5 Deploying the Mobile Clinical Research Associate Server Administration Application

This chapter details the deployment of the Mobile CRA Server Administration application. It includes the following sections:

• Section 5.1, "Verifying the Installation Package"

• Section 5.2, "Configuring Data Sources for Mobile Clinical Research Associate Server"

• Section 5.3, "Configuring Security for Mobile Clinical Research Associate Server"

• Section 5.4, "Using Single Sign On and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol for Mobile Clinical Research Associate Server"

• Section 5.5, "Deploying Mobile Clinical Research Associate Server Application"

• Section 5.6, "Verifying Deployment"

5.1 Verifying the Installation Package

You must validate the installation package before deploying. To validate, ensure that:

• The Install package is deployed as an Enterprise Archive file called Mobile CRA_AdminUI_v#.ear.

• The EAR file contains ADF related application files.

• The EAR file also includes the WAR file, which contains the actual web application.

• The file name contains the build version as mentioned in the Release Notes.

Note:

For deploying the Mobile CRA Server application, see Oracle WebLogic Administration Guide.

5.2 Configuring Data Sources for Mobile Clinical Research Associate Server

You need to configure the following data sources for the Mobile CRA application:

• jdbc/ae - Connects to the alerts schema and handles the alert generation.

• jdbc/mobileaq - Connects to the Oracle AQ schema and handles the asynchronous message handling of trip report.

• jdbc/mobilecda - Connects to the CDA schema and handles the CDA adapter related functionality.

• jdbc/mobilecra - Connects to the Mobile CRA server schema and handles the Mobile CRA server functionality.

• jdbc/mobilectms - Connects to the Mobile CRA admin schema and handles the trip report configuration and other admin UI related functionality.

The following steps explain how to create jdbc/mobilecda data source:

1. Within the Server Administration Console, select Data Sources under Services.

   Figure 5-1 Server Administration Console

   
   Description of "Figure 5-1 Server Administration Console"
   
   

   The Summary of JDBC Data Sources screen is displayed.

2. Select New and then select Generic Data Source from the drop-down list.

   Description of "Figure 5-2 Summary of JDBC Data Sources Screen"
   
   

   The Create a New JDBC Data Source screen is displayed.

3. Enter jdbc/mobilecda as the name and JNDI name to connect to MCRE_ADMIN schema.

   Description of "Figure 5-3 Creating a New JDBC Data Source Screen"
   
   

4. Select database driver as Oracle Driver (Thin XA) (versions: 9.0.1 and later).

   Note:

   In case the WebLogic Server version is 10.3.6.0 (the default is 10.3.5.0), jdbc/mobilecda should select Oracle's Driver (Thin) during the installation.
