Installation

The Oracle Utilities Network Management System-ODIN Adapter is delivered as a single file:

$NMS_BASE/dist/install/nms-odin.ear.base.zip (NMS-ODIN adapter application)

The nms-install-config script is used to apply the adapter configuration changes and create the nms-odin.ear file, which can be deployed to the Oracle WebLogic Server (see “Software Configuration” for configuration instructions).

To avoid a negative performance impact on the main NMS application (cesejb.ear), it is recommended that the nms-odin.ear not be deployed on the same managed server where the cesejb.ear is deployed.

Adapter Installation Instructions for Oracle WebLogic Server

Create a Managed Server (Optional)

To simplify creation of a new managed server, you may clone an existing Oracle Utilities Network Management System managed server.

1. Log in to the WebLogic Server Administration Console.

Note: The URL for WebLogic will be http://hostname:port/console where hostname represents the DNS name or IP address of the Administration Server, and port represents the number of the port on which the Administration Server is listening for requests (port 7001 by default).

2. Click Lock & Edit.

3. In the Domain Structure tree, expand Environment, then select Servers to open the Summary of Servers page.

4. Select an Oracle Utilities Network Management System server in the Servers table and click Clone.

5. Click the link to the cloned server and edit the settings:

• On the General tab, change the Listen Port and SSL Listen Port to unique values.

Configure the Data Source for the Adapters Managed Server

The NMS-ODIN adapter needs read access to NMS database. It uses the data source with the JNDI name specified by the ‘config.datasource’ property in the $NMS_CONFIG/jconfig/build.properties file. You may configure a new JDBC data source or add the adapter managed server as a target to an existing Oracle Utilities Network Management System read/write data source.

Note: See "Configure Database Connectivity" in the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Installation Guide for information on creating JDBC data sources.

1. In the Domain Structure tree, expand Services, and then select Data Sources.

2. In the Data Sources table, click the data source name (either a new data source or an existing NMS data source) to open the Settings for JDBC_Data_Source_Name page.

3. Select the Targets tab.

4. Add the adapter managed server to the list of targets.

5. Click Save.

Deploy the Adapter

1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, select Deployments.

2. In the right pane, click Install.

3. In the Install Application Assistant, locate the nms-odin.ear file.

4. Click Next.

5. Select Install this deployment as an application.

6. Click Next.

7. Select the server to which you want to deploy the application.

Note: If you have not created additional Managed Servers or clusters, you will not see this assistant page.

8. Click Next.

9. Set the deployed name of the application to: nms-odin.

10. Click Next.

11. Review the configuration settings you have specified.

12. Click Finish to complete the installation.
