Start the Apache Tomcat Server

To enable access to Web Services, the JCL to start the Apache Tomcat server must be customized.

Follow these steps:

  1. Edit the JCL in member WSTOMSTC in CSIQJCL as described in the member:

    Note: The STEPLIB value must point to the installed data set CSIQPLD or Web Services will not function. WSTOMENV must be reviewed and updated before trying to start Web Services.

    The WSTOMSTC member is customized.

  2. Copy WSTOMSTC JCL from the sample library (CSIQJCL) to a system procedure library so it can be executed as a started task after it has been tested.

    Note: The user ID used to start the Tomcat server must have read access to the path defined in INSTALL_HOME and write access to the path defined in PRODUCT_HOME in WSTOMENV.

  3. Work with your systems administrator to make sure that WSTOMSTC task that will be started after an IPL.

    The JCL is customized so that the Apache Tomcat server will start in its own address space.
