What’s Next

You install MashZone NextGen using the Software AG Installer. See the Installing Software AG Products guide for instructions.

The post-installation tasks you must complete to allow users to start working with MashZone NextGen include:

1. Start the MashZone NextGen Server. See Start and Stop the MashZone NextGen Server for instructions.

2. Login to MashZone NextGen Hub:

a. Open MashZone NextGen Hub in a browser at http://localhost:8080/presto.

If you used a different port number when you installed MashZone NextGen or the MashZone NextGen Server is running on a different host, change the domain and port number appropriately.

b. Use the credentials for the default administrator account:

User name = Administrator

Password = manage

3. If you are using the default MashZone NextGen User Repository rather than an LDAP Directory to manage users and groups for MashZone NextGen, it is a good practice to change the password for this default administrator account.

a. Open your profile from the MashZone NextGen Hub menu bar and click My Password.

b. Enter your new password and confirm this.

c. Then click Change Password.

If you will use your LDAP Directory as the MashZone NextGen User Repository, this default account is disabled once LDAP configuration is complete.

4. Set up a robust database to use as the MashZone NextGen Repository.

MashZone NextGen is installed with Derby as an embedded database hosting the MashZone NextGen Repository for trial purposes only. The default Derby database should not be used for serious development environments or for staging or production.

See Move the MashZone NextGen and MashZone Repositories to a Robust Database Solution for instructions.

For MashZone NextGen database compatibility information, see MashZone NextGen and MashZone Database Compatibility.

5. If you want MashZone NextGen to use your LDAP Directory as the repository for user and group information, you must update configuration. See Integrate Your LDAP Directory with MashZone NextGen for instructions.

6. Configure the Integrated MashZone Server and the Event Service. See Integrated MashZone Server Configuration and Administration and Event Service Configuration and Administration for instructions.

7. If you have also installed Terracotta BigMemory and received your BigMemory license, add this license to MashZone NextGen and configure MashZone NextGen to work with BigMemory. See Manage Licenses for MashZone NextGen, Universal Messaging and BigMemory and Configure BigMemory Servers for MashZone NextGen Caching and In-Memory Stores for instructions.

In addition to these required steps, there are many other optional configuration tasks you may wish to complete. See What’s Next for links to optional tasks.
