Build Manager Environment Creation

As a Build Manager you will use the Web Application Utility to configure the Rules Palette environment properties and the remote debugging Web Service.  When Rules Palette users create a new environment, you will need to provide them with the server name, port number, and three sets of user IDs and passwords.   The IDs and passwords needed are:

• palette user ID & password:  you will create this in the Rules Palette when you set-up user security.     

• database ID & password:  you can find this by contacting the person who set-up the database.

• IVS database ID & password:  you can find this by contacting the person who set-up the IVS database.

Web Application Utility

Log into the Web Application Utility using the following URL:  http://host:port/PaletteConfig/.  The host (server name) and port should be the same as the host and port of the application (OIPA or NBUW) you are using.  The default user name is admin and the default password is admin.  You need to reset both of these the first time you log into the utility.
