Before you start working with Oracle Data Service Integrator development environment, you need to deploy your dataspace project on an Oracle WebLogic domain enabled for Oracle Data Service Integrator. Using Oracle WebLogic Server 10gR3, you can create users and groups for Oracle Data Service Integrator and manage their permissions.
Most of the other administrations tasks for Oracle Data Service Integrator can be performed through the Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console and therefore you may not need to launch the WebLogic Server Administration Console frequently. Table 2-1 lists the tasks that you can perform using Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console and the ones that you need to perform using Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

For more information about creating and configuring a new server for Oracle Data Service Integrator, refer to Post-Installation Tasks in Oracle Data Service Integrator Installation Guide:
This chapter describes the tasks that you can perform using Oracle Data Service Integrator Console and also provides steps to start and stop the WebLogic Server. It contains the following sections:
To start working with the Oracle Data Service Integrator development environment and to administer the WLS enabled for Oracle Data Service Integrator, you must first start WebLogic Server. Although you may not need to stop WebLogic Server frequently, it may be required in certain situations. This section describes how to start and stop WebLogic Server in a standalone WebLogic domain, after you have configured your Oracle WebLogic Server 10gR3.
Note: | If you are already running an instance of WebLogic Server that uses the same listener port as the one to be used by the server you are starting, you must stop the first server before starting the second server. |
The domain directory is <BEA_HOME>/user_projects/
domain_name
. An example could be c:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain
.
startWebLogic.cmd
(Windows) or startWebLogic.sh
(UNIX).The startup script displays a series of messages, finally displaying a message similar to the following:
<Dec 8, 2004 3:50:42 PM PDT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <000360> <Server started in RUNNING mode>
You can also start Oracle WebLogic Server through the Eclipse-based IDE for Oracle Data Service Integrator. To start the server:
To stop the WebLogic Server using the eclipse-based IDE, right-click the server listed in the Servers tab, as shown in Figure 2-1 and select Stop.
Alternatively, you can stop a WebLogic Server instance that is running a dataspace project from the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
The Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console is a web-based interface that enables you to administer and manage dataspace projects, access metadata, and configure security and caching policies.
Before you launch the Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console, make sure that the WebLogic Server is started. For more information about starting WebLogic Server, see Starting the Server on page 2-3. To launch Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console:
http://hostname
:port
/odsiconsole
hostname
is the machine name or IP address of the host serverport
is the address of the port on which the host server is listening for requests (7001 by default)For example, to start the Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console on a local instance of WebLogic Server (running on your computer), navigate to the following URL:
The default user name and password is weblogic/weblogic, respectively.
Note: | The discussion and examples in the following chapters of this book (Administration Guide) assume that you have: |
In case you need to launch the WebLogic Server Administration Console, click the WLS Console link on the top-right corner of Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console, as shown in Figure 2-3.
Note: | For more information about starting the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, refer to Starting the Administration Console section in Introduction to Oracle WebLogic Servers. |

This section provides details about using different components of the Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console. It includes the following topics:
You can use the navigation pane to view the navigation tree and all the data services, functions, and web services. The change center allows you lock and edit the configuration settings within the console and then save or discard changes depending on your requirement. Using the category-based tabs from the category list, you can view and manage the artifacts related to each tab, including the system administration tasks such as deployment of data services, importing and exporting data service JAR files, and auditing.You can also view metadata, manage caching, and configure security settings using the category-list.
Figure 2-4 displays the components of the navigation pane.
This section describes the functions of some of the components of the navigation pane in detail.
The change center feature in Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console is similar to the WebLogic Server Administration Console. It enables you to acquire a global lock over the console configuration, make one or more changes to the configuration, if required, and then activate or discard the changes. The configuration settings are edited in a transactional manner, therefore, only one user can acquire the lock to the console.
To acquire the lock and then activate or discard changes:
The change center feature is available only to the domain and admin entitlements for a resource configured for security in Oracle Data Service Integrator. Other Oracle Data Service Integrator entitlements cannot use the change center. For more information about user entitlements, refer to the Administrative Access Control section in Chapter 5, “Securing Oracle Data Service Integrator Resources.”
You do not need to acquire a lock to edit the configuration within the administration console in the following cases:
Based on the operations performed using the change center, the change center behavior may differ. Table 2-2 lists and describes the change center behavior in different situations:
For more information about using the change center, you can also refer to: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/intro/console.html
The pending change list displays the difference between the current session values and the core values. The dataspace artifacts that are created, updated, or deleted are displayed in the pending changelist. Pending changes are shown in the tree view, as shown in Figure 2-6, whereas the configuration changes are shown in the leaf node.
There are six categories in the Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console. The artifacts displayed in the workspace content area for a data service, function, or web service depend on the category-based tab that you select from the category list.
The workspace content area displays artifacts based on the tab selected in the category list and the node selected from the navigation tree. It consists of various options that enable you to view, search, configure, and audit Oracle Data Service Integrator resources. Figure 2-7 displays the workspace content area that is displayed when you log in to the console.
As illustrated in this figure, the workspace content area constitutes the following:
