Before starting Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer, the following prerequisites must be met:

• For best performance, install version 10,0,22,87 of the Adobe Flash Player.

  For instructions on testing the current version of Flash Player installed on your computer, see the Version test for Adobe Flash Player Web site: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507.

  For more information, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/.

• You must configure your computer display for a resolution of 1024x768 or higher.

• Oracle recommends that you use Internet Explorer 7 or higher.

• For some Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer tasks, you must log into Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer using an Oracle Stream Analytics server account configured for the administrator role. For more information, see User, Group, and Role Management.

1. Confirm that your browser meets the necessary requirements.

   See Prerequisites.

2. Invoke the following URL in your browser:

   http://host:port/wlevs
   

   where host refers to the name of the computer on which Oracle Stream Analytics is running and port refers to the Jetty NetIO port configured for the server (default value 9002).

   The port number is configured in the config.xml file in the Oracle/Middleware/my_oep/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_DIR/servername/config directory. The port number is the value of the port child element of the netio object configured for the Jetty server, as shown in the following example (only relevant parts shown):

       <netio>
           <name>NetIO</name>
           <port>9002</port>
       </netio>
       ...
       <jetty>
           <name>JettyServer</name>
           <network-io-name>NetIO</network-io-name>
           ...
       </jetty>
   

   For example, if your browser is running on the same computer as Oracle Stream Analytics and you are using the default port, invoke the following URL:

   http://localhost:9002/wlevs
   

   If you want to use HTTPS to connect to Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer, specify the SSL port number. This is the port assigned to the netio element referenced by the secure-network-io-name Jetty element. The default value is 9003.

   For example, if you have the following configuration (only relevant parts shown):

       <netio>
           <name>sslNetIo</name>
           ...
           <port>9003</port>
       </netio>
       <jetty>
           ...
           <secure-network-io-name>sslNetIo</secure-network-io-name>
       </jetty>
   

   use the following URL:

   https://localhost:9003/wlevs
   

   The Login screen appears as Figure 2-1 shows.

3. In the Login screen, enter the user name and password for the administrator user you configured when you created the domain.

   Note:

   The security features of Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer work only if you have security enabled for Oracle Stream Analytics server. If you disable Oracle Stream Analytics server security, then:

   • Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer does not provide default users, groups, and roles.

   • You cannot create new users, groups, and roles.

   • There is still a login page when you first enter Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer, but you can enter anything for the user name and password.

4. Click Login.

   Note that if you stop the server while Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer is running, you might see informational messages about the service proxy. These are typically not errors.

1. Create a multiserver domain.

   For example, assume you have a multiserver domain with three servers (defaultserver, server1, and server2). Each server directory is a child directory of the domain directory, which is /Oracle/Middleware/my_oep/user_projects/domains/myDomain.

2. Configure SSL to secure communication between the servers in the multiserver domain.
3. Choose one Oracle Stream Analytics server in the multiserver domain to host Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer access.

   In this example, defaultserver will host Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer access.

4. Specify the -disablevisualizer flag when you start the other servers in the multiserver domain that will not provide access to Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer.

   You want the defaultserver to host Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer and thus must disable access to Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer from the other two servers. In this case, you would start each server as follows:

     prompt> cd /Oracle/Middleware/my_oep/user_projects/domains/myDomain/defaultserver
     prompt> startwlevs
     prompt> cd ../server1
     prompt> startwlevs -disablevisualizer
     prompt> cd ../server2
     prompt> startwlevs -disablevisualizer
   

5. Configure SSL to secure communication between Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer and default server.
6. Start Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer.
