7 Using Cloud Control with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

This chapter contains the following topics:

7.1 Additional Information for Cloud Control

For additional information, refer to these Cloud Control resources:

  • Enterprise Manager Documentation

    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E63000_01/index.htm

    The above Oracle web site includes HTML and PDF versions of these documents:

    • Enterprise Manager Concepts

    • Administrator's Guide

    • Basic Installation Guide

    • Advanced Installation and Configuration Guide

    • Administrator's Guide for Software and Server Provisioning and Patching

    • Oracle Enterprise Manager List of Books

7.2 Using Cloud Control for the First Time

The Cloud Control console provides support for creating and managing Cloud Control administrator accounts. The Cloud Control administrators you create and manage in the Cloud Control console are granted privileges and roles to log in to the Cloud Control console and to manage specific target types and to perform specific management tasks.

During installation, these tasks are performed automatically:

  • A default Super Administrator SYSMAN account is created with the password you specify.

  • The SYSMAN account is automatically configured to receive email notifications, if you provide the email notification settings during installation. Email notifications are set up with default Notification Rules for critical conditions.

After installation, you can immediately log in to the Cloud Control console with the SYSMAN username and your password to perform management tasks. The next step is to create a new Super Administrator account to monitor and manage the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne targets.

Note:

The SYSMAN account owns the database schema containing the Management Repository and should not be used after the initial log in.

7.3 Accessing the Cloud Control Console

To access Cloud Control, use the syntax of one of these URLs:

https://<Oracle Management Service_hostname>.<domain>:<port>/em

For example:

https://machine_host.company.com:7799/em

7.4 Cloud Control Home Page

On Select Enterprise Manager Home, you can choose a grid home page from the options shown on this screen. If these options do not match your job profile or role, use SYSMAN > Welcome Page and select one of the options displayed to make any other page in Enterprise Manager as your home page. Alternately, you can also use SYSMAN > Set Current Page as My Home to select any other Enterprise Manager page as your Home Page. For instructions on making the JD Edwards Domain your home page in Enterprise Manager, refer to the Tip in the section in this chapter entitled: Section 7.7, "JDE EnterpriseOne Domain Home Page".

      For example, enter dev_env.

    • Enterprise Manager Agent Host Machine

      Enter the machine name on which the Enterprise Manager agent is installed. For example, enter denlx01.

      Note:

      It is recommended that you type the machine name in the field instead of using the search button to locate the machine name.
    • Server Manager Host

      Enter the fully qualified machine name of your Server Manager host. For example, enter denv030.mlab.jdedwards.com.

    • Server Manager HTTP Port

      Enter the HTTP port that will be used to connect to Server Manager. The default value is 8999.

    • Server Manager JMX Port

      Enter the JMX port that will be used to connect to Server Manager. The default value is 14501.

    • Server Manager Admin User

      The default value, which should not be changed, is jde_admin.

    • Server Manager Admin Password

      Enter a valid value for the password of your Server Manager administrator.

  4. Click the OK button to add the domain.
