Configuring Oracle Application Server 10g R3 for OAI-PMH connector

If you chose to install the OAI-PMH connector and you completed the Web server-servlet engine configuration in the post installation setup, these manual steps will have automatically been completed for you.

 

IMPORTANT: For supported versions of Web server-servlet engines, visit http://support.esri.com, select software > ArcIMS > System Requirements

 

Follow these steps to configure Oracle Application Server 10g R2 for the OAI-PMH Connector:

  1. Locate the file aimsharvester.war in the <ArcIMS install directory>\ArcIMS\Metadata\OAI-PMH\Connector directory. This is the WAR file you will deploy.

 

  1. Log in to http://<machinename>/em and log in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager

 

  1. Log in to http://<machinename>/em and log in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager.

 

  1. Go to “home” under Groups. The default username is oc4jadmin. Click on Applications and click on the Deploy button on the right side. Browse to <ArcIMS install directory>\ArcIMS\Metadata\OAI-PMH\Connector\aimsharvester.war  in Web Application. Under Application Name enter aimsharvester. Under Map to URL enter /aimsharvester. Click OK to confirm and deploy the war file.    

 

  1. Close the Oracle administrator.

 

  1. Restart your Oracle Application Server if it is not already started.

 

  1. To verify that the OAI-PMH Connector was configured successfully, in a Web browser go to http://<hostname>/aimsharvester

 

  1. In a text editor (such as Notepad), open <ArcIMS install directory>\ArcIMS\Metadata\OAI-PMH\Connector\aimsharvester\WEB-INF\classes\aims_oai.properties and edit the following variables:

appServerMachine=hostname (replace hostname with Application Server machine)

appServerPort=5300 (or port for Application Server machine)

Identify.baseURL=http://localhost/aimsharvester/oai2.0 (replace localhost with appropriate local host name)

Identify.repositoryIdentifier=myhost.org (replace myhost with appropriate host name)

 

 

 

When you deploy the WAR file, the servlet engine expands the WAR file. The default location is <oracle install directory>\j2ee\home\applications\aimharvester\aimsharvester.

 

After your Web server has been configured you will need to configure the OAI-PMH connector for your Metadata Service. See the Creating_Metadata_Services.pdf (Harvesting documents section) for details.
