How To: Login into Demantra application

How To: Login into Demantra application

Demantra installer adds a folder with name like "Oracle Demantra Spectrum" under "Start>>Program Files" menu option. (Remember: This startup program option is created only if during installation you have selected the corresponding option)


Click on Start >Programs > Oracle Demantra Spectrum, on Demantra server machine and you should see a list of programs available in the list. (as shown here)


Demantra application comprises of a set of desktop based and web-based applications. Desktop based applications are adminstrative ones like Business Modeler, Demand Planner, Engine Administrator & Scheduler. Web-based applications are Collaborator Workbench and Workflow manager, these can be accessed from IE(Internet explorer) using specific URLs. Start & Stop Web Server, options are available for tomcat control.

Other programs listed like Analytical Engine, Business Logic Engine & Simulation Engine are very rarely used and some of them launch Engine in command prompt mode.

To Login into Collaborator Workbench, for accessing worksheets and dashboards:

>Ensure Web Server is up and running
>Click on "Collaborator Workbench" option
>In Login screen enter user: dm/password: dm
>Wait till all the java applets are loaded and then click on any of the worksheets under pane "My Worksheets"
>This should launch the workhseet application.
Remember:
1. One can start the desktop based application, with DB up and running. For web-based applications, tomcat (web server) should be running too.
2. One can use seeded logins like dm/dm, sop/sop etc, based on modules which have been installed.
