The Advanced Management Console Components and Installation Steps diagram describes the components of the Advanced Management Console and the installation sequence:

  1. Install a database to store all the data collected by the Advanced Management Console . The following database management systems are supported: MySQL 5.x, Oracle 12c, and Oracle 11g.

  2. Install a WebLogic server to run Advanced Management Console . Exact steps how to install it depend on the type of WebLogic installer used. For example, if it is installed using a standard Oracle installer, it shows an interactive wizard that guides you through the installation process. Development installer is just a .zip file that you need to extracted to a local disk, and then a call a configuration script.

    After you have installed the WebLogic Server, you need to create a new domain, by using the oracle_common/common/bin/config.sh|cmd script. Advanced Management Console documentation contain sample instructions about creating and configuring WebLogic Server domain to run Advanced Management Console , including WebLogic machines, servers, and data source. For more information, see Oracle WebLogic Server Installation Example.

  3. Deploy the Advanced Management Console to WebLogic Server. For example, from the WebLogic Administration Console, which is usually available using the following URL: http://server:7001/console (the port can be configured), you can deploy the Advanced Management Console . Exact URL for the current environment is shown as the last step in WebLogic Server domain configuration wizard.

  4. Install the Advanced Management Console agents on to all the desktops that are managed by Advanced Management Console . You can download the agent installer from amcwebui, for example, https://wls-hostname:port/amcwebui, Configuration tab > Agent Bundles sub-tab. This installer is wired to the Advanced Management Console server where it is downloaded from, so it cannot be used to install an agent to work with another Advanced Management Console server.

    The agent installer bundle is a .zip file that you must extracted to a disk, and then run bin/AMCAgent.exe -install to install the agent as a Windows service. This action requires administrator privileges.

    As an optional step, before you install AMCAgent.exe -install, create a AMCUser.properties file in the conf directory, and edit it to provide information about desktop owner. File template is available in the same folder. This optional step is only required, if the Advanced Management Console is used to manage other platforms than Windows.

  5. The amcwebui is a way to configure Advanced Management Console , view collected Java data, and manage desktops. Enter https://server:port/amcwebui in the browser to access this amcwebui. HTTP is not supported.

    The very first time the Advanced Management Console is loaded, the Advanced Management Console prompts to initialize the server by specifying certain configuration options (such as the Java Usage Tracker listener port) and administrator user credentials. After initialization, the Advanced Management Console shows a login dialog box.
