This chapter provides an overview of Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) system administration tasks.
As an OSM system administrator, you can perform the following tasks:
Install and configure OSM.
Monitor and manage OSM. See "Monitoring and Managing OSM" for more information.
Read OSM log messages. See "OSM Log Messages" for more information.
Troubleshoot OSM. See "Troubleshooting OSM" for more information.
Configure the task processor. See "Configuring the Task Processor" for more information.
Partition the OSM Database schema. See "Managing the OSM Database Schema" for more information.
Import, export, purge, and migrate data and metadata. See "Exporting and Importing OSM Schema Data" for more information.
Ensuring the appropriate security for the OSM application is a very important system administration task. Ensure that you read OSM Security Guide for information about securing your OSM instances.
Use the following programs for OSM system administration:
Use the Oracle WebLogic Server Console to do the following:
Start and stop server components
Monitor system components
Read log files
Manage security
Use the XML Import/Export application to do the following:
Export and import the metadata used for defining the order model
Purge orders from the database
Validate the OSM data model
Create a graphical representation of a data model
Add or remove users from workgroups
Purge data from the database
Migrate data
Note:
Although these functions can be done using the XML Import/Export application, Oracle Communications Design Studio is the preferred application for executing these functions.Table 1-1 shows the placeholders used in this guide to refer to directories related to the OSM application.
Table 1-1 Placeholders Used in This Guide
Placeholder | Directory Description |
---|---|
OSM_home |
The directory into which OSM was installed. This directory contains the SDK directory (if the SDK was installed) and various installation-related files. |
MW_home |
The location where Oracle Fusion Middleware was installed. This directory contains the base directory for WebLogic Server and the user_projects directory, among other files and directories. |
WLS_home |
The base directory for the WebLogic Server core files. It is located in the MW_home directory, for example, MW_home/wlserver. |
domain_home |
The directory which contains the configuration for the domain into which OSM is installed. The default location is MW_home/user_projects/domains/domain_name but it is frequently set to some other directory at installation. |
