How do I find the URL for the Platform Management Console?

Symphony

On Windows, navigate to the Windows Start menu > Programs > Platform Computing. Under the EGO folder, select "Platform Management Console". This will automatically launch a browser with the Platform Management Console.

On Unix (also available on Windows), run the "egosh client view GUIURL_1" command. The URL for the Platform Management Console can be found under "DESCRIPTION".

Symphony DE

Provided your vem_resource.conf file contains the correct "GUI service information" configuration, you can run the "start_agent -u" command to get the PMC URL. The vem_resource.conf file can be found under $SOAM_HOME/conf on Unix or %SOAM_HOME%\conf on Windows.

On Windows, you can also navigate to the Windows Start menu > Programs > Platform Computing. Under the Symphony Developer Edition folder, select the item that refers to the "Platform Management Console". This will automatically launch a browser with the Platform Management Console.

If your vem_resource.conf file does not contain the correct "GUI service information" configuration:

  1. Go to the host listed under "GUI service information" in the vem_resource.conf file.

  2. On that host, open the $SOAM_HOME/gui/conf/server.xml file on Unix or %SOAM_HOME%\gui\conf\server.xml on Windows and search for "Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector".

    The Platform Management Console will be hosted on that host on the port specified below this comment, in <Connector port="18080" ... />.

  3. The URL will be "http://hostname:port/platform", where port is substituted with the one found in the server.xml file and hostname is substituted with the one found under "GUI service information" in vem_resource.conf.
