How to Install & Configure WLS-SPI

TASK 2: (OPTIONAL)CONFIGURE THE MANAGEMENT
SERVER TO LAUNCH YOUR WEB BROWSER
WLS-SPI uses the ovweb utility to start your Web browser for displaying
graphed metrics (which require OpenView Performance Manager 4.0 or higher)
and also for launching the WebLogic Administration Console. If you do not use
OpenView Performance Manager and do not want to start the WebLogic console
from the OVO console, you can skip this task.
Before ovweb can launch your Web browser, however, you must insert the
browser invocation command within the
ovweb.conf file. If no browser
invocation command is included in the ovweb.conf file, ovweb tries to start
Netscape (which must be version 4.7 or higher).
NOTE The ovweb.conf file must be located in the directory specified by the
environment variable
$OV_CONF, used by OpenView Operations. If necessary to
discover the OpenView Operations directory structure on your management
server, open the
/opt/OV/bin/ov.envvars.sh file and look for the
$OV_CONF definition.
" Enter the browser invocation command in the ovweb.conf file:
The browser invocation command must contain a
%s to allow the
WebLogic SPI to pass a URL to the browser. Open the file and insert
the command according to the entry syntax and example as follows:
Syntax: Browser: <browser command>%s
Example: Browser: /opt/netscape/netscape %s
"
Check the Web browser setting: To display the WLS-SPI graphs,
ensure that your browser is JavaScript enabled. Check the setting
within the browser’s Preferences.
NOTE An additional step, covered in Task 6, is required for the graph display. In this
task you enter the location of the Reporter Windows system in the WLS-SPI
configuration file.
For more information about launching a browser in OpenView Operations,
consult the manpages for ovweb and
ovweb.conf and ov.envvars. To access
instructions for enabling graph displays, at a command prompt enter:
man ovweb
