Overview
|
You can manage Oracle server processes using the Oracle Enterprise Gateway
Dashboard. Managed processes can include Enterprise Gateway, Policy Center, and Service Monitor
processes. For example, you can view process details, change a process owner, edit its
connection details, or apply tags. In addition, if the Policy Studio is connected to a Policy Center
server, you can add and remove multiple Enterprise Gateways in the managed Process List.
Important Note:
To display the Policy Center server process in the Policy Studio, you must first enable the
Show Management Services checkbox in the Policy Studio Preferences
dialog. In the Policy Studio main menu, select Windows -> Preferences.
For more details, see the topic on
Policy Studio Preferences.

Viewing Process Details
|
In the Oracle Enterprise Gateway Dashboard, when you select a process in the
list on the left, the process details are displayed in the following tabs on the right:
Summary |
Includes the process type, host, process status (for example, Up or
Down ), configuration status (for example, Deployed or
Out of Sync ), active tags (for example, DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION ),
version, last changed by, and owner. You can also click the
Connection Details link at the bottom to view details such as the URL,
user name, and password for the process.
|
Advanced |
Displays the component configuration stores that are deployed on the process (for
example, Core Configuration, User Store, and Certificate Store). Details include
revision number, created by, and log entry.

Adding a New Process
|
If Policy Studio is connected to the Policy Center server, you can add new processes to the list
of deployed processes. You can not add new processes if Policy Studio is connected to the Enterprise Gateway
or Service Monitor server.
When connected to a Policy Center server, to add a new process deployment, perform the following
steps:
- Click the Add Process button at the top right of the
Process List.
- In the Add a New Process dialog, complete the
following fields:
Host |
Specify the host to connect to in this field. The default is
localhost .
|
Port |
Specify the port to connect on in this field.
The default Enterprise Gateway port is 8090 .
The default Enterprise Gateway port is 8060 .
|
Username |
Policy Studio must authenticate to the Process using HTTP basic authentication.
Specify the user name for this purpose.
|
Password |
Specify the password for this user.
|
-
If you wish to explicitly set the URL on which the process is managed, click
Advanced, and enter the URL for the process. The default URL
for the Enterprise Gateway process is
http://HOST:8090/runtime/management/ManagementAgent , where
HOST is the IP address or hostname on which the Process is running.
For more details, see
Show Management Services.
- Click OK.
|
Removing a Process
|
You can remove a process from the list of deployed processes. To remove a process,
perform the following steps:
- Select the process in the Process List.
- Right-click, and select Remove Process.
- Click Yes.
This removes the process from the Process List permanently. The process
is no longer contacted, and continues to run with its most recently deployed configuration.
|
Changing a Process Owner
|
You can transfer ownership of a process to another user. To change a process owner,
perform the following steps:
- On the Summary tab, beside the Owner
field, click Change.
- In the Change Owner dialog, select a user from the
drop-down list.
- Click OK.
|
Editing Connection Details
|
You can update the deployment URL and the user credentials used by the Enterprise Gateway to
authenticate to the process. To edit the connection details, perform the following steps:
- On the Summary tab, click the Connection
link, and specify your updates in the appropriate fields. For example, the default URL for
the Enterprise Gateway process is
http://localhost:8090/runtime/management/ManagementAgent . You might
need to update this if you are using a different management port instead of
8090 . For details on configuring these fields, see
Adding a New Process.
- Click Save.
|
Versioning Process Configuration
|
If you have edited an active process configuration, and deployed updates to the server
without versioning, the Configuration Status for the selected process
is displayed as Out of Sync on the Summary tab.
Note:
By default, the entire process configuration is versioned as a single unit. You can
also select to version the process configuration as individual components. For more
details, see the Version Settings in the
Policy Studio Preferences.
To version the configuration of a selected process, perform the following steps:
-
Click the Version Configuration link on the right of the
Summary tab. Alternatively, right-click the process in the
Process List, and select Version Configuration.
-
Enter a Comment to version the configuration in the
Versioning dialog.
-
If you selected to version the process configuration as individual components in the
Policy Studio Preferences, select whether to apply this comment to all
modified components (the default), or to apply individual comments to selected modified
components.
-
Click Yes to finish.
The Configuration Status for the selected process is now displayed as
Deployed on the Summary tab, and the Version
Configuration link is no longer displayed. On the Deployment Details
tab, the Revision number of the components that were out of sync is updated
to the latest version, and the Comment entered in the Versioning
dialog is also displayed.
When editing an active process configuration, you can also version deployed updates directly
by clicking the Version button in the toolbar (alternatively, press
F7) to display the Versioning dialog.
|
Deploying Configuration to a Process
|
You can select a process and view the versions of the component configuration stores that are
currently running on that process. You can also change the currently deployed versions, and
deploy updates to a server process or multiple processes. For more details, see the topic on
Managing Configuration Profiles.
|
Deploying Configuration Tags
|
A configuration tag is a label that specifies a collection of Enterprise Gateway
component configuration versions. You can select a tag and deploy it on a Enterprise Gateway process.
You can also deploy tags on selected component configuration versions only. For more details,
see the topic on Deploying Configuration Tags.
