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 Note

    End of the 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   Server   Startup   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 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.

    End of the note.

  5. On the Landscape tab of the server administration, choose   Instance   Create   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.

Result

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