To be able to administer your application through ATG Dynamo Server Admin, you must specify the DafEar.Admin module when you run the application assembler. For example:

runAssembler QuincyFunds.ear –m DSSJ2EEDemo DafEar.Admin

Note: The DafEar.Admin module must precede any custom modules that are included in the module list.

The ATG Dynamo Server Admin user interface is included in the EAR file as a web application, atg_admin.war. This WAR file includes all pages that comprise ATG Dynamo Server Admin . Its web.xml file declares a NucleusProxyServlet that points to the Nucleus component /atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AdminHandler:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>AdminProxyServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>atg.nucleus.servlet.NucleusProxyServlet</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>proxyServletPath</param-name>
    <param-value>/atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AdminHandler</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>AdminProxyServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

In this configuration, the ContextPath is /dyn and the ServletPath is /admin, so the URL for accessing the ATG Dynamo Server Admin server is:

http://{hostname}:{port}/dyn/admin/

To access ATG Dynamo Server Admin, use the listen port for your application server. For example, if an Oracle ATG Web Commerce application runs on JBoss with a listen port of 8080, you can access ATG Dynamo Server Admin on your machine at http://localhost:8080/dyn/admin.

Note: Your database must be running in order for you to use the Administration UI. If necessary, you can override this requirement by copying /atg/dynamo/security/AdminUserAuthority.properties from the <ATG10dir>\DAS\config\config.jar file to <ATG10dir>\home\localconfig\atg\dynamo\security.
