5 Next Steps

This chapter provides a quick-step guide for the steps that you need to perform after successfully installing Oracle Communications Service Broker. It also contains information about setting up multiple servers on a single physical server for a test environment:

• Quick Steps: Starting an Administration Console and Setting Up Domains

  • Starting the Stand-Alone Administration Console

• Installing a Multi-Server System on a Single Physical Server

For detailed information on configuring Service Broker, see Oracle Communications Service Broker Configuration Guide.

For detailed information on managing Service Broker, see Oracle Communications Service Broker System Administration User's Guide.

Quick Steps: Starting an Administration Console and Setting Up Domains

The following are the general steps that you perform after installing Service Broker:

1. If necessary, run the Service Broker installer again for each additional Processing Server and Signaling Server that you need to install.

   See "Installing Oracle Communications Service Broker" for instructions.

2. Create your Processing Domain and Signaling Domain.

   See "Managing Domains" in Oracle Communications Service Broker System Administrator's Guide for instructions on creating domains.

3. Map custom names that you assigned to Signaling and Processing Servers to server names required by Service Broker. See "Mapping Custom Server Names to Service Broker Server Names" in Oracle Communications Service Broker Configuration Guide.

4. Set a Service Broker domain name. See "Setting a Service Broker Domain Name" in Oracle Communications Service Broker Configuration Guide.

5. Join the Processing and Signaling Domains. See “Managing Clusters” in Oracle Communications Service Broker Administration Guide.

6. Configure security to provide access privileges and password-enabled access to the Web Administration Console server and the Service Broker servers.

   See “Configuring Security” in Oracle Communications Service Broker System Administrator's Guide for instructions.

7. Start the stand-alone Administration Console.

   See "Starting the Stand-Alone Administration Console" for instructions.

8. Define your Processing Servers and Signaling Servers by specifying their names and port numbers in the domain configuration. See "Managing Domain Servers" in Oracle Communications Service Broker Configuration Guide.

9. Start each Processing Server and Signaling Server. See “Starting and Stopping Processing Servers and Signaling Servers” in Oracle Communications Service Broker System Administrator's Guide.

10. Configure the following components:

    • Interworking Modules (IMs), Signaling server Units (SSUs), and the Orchestration Engine (OE).

      See Oracle Communications Service Broker Configuration Guide for instructions.

    • (Optional) The SNMP service for sending SNMP traps to an external management system.

      See “Sending Traps to External Management Systems” in Oracle Communications Service Broker Integration Guide.

Starting the Stand-Alone Administration Console

You run the stand-alone Administration Console from the machine on which it is installed.

To start the stand-alone Administration Console:

1. Open a command line shell.

2. Change to the Oracle_home/axia/admin_console directory.

3. Enter the following command:

   ./start.sh Domain_configuration_directory

   where Domain_configuration_directory is the path to the domain configuration directory.

See Oracle Communications Service Broker System Administrator's Guide for more information about starting a stand-alone Administration Console and using the Web Administration Console.

Installing a Multi-Server System on a Single Physical Server

WARNING:

This type of installation is only supported for non-production systems for test and evaluation.

The steps in this section assume that you have already installed an Administration Console and a single server under the directory Oracle_home.

To create a multi-server domain on a single physical server, repeat the instructions below for each additional server:

1. Create a new server directory for each server you want to add.

   Reusing the same directory will cause conflicts.

   It is recommend that you create the directories at the same level as the installed server directory. For example:

   Oracle_home/axia/new_server_directory

2. Copy the contents of the installed server directory to each new server directory that you added.

   The default installed server directory is:

   Oracle_home/axia/managed_server

3. Define each server in the domain configuration by specifying its name and port number. See Oracle Communications Service Broker User's Guide for more information.

When you start a server, make sure to use a separate command shell for each server.

The following tables show examples of a domain with three servers.

• Table 5-1 outlines the directory structure.

• Table 5-2 outlines the corresponding server configurations for the domain.

• Table 5-3 shows the start command and parameters for each server.

Note how the name of the server in the server configuration for the domain corresponds to the name given as a parameter when starting the server.

Table 5-1 Example Directory Structure for Multiple Servers on a Single Physical Server

Description	Sub-directory under Oracle Home
Administration Console	axia/admin_console
Default server installation directory Use as the source when creating the directories for the new servers.	axia/managed_server
First added server directory	axia/srv1
Second added server directory	axia/srv2
Third added server directory	axia/srv3
Directory where the domain configuration is located	axia/domain

Table 5-2 Example Server Configuration for Multiple Servers on a Single Physical Server

Name	Host	Port	Admin port	JMX Port	JMX Registry
server1	localhost	9001	8901	10003	10103
server2	localhost	9002	8902	10004	10104
server3	localhost	9003	8903	10005	10105

Table 5-3 Example Server Start Commands for Multiple Servers on a Single Physical Server

For the Server In the Directory	Use This Command To Start the Server
	From the server's directory	When using the Domain Web server
srv1	start.sh server1 file:../domain/initial.zip	start.sh server1 http://somewebserver:9001/initial.zip
srv2	start.sh server2 file:../domain/initial.zip	start.sh server2 http://somewebserver:9002/initial.zip
srv3	start.sh server3 file:../domain/initial.zip	start.sh server3 http://somewebserver:9003/initial.zip
