Starting the Apache Tomcat server

You are now ready to start the Apache Tomcat server.
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 profiles.ini file in JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz/provision_profiles to use an absolute path. See Modifying the profile.ini and license_profile.ini files.
  • 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 server Repository HTTP ports in the Advanced Properties configuration page of in the Jazz Admin Web UI.
  • The directory JazzInstallDir/server/logs contains the server log files. If you have trouble starting the server, check the log files.
  • The JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml file contains SSL settings that specify an algorithm only available in the IBM JRE. To run the server with a Sun JRE, in the server.xml file, change the settings for Connector port="9443", so that sslProtocol="TLS" instead of "SSL". Also remove the algorithm parameter.

Starting the server on Windows

Run the startup file to start your server on Windows.

About this task

Procedure

  1. To start the server, from the JazzInstallDir/server directory, run this command:
    server.startup.bat
    Note: A separate Apache Tomcat console window opens. Do not close this window or the server will stop working. Also, several informational messages launch, including a message about the Apache Tomcat Native Library. These informational messages do not affect the Jazz™ Team Server functionality.
  2. To stop the server, from the JazzInstallDir/server directory, run this command:
    server.shutdown.bat

What to do next

Note: The example above runs the start and stop scripts directly from the directory JazzInstallDir/server. If you installed Jazz Team Server using IBM® Installation Manager, you can also run the commands from the Jazz Team Server Windows start menu.

After the server is started, proceed to Running the setup wizard.

Starting the server on Linux

Run the startup file to start server on Linux.

About this task

Procedure

  1. To start the server, from the JazzInstallDir/server directory, as user root, run this command:
    ./server.startup
    If your user ID has administrator access, run this command:
    sudo ./server.startup

    A separate Apache Tomcat console window is not visible. You can check the server startup progress by viewing the log file at JazzInstallDir/server/logs/jazz.log.

  2. To stop the server, from the JazzInstallDir/server directory, as user root, run this command:
    ./server.shutdown
    If your user ID has administrator access, run this command:
    sudo ./server.shutdown

What to do next

Note: This example runs the start and stop scripts directly from the directory JazzInstallDir/server. If you installed Jazz Team Server by using IBM Installation Manager, you can also run the commands from the Jazz Team Server application start menu.

After the server is started, proceed to Running the setup wizard.
