SharePlex Manager 3.1 - Installation Guide

To stop SharePlex Web Services for Linux, execute
sh <install_dir>/Webservices/bin/web-services.sh stop. For Windows, close the window it is running in.

If started successfully, SharePlex Web Services writes log entries to stdout that indicate it's running. For example:

$ sh ./bin/web-services.sh start

Activated on port 3000: <process entry from ps>

To configure SharePlex Web Services to start at reboot, do the following:

Create the file /etc/init.d/spo-web-services with the following content (assumes that Java is installed in the default <install_dir>/jre directory and the SharePlex Web Services is installed in <install_dir>/Webservices/bin):

#!/bin/sh

JAVA_HOME=<install_dir>/jre
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

export JAVA_HOME PATH

sh <install_dir>/Webservices/bin/web-services.sh "${@}"

#!/bin/bash

# SharePlex for Oracle Web Services

# chkconfig: 35 <start priority> <stop priority>

# description: SharePlex for Oracle Web Services

JAVA_HOME=<install_dir>/jre

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

export JAVA_HOME PATH

sh <install_dir>/Webservices/bin/web-services.sh "${@}"

Replace <install_dir> with the directory for the installation of SharePlex Manager.

Note

Unless there is a good reason to the contrary, the <endpriority> should be equal to 100 minus <startpriority>. <startpriority> is the “priority” weight for starting the sevice, while <endpriority> is the “priority” weight for stopping the service. Servcies are started and stopped in numerical order starting at 0, e.g., 90 for <startpriority> and 10 for <endpriority>.

Replace <start priority> and <stop priority> with

Use the chkconfig command to configure the script to start at boot

[root@hostname dir]# /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 spo-web-services on

Verify the installation with

[root@hostname dir]# service spo-web-services status

SharePlex Web Services is configured to start on next reboot.

Login to SharePlex Manager

When you start the Foglight server for the first time after installing SharePlex Manager, SharePlex Manager automatically creates two Foglight user accounts named SharePlexMgr and SPOMgrAdmin and adds them to a new user group named SharePlex Manager.

SharePlexMgr is a basic default user account that has all the rights associated with Foglight User. and is configured with the following security rights:

•

Can access all monitoring screens

•

Can set parameters and execute process control commands (stop/start/abort) only on the streams it is specifically authorized to manage

•

Cannot run the Discovery Wizard or perform configuration tasks

Note

Until the SharePlexMgr account is granted permissions on a particular stream, the Administration link on the Replication Overview window is deactivated.

SPOMgrAdmin is a default administrator account and is configured with the following security rights:

•

Can access all of the SharePlex Manager screens and Foglight administration screens.

•

Can run the Discovery Wizard and perform configuration tasks, such as configure views, manage Foglight users, and modify alerts and alarms

•

Does not belong to the Foglight user group Cartridge Developers, which means SPOMgrAdmin is not allowed to modify monitoring screens.

As a Foglight administrator, SPOMgrAdmin can modify the security rights of other users (including itself) and can also create additional SharePlex Manager user accounts and user groups as needed. For more information, see your Foglight documentation.

To login to SharePlex Manager:

Open your browser window and go to the Foglight login page.

If you installed Foglight on your local machine using the default 8080 port number, the SharePlex Manager login URL would be: http://localhost:8080/.

In the Foglight login page, enter your SharePlex Manager user name and password.

Note

If you are logging in as SharePlexMgr, enter SharePlexMgr as both the user name and password. If you are logging in as SPOMgrAdmin, enter SPOMgrAdmin as both the user name and password.

The password is case sensitive.
