4 Post-Installation Tasks

4.1 Restart the Oracle WSM Server After a Basic Installation

After you have completed a Basic installation of Oracle WSM, start the Oracle WSM server by using the wsmadmin command-line tool.

On Windows

Open a command window and execute the following command:

C:\> ORACLE_HOME\owsm\bin\wsmadmin start

On Linux

Open a command window and execute the following command:

$ ORACLE_HOME/owsm/bin/wsmadmin.sh start

4.2 Perform Backup and Recovery

This is a good time to start backing up the files and to set up your backup and recovery strategy. See the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide for details.

4.3 Enable SSL

By default, most components are not configured for SSL. To enable SSL, see the SSL section in the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide.

4.4 Region and Language Settings

On Windows

Make sure the language setting of your account is consistent with the system default language. Based on the language setting, the NLS_LANG parameter is automatically defined in the Windows registry.After installation, do not change the system default language. Otherwise, the NLS_LANG parameter and the language setting will be inconsistent.

On Linux

Check the default locale and the NLS_LANG setting.

To make sure the default locale is set properly, verify that the LC_ALL or LANG environment variables are set with the appropriate values. To check the current setting, run the locale command:

prompt> locale

To check the NLS_LANG setting:

1. Make sure the value of the NLS_LANG environment variable is compatible with the default locale setting of the operating system. See the Oracle Application Server Globalization Guide for details, including a list of files that set this variable. You might need to edit the value of the NLS_LANG variable in these files.

2. Check that the NLS_LANG setting in the ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xmlfile is identical to the NLS_LANG environment variable.

Example: The NLS_LANG setting in the opmn.xml file might look something like this:

<environment>
    <variable id="TMP" value="/tmp"/>
    <variable id="NLS_LANG" value="JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16SJIS"/>
</environment>

4.5 Enable JSSO

If you need to use Oracle Web Services Manager with JSSO, you must perform the following steps after installation:

1. From the command line, change directory to $ORACLE_HOME/owsm/bin

2. Edit the file install.properties.

   Set install.sso.support to true.

There is a final step that includes running the wsmadmin deploy command. Once you have read the Oracle Web Services Manager Administrator's Guide and Oracle Web Services Manager Deployment Guide, you can perform the next step, which is described in "Enabling JSSO for the Oracle Web Services Manager Monitor" in Oracle Web Services Manager Deployment Guide.

4.6 What to Do Next

After installing Oracle Web Services Manager, you should read the Oracle Web Services Manager Administrator's Guide. Specifically, you should read the "Getting Started" chapter.
