The steps to install and configure App Studio vary depending
on how you plan to develop applications.
xInstallation and Configuration Steps
Perform the following steps to install and configure
App Studio:
- Ensure all requirements
are met (see Installing App Studio).
- Run the App Studio
installation (see Installing App Studio).
- Ensure a web and/or
application server is configured either locally or remote.
- For local processing,
verify the automatic web or application server configuration (see Installing App Studio) or manually configure a web or application server
(see Configuring the Web Server or Application Server).
- For remote processing, ensure a WebFOCUS environment
has been configured somewhere on your network. See the WebFOCUS
and ReportCaster Installation and Configuration manual for
your platform to install WebFOCUS.
- Launch App Studio.
- Set up a connection
to a WebFOCUS environment.
- For local processing
and installation on a WebFOCUS machine, this should occur automatically
if the web server is configured. In some environments, you may need
to specify the web server port to set up the connection. You can
also create connections to additional WebFOCUS environments running
on your network.
- For remote processing, set up connections to WebFOCUS
environments and specify the default environment to use for development.
- Configure data adapters
and metadata to report on your data through the WebFOCUS Reporting
Server (see the Getting Started With WebFOCUS App Studio manual).
For remote processing, use
the adapters and metadata of the remote environment.
