Configuring an Oracle WebLogic Application Server 8.1

The eG agent package contains a web archive file called egurkha.war. On Unix environments, this file will be available in the /opt/egurkha/lib location. On Windows environment, this file will be available in the <EG_HOME_DIR>\lib directory. This file has to be installed on the WebLogic 8.0 (and above), which has to be monitored.

To deploy the egurkha.war file on a Oracle WebLogic application server 8.1 that requires monitoring, do the following:

1. Go to the following URL: http:\\<WebLogic_server_IP>:<WebLogicPort>/console

2. Now, an authentication dialog (see Figure 2) that requires a username and password, will appear. Specify the same password you gave during the installation of the Weblogic server.  If your environment is configured differently, please contact your WebLogic administrator to find out the username and password to use to login to the WebLogic console.

3. Upon successful authentication, the following WebLogic 8.1 Administration console will appear (see Figure 3).

4. From the right panel, choose the Web Application Modules link under the Domain Configurations group. The following screen will then appear:

5. From the right panel, choose the Deploy a new Web Application Module option, which will bring the screen represented by Figure 5 to light.  Next, using the Browse button in the right panel, select the egurkha.war file (see Figure 5) from the <EG_HOME_DIR>\lib directory (in Unix, this will be /opt/egurkha/lib) and then, click on the Upload button.

   Note:

   By default, the egurkha.war file will be searched for in the local disk of the system from which the browser is launched. Therefore, if you are trying to access the WebLogic console from a system that does not host an eG agent, then, before attempting to deploy the egurkha.war file, copy the war file from the <EG_HOME_DIR>\lib directory  (in Windows environments. In Unix, this will be /opt/egurkha/lib) of an agent host, to your local disk. Then, proceed to perform the war deployment.

6. Next, select the archive path for the web application module being deployed by clicking on the radio button corresponding to the egurkha.war file in Figure 6. Then, click on the Target Module button therein.

7. A summary of the details specified will then appear, to enable their review and reconfirmation (see Figure 7). Provide a name to identify the web application module being added in the Name text box of Figure 7.
