The following is an overview of the steps needed to configure the web and/or application server for WebFOCUS.
If you do not have an application server, the WebFOCUS Client installation can install and configure Apache Tomcat for you.
WebFOCUS components are packaged as a J2EE web application. The web application is provided as the following WAR file:
/install_directory/ibi/WebFOCUS80/webapps/webfocus.war
It is also provided as the following expanded directory:
/install_directory/ibi/WebFOCUS80/webapps/webfocus
You can deploy either the WAR files or expanded directories depending on your preference and the capabilities of your application server. Be aware that when applying a service pack, any changes made to the web applications must be in the expanded directories to be maintained.
The default deployment parameters for WebFOCUS are:
Context Root/Path | Doc base or location |
---|---|
/ibi_apps | /install_directory/ibi/WebFOCUS80/webapps/webfocus.war |
/ibi_help | /install_directory/ibi/WebFOCUS80/webapps/ibi_help.war |
/approot | /install_directory/ibi/WebFOCUS80/webapps/approot.war |
Note: For information on manually configuring the ibi_html alias, see Removal of the ibi_html WebFOCUS Alias.
Note: If you are installing multiple instances, completely install and configure a single instance and then refer to Additional WebFOCUS Repository Topics and Tasks for instructions on configuring the second instance.
The following configurations are explained in this chapter:
For other web and/or application servers, review the information for the servers above and consult your third party documentation for the corresponding steps.
Note: If you changed the default names for the WebFOCUS context root (/ibi_apps), substitute accordingly.
