Introduction

  • Initial Operation is performed after installation of the JS7 Agent, Controller and JOC Cockpit.
  • Tasks include to register a Standalone Controller and Agents.

Prerequisites

Initial Operation requires that a JS7 Agent, Controller and JOC Cockpit are successfully installed and are up and running.

Initial Operation

Login to JOC Cockpit User Interface

  • In your browser navigate to the JOC Cockpit URL and enter the User Account and Password. Typically the URL includes the hostname and port that JOC Cockpit has been installed for:

    • For example, http://myhost:4446. Please check that the JOC Cockpit port is accessible which might include to add firewall rules to allow access to this port from the computer that you operate the browser for.

    • After initial installation of JOC Cockpit the default User Account root and the Password root will be available if no changes have been made to the shiro.ini configuration file.

  • Note that the root user is assigned the all role in the default configuration that includes any available permissions.
    See the Authentication and Authorization - Configuration article for information about the configuration of other user profiles and authentication methods.

  • Note that the JOC Cockpit web service might take a minute to start and to display the login window.

Register Controller and Agents

After successful login to JOC Cockpit a dialog window appears. This window asks to register a Controller. You will find the same dialog later on from the User -> Manage Controllers/Agents menu item.

Register Standalone Controller

Registering a Standalone Controller is a straightforward task:



Explanation

  • The title added for the Controller will be visible in the JS7 - Dashboard view.
  • The URL for JOC Cockpit is the hostname and port of the Controller as seen by JOC Cockpit. This URL is used by JOC Cockpit to connect to a Controller.
  • Consider that the Controller's port is accessible which might include to add firewall rules to allow access to this port from the server that JOC Cockpit is operated for.

Register Agents

After the connection between JOC Cockpit and the Controller is established you can add Agents. To register an Agent switch to the Manage Controller/Agents view from the user menu. Click on the Action Menu of the Controller for which an Agent should be registered and select Add Agent.

Explanation: 

  • The Agent is assigned an Agent ID which is a unique identifier for this Agent that cannot be modified during the lifetime of an Agent. Change of the Agent ID requires to remove and to add the Agent with JOC Cockpit, it is not required to uninstall/reinstall an Agent.
  • The Agent Name is a unique identifier that is used for example in the Configuration view to assign Agents to jobs. The Agent Name can be modified later on
  • In addition, you can add Agent Alias Names to make the same Agent available by different names.
  • The Agent URL is the hostname and port for which the Agent is operated.
