistant configures Oracle Workflow Manager. It creates two Oracle Application Server Containers for Java 2 Enterprise Edition (OC4J) instances:
OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container: Workflow Configuration Assistant deploys two applications within this instance. One application runs the agent listener service components and the other runs notification mailer service components.
OC4J_Workflow_Management_Container: Workflow Configuration Assistant deploys one application within this instance to implement the Oracle Workflow Manager user interface.
Starting, Stopping, or Restarting the OC4J Instances
To start these instances, run the following scripts:
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\wf\admin\wfmgrstart.bat ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\wf\admin\wfsvcstart.bat
You can stop and restart the OC4J instances in which Oracle Workflow Manager is deployed. To stop the instances, run the following scripts:
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\wf\admin\wfmgrstop.bat ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\wf\admin\wfsvcstop.bat
Accessing the Oracle Workflow Manager User Instance
To access the Oracle Workflow Manager user interface:
Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control:
http://server:port/em
For example:
http://myserver.mycompany:5500/em
In the Home page, navigate to the Related Links section.
In the Related Links section, select Workflow Manager.
Log in using your Oracle Workflow Manager database username (typically owf_mgr
) and password.
