If you installed without adding the schema, you must run a script before starting the Administration Server. The script creates database tables, starts the server, and loads the administration policy.
To install the policy database schema:
Change to the BEA_HOME\ales32-admin\bin directory.
Important: For UNIX and Linux, all scripts in the directory must have execute permission.
Run install_ales_schema.bat | sh followed by the database administrator username and password.
How Administration Server processes run depends on the platform:
On Windows, the Administration Server and SCM are installed as services with a default startup type of manual. To configure the services for automatic startup, use the Windows Services applet.
On UNIX, the Administration Server and SCM are registered with the UNIX init subsystem and not configured to start automatically. To configure them for automatic startup, the system administrator must link it into the correct init runlevel, as shown below.
To start the Administration Server and SCM, use the methods described in
Table 5-1:
Table 5-1 Starting the Administration Server and SCM
Platform
Description
Windows
ADMINISTRATION SERVER Open the Start menu and select Programs>Oracle Entitlements Server>Administration Server>Start Server.
To use a command line, go to the server’s bin directory and enter WLESadmin.bat start or WLESadmin.bat console.
WLESadmin.bat console starts server processes in separate console windows.
SCM Open the Start menu and select Programs>Oracle Entitlements Server>Service Control Manager>Start SCM.
To use a command line, go to go to the server’s bin directory and enter WLESscm.bat start or WLESscm.bat console.
WLESscm.bat console starts SCM processes in separate console windows.
UNIX or Linux
ADMINISTRATION SERVER Enter WLESadmin.sh start or WLESadmin.sh console.
Either command starts Administration Server processes as daemon processes and provides the same results.
SCM Go to the SCM’s bin directory and enter WLESscm.sh start or WLESscm.sh console.
Either command starts SCM processes as daemon processes and provides the same results.
Startup Option on Linux Reboots
To allow the SCM and Administration Server to start up after a reboot on Linux, set them to start on runlevel3 (non-graphical runlevel) and runlevel5 (graphical runlevel). To do this, run the following commands as root:
chkconfig --level 35 WLESscm on chkconfig --level 35 WLESadmin on
Stop the Administration Server and SCM as described in Table 5-2.
Table 5-2 Stopping the Administration Server and SCM
Platform
Description
Windows
ADMINISTRATION SERVER Open the Start menu and select Programs>Oracle Entitlements Server>Administration Server>Stop Server.
To use a command line, go to the server’s bin directory and enter WLESadmin.bat stop.
SCM Open the Start menu and select Programs>Oracle Entitlements Server>Service Control Manager>Stop SCM.
To use a command line, go to the SCM’s bin directory and enter WLESscm.bat stop.
UNIX or Linux
ADMINISTRATION SERVER Go to the server’s bin directory and enter WLESadmin.sh stop.
SCM To use a command line, go to the SCM’s bin directory and enter WLESscm.sh stop.
Starting the Administration Tools
Installation of the Administration Server provides two administration tools:
The Entitlements Administration Application allows you to manage organizations, applications, resources, identities, roles, and policies. It does not include the ability to manage SSM configurations.
The Administration Console must be used to manage SSM configurations and all policies defined in previous versions of this product.
You should set up additional administrative users and configure an Authentication provider to authenticate them with an external source (e.g., LDAP or Microsoft Windows NT). As of this release, administrative users can be established at the organization and application levels. What users can see and do in the Entitlements Administration Application depends on their assignment to organization and/or application administrator roles. See the Entitlements Administration Application help system.
