To start the Business Control Center:
Make sure the appropriate database is running and correctly configured. Refer to the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for more information. If you are evaluating ATG products on a local machine running Windows, you can start the MySQL database installed with Oracle ATG Web Commerce by selecting Start > Programs > ATG 10.2 > Tools > Start MySQL Server.
Assemble and start the ATG products and modules that you want to use with the Business Control Center. The BIZUI module is required to run the Business Control Center, so the assembly list must contain a product or module that calls BIZUI, for example ATG Content Administration or an application that is launched through the Business Control Center, such as Oracle ATG Web Commerce Merchandising. The Business Control Center is started automatically as part of this process.
In order to enable Preview, the
runAssemblercommand must include thelayer Previewswitch. For examplerunAssembler –layer Preview –m PubPortletMyVersionedAppMyPreviewAppThe
PubPortletmodule includes most of the functionality required to perform basic ATG Content Administration tasks, and it calls a number of other modules that support the Business Control Center, including BIZUI.For general information on assembling applications, including a basic description of ATG platform modules, refer to the ATG Platform Programming Guide.
Note: If you use CIM to set up your products, applications are assembled automatically according to your CIM choices. To run ATG 10.2, start your application server and specify the server you created through CIM. This process automatically runs the ATG application that you used CIM to assemble and deploy.
For more information about starting ATG 10.2, see the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.
Point your Web browser to the server where the Business Control Center is running. The URL takes the following form:
http://<hostname>:<port>/atg/bccwhere
<hostname>is the name of the server, and<port>is the number of the port which that server uses for the Business Control Center.http://anycorp.androcles:8080/atg/bccIf you are running the Business Control Center on a local machine, enter the following URL:
http://localhost:<port>/atg/bccThe 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.
When the Business Control Center login dialog box appears, enter the login name and password defined in your ATG user profile.
Default User Profiles
The following default user profiles are provided for applications that use the Business Control Center. These profiles are designed to allow administrators to perform initial setup tasks such as creating profiles for other users. They have the following login names:
admin-- provides access to most areas of the Business Control Center.merchandising-- provides access to the Oracle ATG Web Commerce Merchandising interface.service-- provides access to Service Administration.
There are no default passwords for these accounts. Your organization sets the passwords in one of the following ways:
Through CIM. During the post-installation setup process, CIM prompts you to set the passwords for the default profiles that your environment requires.
Through the ACC. If you do not use CIM to set up your system, you must define passwords for the default profiles through the ACC. Important: The default profiles are internal user profiles. You must include the
DSS.InternalUsers.ACCmodule in your assembled application to be able to access and edit these profiles in the ACC. For more information on editing profiles through the ACC, refer to the ATG Personalization Guide for Business Users.
