Install the Web Interface (Windows)

Note: On the Web Interface installation media, the \Harweb directory contains the installation files for the Web Interface on all supported platforms.

Follow these steps:

1. Insert the Web Interface installation media in the drive of your Windows computer.
2. Open a command prompt and change directories to the Web Interface directory on the Web Interface installation media. For example:

   cd DVD-drive:\Harweb
   

3. At the command prompt, enter the following command to start the Web Interface Installation Wizard:

   HarwebInstall.bat
   

4. Follow the instructions on the wizard pages.

   Important! On the Web Interface Installation wizard, you can enter non‑English characters (such as Japanese or accented characters) when you specify the name of the context root (.war file name). Note, however, that the .war file names with non-English characters may lead to problems due to system limitations in some servlet containers. If your .war filename contains non‑English characters, Tomcat and other application servers may not be able to generate a context with a matching name. Therefore, you should use only single-byte, English characters when you name the .war file you are creating, especially for Tomcat.

5. When you are finished, click Finish.

   After you complete the installation procedure for your platform, the Web Interface Installation Wizard performs the following tasks upon exiting:

   • Creates a subdirectory named HARWEBHDT in the temporary directory you specified in the wizard
   • Creates the harweb.war file in the HARWEBHDT directory
   • Creates the harweb.rsp file in the temporary directory you specified in the wizard
   • Automatically deploys the harweb.war file to your application server, unless you selected the Package war file only check box
   • Creates or updates the harweb.cfg file and updates the web.xml file to work with your specific Web Interface installation
   • Copies the JDBC driver file or files required for your DBMS from the specified location to the …\WEB-INF\lib directory (for Windows) or the …/WEB-INF/lib directory (for UNIX or Linux).
