Access the Metadata Browser

You can access the Metadata Browser component in a web browser when your System Administrator (SA) installs the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Application and configures the required user groups and roles. The SA provides the link through which you can open the OFSAA login window in a web browser in the following URL format:

http(s): <IP Address of the Web Server > :<servlet port>/<context name>/login.jsp.

You can also log in to the application with the hostname instead of the IP address.

To log in to OFSAA and access the metadata browser, follow these steps:

  1. 1. Enter the OFSAA URL in a web browser. The OFSAA Login window is displayed.
