Quickstart Overview

This chapter provides brief, high-level instructions for installing AquaLogic Pages. It is intended to quickly guide experienced administrators through the installation procedure.

This chapter covers:

The organization of this section maps directly to detailed instructions in Installing Pages.

 

Creating the Pages Database

This section describes how to set up the Pages database. It contains the following sections:

Creating a Microsoft SQLServer 2000 Database

  1. Create the Pages database user with the name and password you provisioned when you completed the Installation and Configuration Worksheets for AquaLogic Pages. Specify SQL Server Authentication.
  2. Create the Pages database with the name you provisioned when you completed the Installation and Configuration Worksheets for AquaLogic Pages.
  3. In the Pages database user properties, grant public and db_owner database roles to the Pages database.
  4. In the Pages database properties, grant all permissions to the Pages database user.

For more information on these steps, see Creating the Pages Database in Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

Creating a Microsoft SQLServer 2005 Database

  1. Create the Pages database user with the name and password you provisioned when you completed the Installation and Configuration Worksheets for AquaLogic Pages. Specify SQL Server Authentication.
  2. Create the Pages database with the name you provisioned when you completed the Installation and Configuration Worksheets for AquaLogic Pages.
  3. Grant the Pages database user the dbo server role.
  4. Create a new schema with the name of the Pages database user.
  5. In the Pages database user properties, map the Pages database user to the schema you created.

For more information on these steps, see Creating the Pages Database in Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

Creating an Oracle Database

  1. In the portal database instance, create the Pages tablespace with the name you provisioned when you completed the Installation and Configuration Worksheets for AquaLogic Pages and configure the tablespace to Automatically extend data file.
  2. Create the Pages schema user with the name and password you provisioned when you completed the Installation and Configuration Worksheets for AquaLogic Pages. Grant the Pages schema user the Resource role and default ownership of the Pages tablespace.

For more information on these steps, see Creating the Pages Database in Oracle.

 

Installing the Pages Components

There are several components involved in a Pages deployment:

The components can be installed on different hosts, in any order; however, you should not start any of the components until all components are installed. For details on provisioning hosts for the various Pages components, see the Deployment Guide for BEA AquaLogic User Interaction.

Note: In a typical deployment the Pages Application is installed on a different computer than the Pages Portal Extensions and the Image Service Files.
  1. Log in as the local Administrator and double-click ALPages_v1-0_mp2.exe. For more information, see Launching the Pages Installer.
  2. Complete the installer wizard pages. The installer prompts you for specific information about your system and configuration. For detailed instructions on responding to the installer wizard pages, see Completing the Installer Wizard Pages.
  3. If you are using WebLogic, after installing the Pages Portal Extensions, you must redeploy the portal deployment in the WebLogic console. To redeploy the portal:
    1. Open the WebLogic console.
    2. Update, or delete and re-add, the portal deployment for the install_dir\webapp\portal.ear file.

 

Verifying the Repository Connection Settings

Use the Configuration Manager to verify that the Repository Connection settings are correct.

  1. If you were not able to navigate to the Configuration Manager by clicking the link in the installer, navigate to https://localhost:12345/cm/ui/cm.jsf (replacing localhost with the name of the computer that hosts the Pages application, and replacing 12345 with the port number you specified during installation).
  2. Log in as Administrator with the password you specified in the installer.
  3. Click AquaLogic Pages.
  4. Verify the values.
  5. If any of the values are incorrect, click the name of the associated page (Repository or Application Settings) to display the editable fields. Correct the values and click Save.

For more information, see Verifying the Configuration Settings.

 

Starting the BEA AquaLogic Pages Service

Use the Windows Services console to set the BEA AquaLogic Pages service to start automatically and start it. For more information, see Starting the BEA AquaLogic Pages Service.

 

Registering Pages with the Portal

If you are going to access Pages through AquaLogic Interaction, you need to register Pages with the portal, then modify experience definitions and custom navigation in the portal.

Use the Migration - Import Utility in the portal to register the Pages objects located in the migration package. The migration package is installed on the computer that hosts Pages, in install_dir\pages\1.0\serverpackages (for example, C:\bea\alui\pages\1.0\serverpackages\pagesobjects.pte). For more information, see Registering Pages with the Portal.

 

Registering Pages with AquaLogic Ensemble

If you are going to access Pages through AquaLogic Ensemble, register Pages as a resource in Ensemble. For more information, see Registering Pages with AquaLogic Ensemble.
