4 Configuring a Standalone Application Server

4.1 Installing Oracle WebLogic Server

The Agile PLM 9.3.3 application server component requires that Oracle WebLogic Server 12c be installed before running the Agile PLM 9.3.3 installer.

When installing Oracle WebLogic Server, choose the WebLogic Server component.

Note: The Coherence component is not required.

Please see the Oracle WebLogic Server installation documentation before installing.

4.1.1 What to Do Next

Install Agile PLM and its components by starting the Agile PLM installer and following the instructions in online help.

Note: When installing the Agile PLM application server component, you must select the same JDK used to install the WebLogic Server software. If you are using the AutoVue Server, you should install the AutoVue client libraries before deploying the application server and file managers. See the AutoVue for Agile PLM Installation and User Guide for instructions.

4.2 Starting and Testing the Agile PLM Application Server Connection

After you have installed and started the Agile PLM Application Server, you can test the connection using the application server listen ports configured during installation.

Important: It is important that you do not provide users with this URL. The port you specified during the Application Server installation may be non-standard and may not be appropriate for use by external or remote Agile Web clients. This URL is a direct connection to the Application Server, and it should be used only for testing the troubleshooting purposes.

To start and test the Agile PLM Application Server connection:

1. Start the Agile Application Server.

   Windows service: Start the Windows service AgilePLM.

   Windows command line: Choose Start > All Programs > Agile > Agile PLM > Start Agile Server. A command window may appear and this window must remain open but can be minimized.

   UNIX command line: Run the startAgile.sh script located in the AGILE_HOME/agileDomain/bin directory.

   Wait until the following message appears in the command window or application server log file before connecting: "Agile PLM Server Starting Up".

2. Open your browser and use the following URL to test the Agile Web client setup:

   http://application_server_hostname:port/virtual_path/PLMServlet

   
   

   Note: The URL is case-sensitive.

   
   

   A login window appears.

3. Enter the username and password.

   You can log in with the built-in Administrator account by typing admin for the user and the password you supplied as the password for the admin user in the password management screen during installation.

   The first time you log in to the application, it may take a while to load the information.
