You can deploy the Rational® Publishing Engine web
services on the Apache Tomcat server to run the remote reports, the
REST data services, and the data adapter services.
Before you begin
You must install
Rational Publishing Engine on
the server before deploying the Web Services. Make sure that a supported
server container such as Apache Tomcat 6.0 or later is configured
to run with a supported IBM Java Runtime Environment 6.0 or later
on 32 bit.
Procedure
- Start the Apache Tomcat Manager.
You can access it using http://hostname:port/manager/html.
For example, http://localhost:8080/manager/html.
- Enter the administrator credentials that
you defined during the Apache Tomcat installation procedure to authenticate
the server.
- In the section, click Browse.
- Select the web archive file %RPE_HOME%\web
services\engine\rpe.war file.
- Click Deploy.
- Confirm that the application has been deployed:
- Verify that the Rational Publishing Engine entry
appears in the Applications list.
- Verify that the path http://servername:port/rpe/ points
to an introductory page of the Rational Publishing Engine web
services.
- In the introductory page of the web services,
copy the either of the links to the web services definition schema: http://servername:port/rpe/services/RPEService?wsdl or http://servername:port/rpe/wsgate These links are required to complete the Configuring the client applications task.
