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 remotely.
- 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,
or network installations, 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,
or network installations, 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, and network installations, use the adapters
and metadata of the remote environment.
- For network installations,
configure access from developer desktops to the shared machine where
you installed App Studio (see Configuring a Network Installation).
