Running Setup

Initialize the System from the GUI

The Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker (Communications Broker) requires initialization upon the first startup. You must do this from the ACLI upon the first startup. Later, you can re-initialize the Communications Broker from the GUI.

Caution:

If you ever need to initialize the system again, be aware that all configuration is lost during initialization and that the system reboots when you click Complete.

If you plan to configure High Availability (HA), note that you can use the Set Initial Configuration procedure to configure the primary Communications Broker first. Upon successful configuration of the primary, HA operations begin as soon as you complete the Set Initial Configuration on the secondary Communications Broker.

To initialize the system from the GUI, navigate to the System tab and select the Set initial configuration Operation from the System Operations link.

The system displays the Configure system dialog.

On the Configure System dialog, do the following:
