General Information

Oracle Web Server Manager will display a network's available Application Servers in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Navigator and enable their management via the Oracle Application Manager pages.

Requirements

On the management console machine, Oracle Web Server Manager requires: Oracle Enterprise Manager and a web browser.

On the server node (managed node), Oracle Web Server Manager requires: Oracle Web Server 2.0 or later and an Oracle 8.0.3 or greater Intelligent Agent.

Additionally, the Oracle Web Server Administration Listener (installed with the Web Server) must be running on the server node for Oracle Web Server Manager to operate. For OAS 4.0 the node manager must be available.

This version of Oracle Web Server Manager is designed for use under the following operating systems: Windows NT 4.0 or higher, Windows 95 and Windows 98.

Discovery of Application Servers and Launching OAS Manager Pages

After installing Oracle Web Server Manager, the service discovery wizard must be run from the Oracle Enterprise Manager console for Application Server discovery to take place. No special information needs to be entered in the service discovery wizard; Application Servers will be discovered along with any Oracle databases or other discoverable services. If an Application Server is installed on a node where services have already been discovered, the 'refresh' feature of the service discovery wizard will add the Application Server to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Navigator.

All discovered Application Servers will be shown under the Application Server container in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Navigator. Highlighting a Application Server and selecting the Quick Edit option from the Navigator menu (or the menu that appears when right-clicking on the selected Application Server) brings up the system's default web browser and a login dialog box. The login information is required to connect to the administration port of the Application Server (login credentials and port number are set during Application Server installation). When correct credentials are entered, the Application Server's management pages will load in the system's default web browser.
