Enable Authority to Start the Tomcat Server

To enable an administrator to start the Tomcat server, their user ID must have access to certain JVM environment values used by the Tomcat Server. These values are set by your web services administrator. The security administrator grants access to these paths in your site's security software.

Follow these steps:

1. Ask your web services administrator what values are set for the following JVM environment values. The web services administrator sets these values in member WSTOMENV.

   INSTALL_HOME— Specifies the location where Tomcat has been installed on the system. This should be based on the value of CCS_TOMCAT_DIR.

   PRODUCT_HOME— Specifies the location where Web Services will be implemented. This should be based on the value of TARGET_TOMCAT_DIR.

2. Update your security software to enable the appropriate users to access the paths as follows:
   • Read access to the path defined in INSTALL_HOME.
   • Write access to the path defined in PRODUCT_HOME.
