This topic applies when you have installed the product using native user interface processes and installed the portal application and the Assure UI server using the portal application option in the product’s installation wizard, or when you have installed the Assure UI server on Windows.
Use this procedure to complete the Assure UI portal setup on a new installation.
- A default portal connection exists for the node on which you logged in. If you are
hosting the Assure UI server on a different node than where your Precisely product
is installed, or if you want redundancy for your instance, do the following to
configure additional portal connections:
From the Portal Connections portlet, select Add.
The Add Portal Connection dialog opens. Specify a name for the node used for this portal connection, the Host name or IP address of the node, the user ID to use to connect to the node, password preferences, and a description of the connection. Then click OK.
-
Configure an instance of your Precisely product. From the Instances portlet, select Add. The wizard will prompt you to identify a portal connection, the product library that you want to manage, and the instance domain. The instance domain defines the association between the portal connection and the nodes on which the identified product runs.
When the instance is added, you will see the instance name and status appear in the navigation area.
-
Optionally, you can log in as Assure UI administrator to configure an email server and define groups of users who can share a configured instance and be subscribed to be informed of product events when they occur. For details, see the Assure Unified Interface User’s Guide book.
