Running BR*Tools Studio for the First TimeLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

Since BR*Tools Studio is designed as a client-server application, you need to start up BR*Tools Studio server first as described below.

Procedure

  1. In your BR*Tools Studio home directory, call:

    • UNIX

      csh server.sh

    • Windows

      server.cmd

    This script starts a web application server based on Oracle Containers for Java EE (OC4J), which serves as the runtime platform for the web application of BR*Tools Studio server.

    You need to run this command whenever you want to start the server for BR*Tools Studio in future.

  2. Log on to BR*Tools Studio server through a web browser from any client using the following URL:

    https://<host>:<port>/studio

    Note

    Once BR*Tools Studio server is available, a client logon window appears. Make sure that you have enabled pop-ups for this site so that the logon window is visible.

    You need to run this command whenever you want to start a client session with BR*Tools Studio.

    The client logon window provides you with a list of all instances currently maintained for administration with BR*Tools Studio. The only instance available directly after installation is the Server instance, with which you can maintain the server landscape.

  3. Log on to this instance with the Server Administrator user, called “Administrator,” and the password specified during installation.
  4. On the Landscape tab of the server administration, choose Start of the navigation path Server Next navigation step Startup End of the navigation path and follow the roadmap to start up the BR*Tools Studio server.

    You need to run this command whenever you want to start a client session with BR*Tools Studio.

    Note

    After startup, BR*Tools Studio server keeps running until an explicit shutdown call is made. We recommend you to keep the server up continuously to allow users to log on and enable the server to autonomously execute scheduled jobs.

  5. On the Landscape tab of the server administration, choose Start of the navigation path Instance Next navigation step Create End of the navigation path to add an initial database instance for administration with BR*Tools Studio.
  6. Log off from the server instance to return to the logon screen, and log on to the newly added database instance with the user and password specified during instance creation.

Results

The instance is now ready for administration with BR*Tools Studio.
