Starting Oracle Demantra

This chapter covers the following topics:

Starting the Web-based Products

To verify the installation of the Web-based products, start the Web server and log onto each Web product.

Starting the Web Server

For details on how to start the Web server, refer to your Web server documentation.

Logging onto the Web-based Products

To verify that the Web-based products are running correctly, log onto some of the URLs listed in Demantra URLs. For a short test, perform the following:

  1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox and enter the URL for the Demantra Local Application.

  2. In the Log On dialog box, enter the component owner username dm and its password.

  3. You can change the application language display from the drop-down field. Demantra remembers your language choice for future use on the same computer.

  4. Click Login.

  5. In My Worksheets, click any worksheet. This launches the Oracle Demantra Worksheets Window applet.

  6. Optionally, click Yes if you want the system to always trust content from this source.

Demantra URLs

You can use uniform resource locators (URLs) to access most Oracle Demantra functions.

See the Oracle Demantra Implementation Guide for more information.

Starting the Desktop Products

You should also try starting at least one desktop product (such as the Business Modeler) to be sure it comes up. For example, if you chose to put product shortcuts on the Startup menu when running the Demantra installer, do the following:

  1. On the Start menu, click Programs.

  2. Click Demantra > Demantra Spectrum release.

  3. Choose the required Oracle Demantra product.

  4. Enter user name and password of one of the component owners in the database (such as dm/password defined during installation).
