You can deploy the data source adapters on the Apache Tomcat
server.
Before you begin
You must install Apache Tomcat and Rational® Publishing Engine with
the data services feature before you can deploy the data source adapters.
If
you are using the
IBM® Rational RequisitePro® adapter,
configure the Apache Tomcat argument:
- Add JVM generic options: DRJCB_IN_MTA_ONLY='RJCB' –Xquickstart
- In the Maximum memory pool field, enter 512MB.
Procedure
- Open the Apache Tomcat Manager in
a browser: http://server:port/manager/html. Example: http://localhost:8080/manager/html.
- Add the adapter plug-ins to the web application by copying
the adapter archive files to the library directory of the web application.
- Locate the plug-ins for the adapters. By default, the
plug-ins are installed in a subdirectory of the %RPE_HOME%\web
services\data services directory. For example,
the plug-ins are in %RPE_HOME%\web services\data services\eclipse\plugins.
- Locate the file system directory of the web application
at %CATALINA_HOME%\DataServices\WEB-INF\eclipse.
- Copy the contents of the eclipse directory
of substep (a) to the directory of substep (b). Make sure that the
contents of the eclipse/features directory is
copied to the features directory and the contents
of the eclipse/plug-ins directories is copied
to the plugins directory. Do not to delete any
files in the deployed web application. The features and plug-ins for
each adapter must be merged with the features and plug-ins of the
web application.
- Restart the application server.
What to do next
Verify that the data services are deployed correctly.
Enter
http://server:port/DataServices.war_context_path in
a browser. If the deployment is correct, the page displays an XML
list of each installed adapter.
