Configure Each Copy of the Product

You must configure each of the WAR files that you created separately. This environment setup requires application-level external configuration.

Follow these steps:

  1. Verify that the CAOMWV12_HOME variable exists, if you want to use external configuration.
  2. Locate the configuration tool in the following directory: 
    <installation_directory>/util
  3. Execute the configuration tool as follows:
    Windows
    1. Set util as the current folder from the command prompt.
    2. Execute configtool.bat.
    Linux/UNIX
    1. Set util as the current folder from the console.
    2. Execute configtool.sh.
  4. Select Application Level External Configuration as your configuration type.

    This configuration lets you have two or more copies of the product on one Java application web server, or on one computer.

  5. Select a different Application Level External Configuration location for each WAR file.
  6. Select the settings that you want to configure from the menu.

    Important! If you are running the configuration tool for the first time, for example, the initial configuration after an install, select the All Web Viewer Settings menu option. Be sure to select a different [CCI (Common Communications Interface) Client System ID ] for each CA OM Web Viewer on your network. Note, by default, the Client System ID will be a modified version of your computer name. If you have two instances of CA OM Web Viewer on the same computer they must each have a different Client System IDs.

  7. Create the configuration by completing all the sections in the wizard.

    You can edit the configuration as often as necessary.

  8. Exit the utility after the configuration completes.
  9. (Optional) Copy configuration files to an alternate location, if you want to use the configuration files on a different computer.
  10. Restart the CA OM Web Viewer application or redeploy the application as needed, for the changes to take effect.
