The AppManager Operations Portal requires installation of the NetIQ Operations Center Server and Dashboard.
WARNING:The configuration processes required for the AppManager Operations Portal overwrite any pre-existing NetIQ AppManager adapter definitions saved with the name NetIQ(r)AppManager(r), and custom configurations to that adapter are lost.
Before you start the following procedure, have the following guides available for reference:
To install Operations Center software:
Install Operations Center.
For more information, see the following sections in the Operations Center Server Installation Guide:
Do not start the Operations Center server as part of this installation process.
Install Operations Center Dashboard.
For more information, see the following sections in the Operations Center Dashboard Guide:
Do not start the Dashboard as part of this installation process.
Install the latest Operations Center Server and Dashboard patch releases.
For more information about patching the server, see Patching Operations Center Server Software
in the Operations Center Server Installation Guide.
For more information about patching the Dashboard, see Upgrading the Dashboard
in the Operations Center Dashboard Guide.
Do one of the following to start the Operations Center server:
Windows: Select Start NetIQ Operations Center under Start > Programs > NetIQ Operations Center.
Starting Operations Center via the Windows Start menu starts the Operations Center server locally, but not as a service. Therefore, when you log out, the Operations Center server stops.
UNIX Log in as the user formula (or another user with root privileges) and from the Operations_Center_installation_path/bin directory, type mosdaemon at a command prompt.
For additional instructions, including configurations to automatically start the server, see Starting and Stopping the Server
in the Operations Center Server Installation Guide.
