7 Next Steps After Configuring Enterprise Data Quality

This chapter describes how to start using EDQ and is intended to help you become familiar with the main components of EDQ.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Logging Into EDQ
  
• The EDQ Launchpad
  

Logging Into EDQ

You can access the EDQ Launchpad and client applications by starting a supported browser and enter the following URL:

http://server_name:port_number/edq

where server_name is the name of the server onto which you installed EDQ and port_number is the HTTP or HTTPS port that your application server is running against (8001 on WebLogic Server by default, 8080 on Tomcat). If you deployed the application server to run against a different port, you should use that port number.

Enter your login credentials for the appropriate application server:

WebLogic Server Login

Use the WebLogic Server user that you created in Navigating the Domain Configuration Wizard Screens

Tomcat Login

Use the default EDQ administrator account dnadmin with the password dnadmin. You are prompted to change the password the first time you log in. This password must meet the default security standards.

The EDQ Launchpad

The Launchpad provides access to the EDQ client applications, services, and system management. The following may be displayed on the Launchpad when EDQ is installed:

Options	Description
Director	Starts the Director client application, which is the main configuration application.
Server Console	Allows you to perform the following tasks: Schedule jobs View current tasks View the event log View job results
Dashboard	Starts the Dashboard, where published data quality metrics are displayed.
Match Review	Starts the Match Review application, which allows users to view an overview of the reviews assigned to them and to launch the review application.
Case Management	Case Management is an application designed to support the manual investigation of results from data quality processes. It is also used as the main investigation application in Oracle Watchlist Screening, for both batch and real time screening results. Using Case Management, privileged users can manage and review matching results using highly configurable workflows with a comprehensive audit history of all investigation work.
Case Management Administration	Case Management Administration provides the following areas of functionality: Workflow Administration—allows you to create, edit, copy, import, export and delete workflows. Case Source Administration—allows you to import, export and delete case source definitions. Permission Administration—allows you to define and manage the data that users have permission to access.
Administration	This application allows a sufficiently privileged user to configure EDQ users, permission groups, password and security rules, extensions, functional packs, the applications that appear on the launchpad, and the ability to view and monitor sessions.
Web Services	Displays details of the web services configured in the EDQ server, and allows access to the web service tester.
Login	An explicit Login button in the upper right corner. Upon logging in the full list of pages available to the user is displayed. Once the user is logged in they have access to a user menu by clicking on their user name in the top right of the screen. This provides access to log out and change password functionality (change password is only shown if using an internal realm).
Change Password	Allows users to change their passwords. A user must log in with the existing password and then provide and confirm the new password. This option is not available when using a WebLogic Server.
Help	Allows you to retrieve information about how to use each EDQ application.

An Administrator can reconfigure the Launchpad to define the user applications and links that are displayed to users by using the Administration pages. For more information, see the Enterprise Data Quality Online Help.
