2.1.2 Open Separate Browser Windows For New URLs
As a default behavior of Microsoft Internet Explorer, if the browser is displaying a Web page, and you click a link in an e-mail or an alert, the page opens in the most
recently used browser window. You can change this behavior so that a separate browser window opens each time a link outside of the current browser is clicked.
It is recommended to change this setting if you often have browsers running that should remain open when you click links in e-mails or alerts.
To change the setting to open a separate browser for links in alerts or e-mails: 1.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, select Tools Internet Options. 2.
Click the Advanced tab. 3.
In the Browsing settings, ensure that the Reuse windows for launching shortcuts check box is deselected.
4. Click OK.
2.1.3 Configure Print Settings
Better quality printing results if the Print background colors and images option is selected, which is not a default setting. This setting provides increased quality
printing, especially for Crosstab views.
To change the setting for printing backgrounds: 1.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, select Tools Internet Options. 2.
Click the Advanced tab. 3.
In the Printing settings, select the Print background colors and images check box. 4.
Click OK.
2.1.4 Disable Browser Caching
To ensure that the most recent file versions are displayed, set the Microsoft Internet Explorer option to automatically check for updated files.
To change the cached files setting: 1.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, select Tools Internet Options. 2.
On the General tab, click Settings under the Browsing History section in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.
3. Select Automatically.
4. Click OK.

2.2 Starting Oracle BAM Web Applications
Always use the start page to start Oracle BAM Web applications. Do not start the Web applications from a direct URL to the application. Using the start page ensures that
caching works correctly. Also, do not use localhost in the URL instead of the host name.
To start Oracle BAM Web applications: 1.
In your Web browser, go to http:host:http_portOracleBAM
where host is the name or IP address of the server where Oracle BAM is installed.
The Oracle BAM login page opens.
2.
Log in with your user name and password. The Oracle BAM start page opens.
3.
Click the buttons in the start page to launch the applications. Each Oracle BAM Web application launches in a separate browser window.
4.
Log out of the Oracle BAM start page when you are finished using the applications.
Note: The Oracle BAM start page URL is case sensitive. Enter the
URL exactly as indicated in the example.
