2 Verifying the OracleAS Wireless Installation

This chapter describes how to access the OracleAS Wireless tools and the Device Customization portal to verify the proper installment and functioning of these applications. See the Oracle Application Server Wireless Developer's Guide for information on installing OracleAS Wireless.

This chapter includes the following sections:

2.1 Starting the Oracle Application Server Wireless Server

Before OracleAS Wireless users can access the OracleAS Wireless development tools, the administrator must start the server using the OracleAS Wireless system management page (accessed through the Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control).

To log into the Application Server Control and access the management functions for OracleAS Wireless:

  1. Enter the following URL into a browser:

    http://Server:1810


    Note:

    The default ports are 1810 and 1811. The port number range is 1812 to 1820. To ensure that you are using the correct port number, check the port number for Oracle Application Server Wireless stored in [Oracle home]/install/portlist.ini.

    Refer to the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide for more information on port usage.


  2. Enter the administrator user name and password. The Oracle Enterprise Manager Home page appears (Figure 2-1).

2.1.1 Configuring the OracleAS Wireless Server

If the Configuration Status displays as Not Configured (as it would, for example, during the initial session after the OracleAS Wireless repository has been installed), an administrator can configure the OracleAS Wireless Server within minutes using a two-step configuration wizard accessed through the Basic Site Configuration link. The administrator need only add the name and port values for the HTTP and HTTPS proxy server, the address for the OracleAS Wireless access points for the Async Listener, SMS and IM servers, and then set the correct time zone for the OracleAS Wireless Server. For more information, see Section 3.3 in Chapter 3, "Managing the OracleAS Wireless Server".


Note:

If the Configuration Status indicates that the OracleAS Wireless sever has not been configured, then the administrator must configure the server before starting the processes.

2.2 Accessing the OracleAS Wireless Customization Portal

This section describes how to log into the OracleAS Wireless Customization Portal.

Before using the OracleAS Wireless Customization Portal, you must access the login page by entering the following URL in a browser:

http://<host>:<port>/mobile/Login.uix

For example, you access the login page through the following URL:

http://hostname:7777/mobile/Login.uix


Note:

7777 is the default port number for Oracle Application Server Wireless. The port number range is 7777 to 7877. To ensure that you are using the correct port number, check the port number for Oracle Application Server Wireless stored in [Oracle home]/install/portlist.ini. For more information on port usage, see the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide

After you enter the URL, the login page for the Wireless Customization Portal appears. This page includes the described in Table 2-1.

2.3 Accessing the OracleAS Wireless Tools

This section describes how to log into the Oracle Application Server Wireless Tools to access the User Manager, Service Designer, Foundation Manager, and Content Manager. If you access the Oracle Application Server Wireless Tools in standalone mode, then you can also access the System Manager (described in Section 2.1).

Access the login page for the Oracle Application Server Wireless Tools through the following URL:

http://<host>:<port>/webtool/login.uix

For example, you access the login page through the following URL:

http://hostname:7777/webtool/login.uix


Note:

7777 is the default port number for Oracle Application Server Wireless. The port number range is 7777 to 7877. To ensure that you are using the correct port number, check the port number for Oracle Application Server Wireless stored in [Oracle home]/install/portlist.ini. For more information on port usage, see the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide

Enter your user name and then enter your password. If you are an administrator, enter orcladmin as your user name. (The password is set during installation, but can be changed with the User Manager.) The Oracle Application Server Wireless Tools appear, with the User Manager displaying by default (as displayed in Figure 2-4).

2.4 Re-Registering the OracleAS Wireless Portal Services URL Reference in OracleAS Portal

Installing Oracle Application Server Wireless 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.02) against Oracle Application Server Wireless 9.0.2 re-registers the OracleAS Wireless portal service URL and might prevent OracleAS Portal from responding to mobile requests. To avoid this problem, you must re-register the URL in the Oracle Application Server Portal as follows:

  1. From the Portal Builder, click the Administer tab.

  2. In the Services portlet, click Global Settings.

  3. Click the Mobile tab.

  4. Enter the OracleAS Wireless URL in the OracleAS Wireless 10g Wireless Portal Service URL field.

  5. Click OK.

For more information about configuring mobile settings and updating the Oracle Application Server Wireless service URL in OracleAS Portal, refer to the Oracle Application Server Portal Configuration Guide.
