Starting the ATG Business Control Center

To start the ATG Business Control Center:

  1. Make sure the appropriate database is running. If you are evaluating ATG products on a local machine running Windows, you can start the SOLID database installed with ATG 9.3 by selecting Start > Programs > ATG 9.3 > ATG Content Administration > Start SOLID Server.

  2. Start the ATG products that you want to use with the ATG Business Control Center. For example, start ATG Content Administration or an ATG application such as ATG Merchandising. In all cases the ATG Business Control Center will be started automatically as part of this process. For detailed information, refer to the documentation for the appropriate ATG product.

    For evaluation purposes on a local Windows machine, you can start ATG Content Administration as follows: select Start > Programs > ATG 9.3 > ATG Content Administration > Start ATG 9.3.

  3. Point your Web browser to the server where the ATG Business Control Center is running. The URL takes the following form:

    http://hostname:port/atg/bcc

    where hostname is the name of the server, and port is the number of the port which that server uses for the ATG Business Control Center.

    http://anycorp.androcles:8080/atg/bcc

    If you are running the ATG Business Control Center on a local machine, enter the following URL:

    http://localhost:port/atg/bcc

    The default port numbers for JBoss, IBM WebSphere, and Oracle WebLogic are 8080, 9080, and 7001, respectively. See the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for details.

  4. When the ATG Business Control Center login dialog box appears, enter the login name and password defined in your ATG user profile. The fields are case sensitive. For evaluation purposes, or to set up profiles for other users, use the following login name and password:
