This chapter contains the following topics:
Section 5.1, "State of Oracle Application Server Instances After Installation"
Section 5.2, "Passwords for Oracle Application Server Components"
After installation, the components that you have configured are started.
You can view the Welcome page and the Application Server Control page in a browser. The URLs for these pages are displayed in the last screen of the Oracle Universal Installer. You can view the contents of the last screen in the file ORACLE_HOME/install/setupinfo.txt
.
You can use scripts or you can use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control to start and stop Oracle Application Server components. For details, refer to the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide.
By default, all passwords for Oracle Application Server components are set to be the same as the Oracle Application Server instance password. For security reasons, you should change the passwords of the various components to have different values.
Refer to the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide and the component guides in the Oracle Application Server Documentation Library for details on how to alter the passwords for the components you have installed.
After installation would be a good time to start backing up the files, and to set up your backup and recovery strategy. For details, refer to the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide.
By default, most components are not configured for SSL. To enable SSL, refer to the SSL section in the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide.
If you installed Oracle Application Server in a non-English language environment, please check your settings as described in these sections:
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:
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.
Check that the NLS_LANG setting in the ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml
file 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>
If you did not configure a component during installation (that is, if you did not select the component in the Select Configuration Options screen), then you can configure some components after installation. Some components have dependencies that you have to complete before you can configure the component.
After installing Oracle Application Server, you should read the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide. Specifically, you should read the "Getting Started After Installing Oracle Application Server" chapter.
You should also perform a complete Oracle Application Server environment backup after installing Oracle Application Server. This enables you to restore a working environment in case something goes wrong. For details on how to perform a complete Oracle Application Server environment backup, refer to the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide.
You should also perform a complete Oracle Application Server environment backup after each successful patchset upgrade and after each successful configuration change.
