About User-Managed Graph Studio

The Graph Studio web interface provides graph tools for modeling, creating, exploring, visualizing, and interacting with property graphs. It also enables the graph server administrator to efficiently track, manage, and monitor user sessions and memory consumption for graphs.

The user-managed version of Graph Studio requires the graph server (PGX). The graph server can be deployed in embedded mode or in Apache Tomcat or Oracle WebLogic Server.

Accessing Graph Studio

In order to access Graph Studio, you must install the graph server (PGX).

The graph server can be deployed in embedded mode or in Apache Tomcat or Oracle WebLogic Server.

1. Start the graph server in your installation.

   • See Installing Oracle Graph Server for more information on using the rpm installation.

   • See Deploying Oracle Graph Server to a Web Server for more information on graph server deployment to a web server.

2. Launch Graph Studio using one of the following URLs.

   • For rpm installation: https://localhost:7007/graphstudio/

   • For Apache Tomcat Server: https://localhost:8080/graphstudio

   • For Oracle WebLogic Server: https://localhost:7001/graphstudio

   • You can also access Graph Studio from https://<server_host>/. This applies to rpm, Apache Tomcat, and Oracle WebLogic Server deployments.

   • If localhost in the preceding URLs does not resolve correctly in your system, then this can lead to errors when you attempt to access Graph Explorer. To avoid this issue, add entries for localhost in the /etc/hosts file in your system. For example:

     127.0.0.1   localhost
     ::1         localhost

     Oracle Graph Studio login screen opens as shown:
