Installation Overview
Thank you for your interest in Atrium, the intuitive IBM i enterprise portal. To install, simply download the Atrium installer and run the executable file. The installation process is completely automated. You should be up and running in 5-10 minutes.System Requirements
Atrium requires i5/OS (or IBM i) V5R2 or higher.Technical Details
The installer uses FTP to upload a library named ATRIUM. In addition, it creates and uploads files to an IFS folder named /atrium/. The default library and folder names can be overridden during installation.
The installer also creates an HTTP (Apache) Instance named ATRIUM and starts it. The default port used is 480.
* The HTTP powered by Apache server is included with the operating system of every iSeries/i machine. If successfully configured and started, you will see jobs named GENIE running under the QHTTPSVR subsystem. You can use the WRKACTJOB or WRKSBSJOB commands to find them. The manual commands to end and start the server after it is configured are:
ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(ATRIUM)
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(ATRIUM)
If the HTTP server is not starting, this may be due to an authority issue. A Profound Logic tech support representative can help you troubleshoot the problem.
When the installation completes, you will have the option to launch Atrium. Atrium is a browser-based product, so it will launch in your default browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
If this is your first time launching the product, you will be redirected to the Profound Logic site to activate your copy. You will see a web page that asks you to confirm your system information. After having done this, an activation key will be emailed to you.
Once your copy of Atrium is activated, you can launch Atrium again using a desktop icon or by going directly to the Atrium URL.
The URL for Atrium is formatted as follows: http://iserieshost:480/atrium/atrium.pgm.
Getting Started
Atrium will provide businesses with a more intuitive process for accessing all of their critical applications. Unlike traditional green-screen menus, which may require users to drill down through multiple screens, Atrium provides direct access to the relevant menu options. The portal's interface offers a straightforward navigation system that includes the use of drop-down trees, accordion panels, toolbars, and pull-down menus. It allows system administrators to tailor the interface visually, as well as set up authority-based permissions.The portal provides a secure framework to house all of your web applications and modernized green-screens under a single sign-on tied to either IBM i user profiles or a custom set of user names and passwords. All of the security features native to the IBM i are automatically preserved, while additional administrator functionality further protects the company's applications and data by ensuring that access is only granted to authorized users.
Simple set up
Atrium has been designed with an easy to use Control Panel where the addition of users, groups, menus and applications is quick and simple. Administrators can create and manage groups, user settings, and toolbar options within just a few clicks. You can customize Atrium with your own company logo and color themes as well. Profound Logic also offers a Getting Started with Atrium Guide that will take users through a step by step process of setting up your portal, modifying user settings, navigation and more.
