Starting the Apache Tomcat server

This topic describes how to start the Apache Tomcat Server.
Before starting the server, proceed as follows:
Apache Tomcat has been installed in the directory JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat. The Web application (jazz.war) has been installed in the Apache Tomcat directory webapps. In a command window, set your current directory to JazzInstallDir/server. The server startup and shutdown scripts are located in this directory.
  • If you want to run the start and stop scripts from any other directory, you must change the .ini files in JazzInstallDir/server/provision_profiles to use an absolute path.
  • Apache Tomcat is configured to use the ports 9080 and 9443 in file JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml. If necessary, change them as appropriate for your system. If necessary, also update the configuration settings of Jazz Team Server repository HTTP ports in the Advanced Properties configuration page in the Jazz administrative Web interface.
  • The directory JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/logs contains the server log files. If you have trouble starting the server, check the log files.

If you are running a 32-bit system, edit JazzInstallDir/server.startup and jazzInstallDir/server.shutdown and replace zLinux64/ibm-java2-s390x-50 with zLinux32/ibm-java2-s390-50.

You are now ready to start the Apache Tomcat server. To do so, run the startup file.

  1. To start the server as user root, run this command:
    ./server.startup
    If your user ID has administrator access, run this command:
    sudo ./server.startup
    Note: A separate Apache Tomcat console window is not visible. You can check the server startup progress by viewing the log file at JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/logs/catalina.out.
  2. To stop the server as user root, run this command:
    ./server.shutdown
    If your user ID has administrator access, run this command:
    sudo ./server.shutdown
    Note: This example runs the start and stop scripts directly from the directory JazzInstallDir/server.
When the server is started, proceed to Running the setup wizard.
